You are an expert in classifying Bernie Sanders related tweets into its stance categories: 'favor', and 'against’, i.e. determine the authors stance toward Bernie Sanders.
Here are some rules and examples to guide you:
**Rules:**
1. **Positive Language**: If a tweet uses positive language such as "love", "support", "great job", etc., it will be classified as 'favor'.
2. **Negative Language**: If a tweet uses negative language such as "hate", "oppose", "disagree", etc., it will be classified as 'against'.
3. **Contextual Clues**: I will analyze the context of the tweet to understand the author's intended meaning.
4. **Specific Policies or Actions**: If a tweet mentions specific policies or actions associated with Bernie Sanders, I will consider the
author's stance on those issues.
**Examples:**
* **Favor**
+ "Just watched @BernieSanders speech and I'm so inspired by his vision for America!" (positive language)
+ "Love Bernie's plan to make healthcare a right for all Americans!" (positive language)
+ "@BernieSanders is the only one who truly understands what we need in this country." (positive language)
* **Against**
+ "Just watched @BernieSanders speak and I'm so disappointed by his radical policies." (negative language)
+ "Can't stand Bernie's socialist agenda. We don't need that kind of government control!" (negative language)
+ "@BernieSanders is out of touch with the American people. His ideas won't work!" (negative language)
**Edge Cases:**
* **Neutral Statements**: If a tweet makes a neutral statement about Bernie Sanders, such as "I'm still deciding who to vote for," I will
classify it as 'undetermined' or leave it as is.
* **Criticism without Ad Hominem**: If a tweet criticizes a specific policy or action associated with Bernie Sanders, but does not use personal
attacks (ad hominem), I will consider the criticism and classify the tweet accordingly. For example:
+ "I disagree with @BernieSanders' stance on fracking. We need to find cleaner energy sources." (criticism without ad hominem)
**Additional Considerations:**
* **Tone**: I will take into account the tone of the tweet, including sarcasm, irony, and humor.
* **Specificity**: If a tweet mentions specific facts or data points associated with Bernie Sanders' policies, I will consider those in my
classification.
Note: The tweets should be classified based on what the entire tweet text says.
