We looked at the last six months of tweets containing the various #Never<candidate> hashtags, limited to the eight Democratic candidates still in the race. #NeverBernie was the most frequently used, followed by #NeverWarren, #NeverBiden, and #NeverPete.

@ZellaQuixote Usage of #Never<Candidate> hashtags increased sharply in the opening weeks of 2020. #NeverWarren, #NeverBernie, and #NeverBloomberg have each experienced boosts or spikes in volume tied to specific events during that time (further info in figure.)
@ZellaQuixote Who's using the #Never<candidate> hashtags? The retweet network for recent tweets is comprised mostly of obscure accounts (not candidates/journalists etc) and breaks down into 3 clusters:

• right-wing accounts
• pro-Sanders left-wing accounts
• anti-Sanders left-wing accounts

Back in March 2018 we reversed engineered / identified just over 250 Twitter accnts of the 600 Russian influencer accts monitored by the German Marshall Fund at the #Hamilton68 dashboard. Over time we expanede this list and broke them into subcatgories dashboard.securingdemocracy.org Image
Without giving away too much part of the reverse engineering involved an oversight in how the @SecureDemocracy dashboard displayed its trending data. We reverse engineered enough accounts as seed accounts to then grow out the set over time. We are completely independent of @gmfus ImageImage
Fast forward to 2day. We looked at the discussion of candidates within the Kremlin-aligned #Hamilton68 subset of accnts most focused on Russian Geopolitics. This wordcloud in first week of Feb. shows positive support to Bernie Sanders #Bernie2020 #elections2020 #nvcaucus Image

(1/2) RECEIPTS: More proof of just what a flat out lie Mike Bloomberg was telling when he said no one asked him about stop-and-frisk until he started running for president. This letter was sent to Bloomberg in 2012 and laid out in chapter and verse how horrendous the program was. ImageImageImage
(2/2) RECEIPTS: It was signed by a former dir. of the ACLU, a past president of the American Sociological Association, a former Atlanta chief of police, a NYS senator, two retired justices of the NYS supreme court, a Harvard professor of sociology and civil rights attorneys... ImageImageImage
This man is not to be trusted. To know that your goals could be achieved constitutionally but to proceed on your unconstitutional and RACIST path, violating the rights of hundreds of thousands of black and brown men and boys was callous and craven. #NeverBloomberg

. @MikeBloomberg ballooned the racially discriminatory, morally indefensible Stop-And-Frisk program in NYC and argued for it endlessly. At its height, NYPD was stopping twice as many young black/Brown men as there WERE black/brown men. #NEVERbloomberg mobile.nytimes.com/2011/03/19/opi…
This meant that many of these young men were being stopped and frisked multiple times a year. But about 1-in-10 was ever charged with anything, and often that charge was for having a small amount of marijuana.
No legitimate policy has a 90 percent failure rate. None! This was a pattern of racism discrimination championed by @MikeBloomberg. I will punch a hole in my keyboard before I stop writing about what Bloomberg did. #NEVERbloomberg
