Heading into #DemDebate3, @AndrewYang is the most frequently discussed candidate over on 4chan, followed by @JoeBiden, @BernieSanders, and @ewarren. In fifth place is @TulsiGabbard, whose absence has apparently inspired displeasure. #ASeriesOfUn4chanateEvents

@AndrewYang @JoeBiden @BernieSanders @ewarren @TulsiGabbard @ZellaQuixote As on 4chan, so it goes on Twitter. Andrew Yang was the most frequently mentioned candidate (by name or Twitter handle) in tweets containing #DemDebate or #DemDebate3 during the debate and in the 10 days prior.

(Chart is zoomed to the timespan with the majority of the tweets.)

@AndrewYang @JoeBiden @BernieSanders @ewarren @TulsiGabbard @ZellaQuixote We ran VADER sentiment analysis on #DemDebate/#DemDebate3 tweets before/during/after the debate. Positive sentiment in tweets mentioning all candidates but @warren decreased, with @JoeBiden and @BetoORourke showing large declines (pro-NRA accounts may have affected the latter.)

@AndrewYang @JoeBiden @BernieSanders @ewarren @TulsiGabbard @ZellaQuixote @warren @BetoORourke Retweet networks for the #DemDebate/#DemDebate3 tweets mentioning each candidate. @AndrewYang received the most traffic, largely from a tightly-connected cluster of accounts that retweet each other frequently. Right-wing participation consisted of 10K retweets of @w_terrence.

@AndrewYang @JoeBiden @BernieSanders @ewarren @TulsiGabbard @ZellaQuixote @warren @BetoORourke @w_terrence Networks for #DemDebate/#DemDebate3 tweets about @BernieSanders and @JoeBiden (and the rest of the candidates) lack the tightly organized cluster seen in Yang's network. @BernieSanders is arguably the main node of both networks.

@AndrewYang @JoeBiden @BernieSanders @ewarren @TulsiGabbard @ZellaQuixote @warren @BetoORourke @w_terrence #DemDebate/#DemDebate3 networks for @ewarren, @KamalaHarris, and @PeteButtigieg. They follow the same basic scheme:

- main cluster centered on candidate
- RWNJ cluster (featuring @DiamondAndSilk in Harris's case and @realMattCouch in Buttigieg's)
- commentary from @KyleKulinksi

@AndrewYang @JoeBiden @BernieSanders @ewarren @TulsiGabbard @ZellaQuixote @warren @BetoORourke @w_terrence @KamalaHarris @PeteButtigieg @DiamondandSilk @RealMattCouch Next up: #DemDebate/#DemDebate3 tweets mentioning @BetoORourke. The prominent presence of @DLoesch and @NRA in the right-wing cluster is consistent with our earlier hypothesis that the negative sentiment toward O'Rourke was reactions from pro-NRA accounts.

@AndrewYang @JoeBiden @BernieSanders @ewarren @TulsiGabbard @ZellaQuixote @warren @BetoORourke @w_terrence @KamalaHarris @PeteButtigieg @DiamondandSilk @RealMattCouch @DLoesch @NRA Rounding out the set of debate participants, here are networks for #DemDebate/#DemDebate3 tweets about @JulianCastro, @CoryBooker, and @amyklobuchar. Booker is an outlier in terms of right-wing attention due to being trolled by @TrumpWarRoom.
