Go though the titles of posts in this form:

Add up the number of posts that are obviously Anti-Clinton.

Add up the number of posts that are obviously Anti-Sanders.

Compare the numbers and try to deny that "Hillary Hate" is a real thing.

She has the right hating her (trolls exist) and she has a contingent of the left hating on her. One has to really search to find even a single Anti-Sanders post. There are minor numbers of Pro-Clinton and Pro-Sanders posts, some that are none one the above. The majority are Anti-Clinton.

As far as I am concerned, it's too early to pick, they both have pros and cons. I just wish the supporters could be as above board as the candidates.
