This "researcher" is running a random word recognition algorithm that doesn't understand what it's reading or the context (tweets specifically are highly context sensitive - and he says he's evaluating each one). When he does, it assigns what is essentially a random number, and he's using that to judge whether the test is "positive" or "negative".

The fact that he's so proud of his python parser and doesn't even go into any detail about his model, shows right away that he's way out of his league. Almost certainly trying to find the result he wants.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
