The hashtag that I chose to analyze the views associated with it was #FeelTheBern. This is the hashtag that twitter users employ for content that is associated with presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. During the time that I was curating tweets with this hashtag, the march for Bernie Sanders was taking place in New York City; therefore, most of the tweets I embedded reflect the march. Majority of the tweets with this hashtag were from supporters of Bernie Sanders promoting the march and voicing for others to come join them. However, other tweets with this hashtag used this hashtags to inform supporters of things that they did not like about Sanders using statistics and controversial statements said by Sanders.
