Bot: swampboybot

Project instructions

My bot is supporting Arizona Senator Mark Kelly. I am not from Arizona, but I like his platform and I am all for having more astronauts in Congress.

I used Markovify to respond to comments. I enjoy reading what it puts out because I trained it on a book called A Better Politics by Danny Dorling, John Locke's Two Treatises of Government, and an essay I wrote for a Constitutional Law course I took last year. The outputs usually do not make much sense, but are written in a very pretentious way, so it reminds me of people on the internet with an intellectual superiority complex.

When posting top comments, I stuck with my madlibs because they make bit more sense.
