The political twitter spammers

Twitter these days is an unhappy place with hate speech,racial slurs,personal attacks (this has increased as rabid political parties around the world have found this an idea place to quell freespeech with personal attack and with the twitter stream it is easy to track conversations )

But there are unique political bot spammers. They have 500+ followers? and they spam unrelated hastags (this is who you know they are spammers)


These political spammer pollute city streams with their unrelated political posts
