I find these clusters really strange. For example, this cluster:

> War on Drugs, War on Terror, Fossil Fuels, Drone Strikes, Dark Humor, Military, Police Officers

And

> Yoga, Lower Drinking Age, Gym, Alcohol, TikTok

What does Yoga and Gym have to do with lowering drinking age, or with TikTok? Very weird. So if I create a profile and I am positive towards Yoga and Gym then people are going to think that I want to lower the drinking age? And likewise, they are going to think that just because I support having a military force (which I do), that I also support the war on drugs (which I don’t).

Would be better to not do clustering at all than to group a whole lot of unrelated stuff together and give the wrong impression I think.
