Comparing Presidential candidates by Twitter followers seems vapid and shallow.

Except.

The Dems haven& #39;t run a candidate as popular as Obama since I& #39;ve been alive, and Twitter followers are one measure of that popularity, especially amongst young liberals and leftists. https://twitter.com/donwinslow/status/1300606002207760384">https://twitter.com/donwinslo...

These folks COULD be the base of the Democratic party but they& #39;re afraid of losing the bottom age bracket of Boomers and the more center-leaning Millenials (whom I& #39;m told exist.)

I got a mailer today, because I live in OH, that proclaimed Biden as a Radical Leftist. Pfft.

Biden& #39;s leftism 1) isn& #39;t true but 2) would be welcome. Imagine Biden campaigning not on scary socialism or radical police abolition, but on healthcare for all of us when needed, and a strong stance against violence in our streets, and equality for all Americans.

This thread has no point. American politics were bad enough in the 90s, when I first remember them, and they& #39;ve steadily become more divided, driven hard by a GOP seeking power at any cost, and an opposition party unwilling to take them to the mat.

I dunno. Vote. Get your friends and family to vote. Get strangers to vote, then keep fighting for real change. I hope it works, and if not I& #39;ll try to support my friends in the street fighting hard.
