It's a sewer of brainless ideas, for the most part. I don't do twitter. I'll occasionally lift a tweet from an article for commentary or see one that somebody else posts, but if the whole site dissolved tomorrow, all of us would be better off.

I'd say it doesn't really matter much what political beliefs the majority of Twitter users have, as long as there's a sufficient number of users who share your interests.

It's a customizable social media site: You mainly see the bubble you want to see. For instance, I have my work-related bubble on Twitter and political issues rarely pop up at all. Similarly, if you want to keep up to date with news on, I don't know, cell biology, or nuclear fusion, it's quite easy to configure a list for that purpose. And if you want to see only conservative or right-wing opinions, you can create a bubble for that, too.

I dunno. I think Twitter actively tries to pop a lot of the conservative bubble...
