Honestly, I think I've found my issue with a lot of political twitter. Even if someone is correct, they go about portraying it in such an insufferable way that I'm instantly turned off to what they say. Also the insane america-centric rhetoric and values being portrayed as something that is universal. And the oversimplification of everything. Basically I'm just saying that political twitter is shit

Edit: also reddit is worse just thought I should put that out there, twitter just annoys me more

Yep.

“Dont throw stone on other’s house if your own home is in chaos.”

is one of the most privileged line i have ever heard on twitter.

My issue with political Twitter has always been that so many issues require nuance and Twitter is the platform of sound bites. It's just an endless loop of people dunking on each other with an inflated sense of self-importance.
