Really? I have found Sanders supporters to be the worst especially on Twitter. I see the Yang Gang constantly going out of its way to correct misconceptions. However there are bad actors in all camps and I am sorry you had some bad experiences.

Twitter is irrelevant.

People should stop paying attention to social media and the information overload.

CD is more controlled which is why I like it.

Proportionate to the population its a minor factor.

Its more of an echo chamber for people who want to up to comment on the latest controversy; it doesn't expand society in any meaningful way.

The worst that could happen is being felt left out by not being active on twitter but most of the political news itself is inconsequential garbage to distract people from their daily lives.

I haven't really encountered Bernie Bros on Twitter but i often see them on the comments of Yang's videos on Youtube, Easy to recognize as they immediately try to tout the Fed. Jobs Guarantee lol they must've forgot that Bernie was all for UBI in 2016 - oh how quickly people forget.

Yang wants to accelerate automation to pay off his UBI plan which only increases an individuals consumer power, not their productive capacity.

And all that increased consumer spending goes right back into the market, which is controlled by the richest capital holders.

I could be wrong.

But lying requires knowledge to the contrary, which I don't have.

Awesome! So you're saying that the Fed data, GAO and the smartest of economist are all wrong.
Can you at-least amuse us and provide a shred of data to backup your statement?
