To approximate, 24% of 327 million (US population) is ~79 million people. So around 79 million US persons using Twitter. That's a lot. Their political preferences and overall influence can't be dismissed. But they have to be understood as reflecting a skewed demographic

And I think if you narrowed it to especially "active" users, like daily users, it would drop to something like 10% or less of the population. Whose demographics would probably be even more skewed. Still a lot of people: 33 million! But not reflective of overall population trends

"Active Political Twitter" is an even smaller percentage. Most people on here are following teeny-bopper YouTube influencers, Ariana Grande, guys making weird jokes, and sports stuff

I'm rural, & I'm one of the few who use social media. I read out Twitter posts as they laugh. It is a non-thing...I get moments of interest, but may sign off for weeks. I got things to tend & etc. It doesn't seem like real ppl with real views.

That's still 10% more than vote Bernie. If Twitter were running for President, it's be giving Biden a run for his money.
