      A quarter of the US population is a lot of people, but it's mostly young college-educated urbanites. So bear that in mind when you see tweets getting "ratio'd"https://twitter.com/pewresearch/status/1132186039546732544 …

      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

          Are you sure? I would think most of the audience for commercial, pop-cultural content is on Instagram and/or Facebook rather than Twitter.

          Lots of twitter people I know are on it to follow stock and financial gurus. Others are casual users. Very few hardcore political followers.

          I share, I joke, occasionally I rant. I fit no demographic well. Polls and ratios are for lockstep, dogmatists. I'm outside the bell shaped curve... But I spread my message to those that will consume it. I hope some get a giggle or insight..

          Look at what those youtube influencers do here in germany https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xpg84NjCr9c … They unequivocally condemn the current climate policies of BOTH major establishment parties (and the far right).
