    Let's not forget...Pew Research found that of the fewer than 50 million US adults on Twitter only 6% of those Twitter users account for 73% of tweets about national politics. That means fewer than 1% of Americans are frequently weighing in about politics on this platform.

        And those folks tend to be the most ideologically polarized on both ends--with 55% identifying as either “very liberal” or “very conservative.”

        This isn't anything new. In any internet forum, going all the way back to Usenet, the overwhelming subscribers lurk with only a very small minority contributing in any real manner.

        Yeah, but those 1% include all the opinion writers, most professors, celebrities, politicians... So while this may not reflect the population, it definitely reflects the political and thought leadership

        And eventually, the rest follow. So this seems more like a preview than an extreme
