@cpragman @daringfireball Would rather see them talked about and have the folks still there get a steady stream of reminders why they shouldn't be.

Same reason people need to talk about Ramaswamy - both the candidate and the social platform are significant threats to small-d democracy, and to everything America has always stood for.

@_ @cpragman @daringfireball exactly this. Also Twitter is still the most frequented micro blogging website, so of course it’s still news.
