i like to think im not involved in the kind of drama things i see pop up from youtube and even twitter with celeb bloggers or tech people but honestly we have the same kind of stuff in politics/media twitter. we just like to think we're fancier about it.
a post i saw today saying that EVERYBODY knows who elizabeth warren is made me think of this. the number of people outside our world who knows who these people re is so small. people know the president and vice president and maybe the speaker because pelosi's not just another guy
people dont know who most of the people we think of as major players in politics twitter are.
i guarantee they could not pick boehner or ryan out of a lineup
otoh i feel badly when i cant identify a member of congress, especially a democrat. its like seeing a stray member of the justice league i can't place.
