It's the same if you try to argue politics in a bar. It doesn't mean bars don't provide value in other ways. And although it certainly is anathema to constructive political discussion and debate, I suspect the vast majority of the people tweeting/retweeting/arguing about politics all the time wouldn't sound much smarter or less sucked into the shitstorm if they were using something long-form.
