I understand you feel that way, but unfortunately the political spectrum has gotten too large and too dumb for me to tolerate it any more. I'm a centre leftist who thinks for himself and comes to right wing conclusions here and there. But when a non-trival number of people hold such obviously hostile or ill thought out opinions I'm going to filter them away. Twitter should let people have their likes as likes instead of making them a soft retweet based on data science, or at least let us mute it on a case-by-case basis.

For me it is even more than this. I don't care about people's politics on literally any level. I don't hold strong beliefs either way on anything. If I want to think about politics I will read an old political science book. There isn't even any discussion of politics on twitter anyway. It is a weird type of recreational negative infotainment. I really want to make a profile that I don't delete in a few days but it is impossible. The platform is basically unusable unless one thinks starting the day off with a flood of negativity is a good idea.
