as an aside, it's interesting to note that nothing in Schmitt's twitter bio nor his website would let you know he's a Republican. Only the usual "rah rah democrats=bad" stuff in his twitter feed let you know what party he's with.
- superchroma 4y agoCan you expand on this point? Personally, as an individual, I would consider it prudent not to advertise such things. Eric, as a politician, can be held to different standards, but, equally, I still see Twitter not as a platform for campaigns, although it is increasingly being used that way. He does have has a Wikipedia page, a website and an entry on Ballotpedia as well detailing his political behavior; it's not that it's hidden per-se.
- slater 4y agoIt just seems odd that a political candidate would not make ANY overt connection to their political party, ESPECIALLY on their own website. And I'd posit that most folks won't go to Ballotpedia.
- TechBro8615 4y agoYeah, I hate it when I accidentally agree with a MAGA Republican. Either you’ve got pronouns in your bio or I’m discarding your opinion until I can be sure you’re not an insurrectionist.
- slater 4y agoYeah, that's totally what just happened.
