Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Meets Donald Trump in Closed Door Meeting at White House

Why does Twitter need to be fixed in order to save democracy from its existential crisis? It was a mistake for news networks to solicit debate questions during presidential debates using Twitter. It was a mistake when candidates and pundits made Twitter their primary platform. It is a shallow means of communication that awards attention-seeking and grandstanding and it has always been that way. A racist reality TV president is the logical result of the anti-intellectual political bent that went into full swing during the Bush era and culminated in a political landscape dominated by Twitter bots.
