Of what? This?

… and near entirety of democratic congress?

I mean is my claim really so weak it needs evidence to support it? Its not an easily observable phenomenon?

Shrug. Pete Buttigieg went on Fox News all the time over the past 5-6 years even though I thought and think they’re propagandists and a threat to our country. I think his rationale for doing it was sensible.

I agree with what Buttigieg is doing, but I don’t think it's the same at all - coming to a hostile interview requires that overcoming adversity and displaying certain bravery.

To continue having an account on twitter really doesn’t. I would even say it’s quite the opposite - to abandon your lived-in account and all its followers on a network that serves financial interests of your opponents - would actually be a more principled stand.
