> His problem with Facebook/Tiwtter is perceived liberal bias

This seems to be because they live in a bubble where everyone agrees with them. But when they look at the real world they do not see the same. giving them the perception of bias, but there is none. They simply have an unpopular opinion.

Twitter is a bubble. In the public at large, Trump still polls at a better than 40% approval rating and Joe Biden easily beat Twitter darlings like Warren and Sanders.

> Joe Biden easily beat Twitter darlings like Warren and Sanders.

It's worth asking whether Biden's popularity relative to Warren and Sanders is actually an artefact of an under-use of preferential/ranked voting systems for polls and primaries.

To pick an example from last September[0], Warren and Sanders had 19.7% and 17.1% support, respectively, while Biden had 29.6%. That's not to say that Warren or Sanders would have had twice as much support if the other had ended their candidacy then, but it does cast doubt on the claim that Biden "easily beat" them.

Even if I grant 100% of your argument, nowhere near 29.6% of Twitter expressed support for Biden as their first choice.

Twitter is not representative of the general electorate.

So is Missouri's GOP.
