General Discussion

It matters in narrow online political spaces.

We are having this discussion in a narrow online political space. I expect it to matter to some people who dwell in those spaces.

However, with voters who don't live in these spaces (which is most of them), how do you think that poll would go? Do you think if KTVU bounced out and took a poll of California voters, "Do you give a shit about Nina Turner?" those affirmatives would come back with overwhelming numbers? "I'm here reporting live on Market Street, Bob, and there is a rowdy crowd out here with signs shouting, "But Nina Turner!"

No. The vast, vast majority of people will not care.

But the twitterverse will care. Greatly. And it will be discussed ad nauseum. I'll be detailing it in my forthcoming book: Political Navels and How to Spot Them.
