I see this as a terminally-online thing personally. The folks who walk the walk at a local level don't tend to spend the time arguing with folks about it on Twitter because they've got real outlets for political action. Therefore, their reach is far lower - if you're not in that local community, you probably wouldn't know they exist at all.

A lot of the most annoying castigating on Twitter imo comes from people who are overwhelmed by big problems, or are genuinely marginalized/traumatized in some way, but don't have an outlet IRL to take action and therefore the Internet takes its place. It's formed like an attempt at online political action, but really it's venting. And considering that social media platforms are incentivized to widely spread ideas that make people angry - because that boosts engagement - it's worth considering their reach online is much, much wider than people posting about measures on their local ballots, or organizing locally, etc.

I think of my friend Val, who teaches self-defense and organizes for collective defense of queer folks and their families. She's just about the most sincere lefty I've ever met, and she's not even remotely online because she has no need to be - her people are around her. I aim to take a page out of that book tbh.
