@aral It is very much necessary to reach people who won't engage and even people who don't want to be reached with political messages. This is because disinterested and badly informed people are a majority of voters, and thereby determine the course of any democratic country. In the physical world it's the freedom to distribute leaflets, put up posters in public and make oneself heard with protests. Such low-cost political messaging is needed in the digital world, too.

@aral The problem: There is no more open microphone heard by most of the free world.

The possible alternatives are either explicitly made not to be heard widely like the #fediverse or clones of twitter with the same problems all over again.
