Who knew algorithms had a sense of humor

Twitter algorithms have a malignant sense of humor. In my twitter timeline:

In the first tweet, someone, presumably a Republican or a conservative, is excoriating Republican Senators for using the impeachment hearings as simply a means of raising campaign funds. He wants Senators who fight, not who exploit politics to raise moeny.

Fair enough. An understandable position, particularly if you are a conservative frustrated with GOP swamp critter antics.

But then the goblins of Twitter algorithms immediately follow this tweet with a promoted advertising tweet from the Democrat leading the impeachment effort, Adam Schiff - seeking to raise money from his impeachment campaign.

Is Twitter trying to mock Schiff? Hold up Republicans as nobler in their goals? No, I doubt it.

But the chance juxtaposition does seem to show that the establishment party members of either party are more similar in their behavior to one another, than either are to their constituents, the American people.

The American people expect better from their establishment than they are getting.
