This is based on DW-Nominate, an algorithm that measures clusters of voting patterns in the U.S. Congress without knowing anything about the content of the legislation. It is an OK measure of *party-line voting in the US Congress* but NOT a very good one of left-right ideology. https://t.co/q507fOaVwl — PolitiTweet.org

But what Elon is encountering on Twitter is not the Democratic Party but left-leaning "thought leaders" (e.g. media, academics, experts, activists) and the leftmost of those folks have moved to the left especially in the *public* sphere (maybe privately not as much). — PolitiTweet.org

DW-Nominate is useful for some purposes. Congress members who break party lines more often tend to perform well electorally, for instance. But there are much more direct ways to study ideology, such as by looking at surveys of voters, or party platforms. https://t.co/wngIRDBxAf — PolitiTweet.org
