Inappropriate?Agreed with this. Despite all the MSM and CPD's efforts to lead you otherwise, there are more than two candidates for POTUS. Don't try to be like the MSM, Twitter; you're better than that.

Inappropriate?I'm extremely disappointed with Twitter for this. If you have a section called "All Candidates," it should include ALL candidates. Ralph Nader is on the ballot in 45 states!
Instead of "all candidates", apparently Twitter means "Candidates of the two dominant political parties."

Inappropriate?I'm also wondering why "All Candidates" doesn't include all candidates. Ralph Nader is on Twitter at @votenader.

Inappropriate?I agree! Twitter, this would only require adding a few more filters. This is an easy chance to be more democratic than the mainstream media, as Twitter obviously should be. There is absolutely no legitimate reason why Nader, McKinney, Barr and Baldwin should not be included on the elections page. This really is not asking too much.
I wrote a longer post explaining my reasoning:

To be even more insulting, you added the list of "Featured Profiles" under your "All Candidates" list and it still does not include @votenader.
Whether Twitter likes Nader and the other candidates or not, you cannot sit there and act like they don't exist. They clearly do. To deny their existence is just evil insanity, and I know you don't want to be responsible for that.
I will keep @twitter ing you about this (as I have for weeks). Please, I beg you. Be more responsible than the mainstream press. All I'm asking is for truth and transparency. That's all.
Thank you for reading this.

Inappropriate?Simply including all candidates qualifying for ballot access in at least one state could send a nice message of political inclusion and flex some of Twitter's influence muscles.
There is no reason not to include more candidates. I have to believe that the people who make use of the election tool would be receptive, regardless of how everyone actually votes.

Inappropriate?I agree—I was incredibly disappointed to find only the Rs and Ds represented! What is this...1988?
