If politicians want to get their message out then the more eyes who can see it the better. X/Twitter gets those messages out to more eyes. Most people aren't involved in political activity like you or involved in any politics specific social media. Getting the message out to them is more important then it is to get it to you. They aren't catering to you, they are catering the average voter who doesn't pay attention to political websites, doesn't watch political news shows, and doesn't read any political commentary.

That bugs me as well, we are the Democratic party, and the word Democrat was created as a slur against Democratic.
