Contested edit 2/3/21

[edit]

In regards to the following content from the article:

Todd maintains a fundamental misunderstanding of socialism which he broadcasts through posts on Twitter.

I believe this content is applicable given the subject of the article is a politician and this sentence describes a viewpoint held by them that is verified through the multiple included sources of their tweets. As for the issue of objectivity raised by @65.130.56.77, sourced information should not be removed from the encyclopedia solely on the grounds that it seems biased. While it may be possible to word the sentence more precisely, I do believe it is impartial as it stands, per WP:NPOV. I am not sure why @65.130.56.77 said this sentence is an attempt at immortalization of a personal disagreement with the subject of the article, as the sentence and sources are not about any particular argument; it is about the subject of the article's broader philosophy of government. I encourage further discussion to reach a consensus. —FORMALDUDE(talk) 02:29, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question: wouldn't the sentence constitute WP:SYNTHESIS as written, as it's sourced to his own Twitter posts? He didn't say in his own Tweets that he has a misunderstanding of Socialism, and though the statement may very well be true, I think we need a reliable third-party source specifically supporting that statement (especially on a WP:BLP). ♟♙ (talk) 16:59, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It probably does constitute WP:SYNTHESIS as written. I can appreciate gathering more third-party sources. What do you think of this rephrasing along with the two additional sources?

Weiler maintains a dismissive view of socialism, communism, and other economic systems that he perceives as threatening to American capitalism.
