baekjesmile.bsky.social @baekjesmile.bsky.social · 19/06/2026So are you arguing that the two party system was cool and good and at some point a cabal of bad people hijacked it? 200
ExPursuedByBear @expursuedbybear.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Well, no not really at all. But it was at least "originally intended" to be cool and good. But it has demonstrably been hijacked, by people or by simply a chain of incentives, or both, the result is the same. 110
baekjesmile.bsky.social @baekjesmile.bsky.social · 20/06/2026And that is where we fundamentally disagree. I do not agree that the difference between it being a chain of events and it being on purpose are similar. Those are extremely different things and the difference matters a lot. 000
