@kenwarner in the absence of actual structural reforms to elections ranked choice voting does not actually do much to disrupt the two-party system. neither does nonpartisan gerrymandering or nonpartisan primaries. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

i said that none of the reforms Yang et al are pursuing would make it easier to build third parties and the screenshot you posted is evidence of the point? — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@kenwarner uh, it is a really weird gotcha that simply restates what i said, which is that none of the reforms they’re pursuing would make it easier to form a third party — PolitiTweet.org

@njhochman you are recapitulating a very common mistake, which is to elevate the founders as philosophers but downplay them as practical politicians, when in truth its the latter that gives us more insight into what they thought and believed — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@njhochman your use of jefferson here is also extremely selective. by the time of his presidency jefferson is an enthusiastic booster of immigration to the united states for the simple reason that it’s beneficial to his political party — PolitiTweet.org

@imdawala yes, this is a pervasive problem with how conservatives use the founders/framers. for all intents and purposes jefferson et al stop existing after 1788. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@njhochman but back to jefferson, if we concede that jefferson was wrong about black people then we should question his structurally and logically similar argument about immigrants — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@njhochman this is separate from the fact that american immigration laws, such that they even existed in the early republic period, were extremely permissive — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@njhochman and i’m saying that if you’re taking jefferson’s view as dispositive here then you kind of have to read it in the context of his similar views regarding other ostensibly “foreign” groups. you can’t treat it as separate and apart. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

this is similar in structure to jefferson’s argument, also in Notes, that black people simply cannot be integrated in to the United States as equal citizens. how should we evaluate that claim? — PolitiTweet.org
