honestly if there is any single idea i could get people to understand it is this one. or to put it differently, the same features of the american party system that allows a mamdani to win a prize like the NYC mayoral primary also makes any top down control or disciplining very difficult
Yeah, despite popular ideas of the "powerful" 2-party system, US parties are weak! Their strongest power is their ability to merely /conduct/ primary elections, but have much less ability in steering who front-runs or wins those elections.

I play bar trivia with a few other dads, and one of them loves Interstellar and was planning to go to an IMAX screening. He hadn't heard of this book, though, and was giddy to find out about it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sci...
