Jack Dorsey being one of the founders certainly has something to do with that, from a UX and UI point of view. Other than that, I don't think is accidental. Also could be some marketing in place and certain "influencers" - of all sorts - pushing the platform online

This is the most positive take I've read on this topic so far. I hope it's true and it's all more circus than it seems, but it's scary tho

I really believe this hole situation is a big opportunity to strengthen our ties within the EU and create a strong bond. And I hope so as well... The German elections this Sunday will be important

A large portion of Americans only have 2 brain cells and they’re both busy fighting for 3rd place

I'll steal this one. That's a marvelous quote

Can I offer you our political system with 6 governments?

I visited New York years ago (2014, I think), but that's nothing like other regions in the States, I imagine. Where I live (Bruges), I sometimes stumble upon American tourists in bars, but due to the nature of the places I visit they're often more open minded.

They don’t look at the possible outcomes, just that “they win”

I think this way of thinking is a big problem in a democratic system. When you vote, you don't "win" or "lose". But maybe I compare this too much to the Belgian system. There's so many political parties to choose from and they have to form a coalition to represent the majority.

Out of curiosity: how do you see the next 4 years evolving? And do you have hope for the next elections?

Throwback to that one time I had one week to write my thesis after doing nothing all year.
