since 2018, there's DSA officials in Ohio, Kentucky, Georgia.
Like it's really not.
And those are, you know, blue cities in red states.
But I think that is something that people don't necessarily know.
That's like a very
salient counterpoint to this idea that this can only happen in a place like New York because it clearly has happened in other places.
That's not to say they're winning statewide races in states like Georgia or Kentucky.
Right.
Right.
Yeah, I would also add, I think a big piece of this is, you know, many of these candidates have campaigned on getting big money out of politics and rejecting corporate PAC money, which has propped up both the Democratic and the Republican Party for a very long time.
And, you know, I think some Democrats are looking around and saying, OK, well, if I have to give up all my big dollar donors, who am I going to get money from?
Like, I think seeing that politics being done in that real way
you know, shoe leather, getting out and talking to voters and earning their vote, that that's working.
I think that scares a lot of people who have not had to do that in a very long time.
Well, I think there's a valid criticism, you know, against some of these candidates that the policies that they're campaigning on don't pass if you have a majority of centrist or conservative Democrats, you know, or if you don't have control of the House.
And the argument that they're making is that Democrats in power have abided the status quo and doing the bare minimum for so long.
And that's the reason that they're losing voters.
And that's the reason that we got someone like Donald Trump, who, despite the lies and, you know, self-enrichment and...
I could go on and on, but like he's doing things right.
And Democrats don't see their leaders doing anything.
