I just...
I do think that, like, some of the emotion around this race both comes to the stakes of it, where people, like, obviously, if we do not win Maine or a state like it, we will not hold the Senate.
It will be devastating for generations.
And the sense that, especially for people who really believed in him, it's a sense of betrayal, of grief, of, like, I thought I had a politician I could get excited about, and he disappointed me and broke my heart.
And so I have some amount of empathy for the high feelings on all sides of this, but also...
The task now is to win and to make sure we don't make this mistake again.
I think voters are hungry for someone offering them a solution to their problems, especially young people who cannot afford to buy a house, cannot afford childcare, are stuck with student loan debt, feel like they have no agency in their lives.
They are looking to gambling or crypto or whatever it is, because at the very least, that feels like something you might have some control over.
They are pissed.
They are frustrated with the status quo.
And DSA candidates are saying, here's a solution.
They are offering an alternative.
The establishment or the center or the old guard could also do the same.
And I think it is telling to me that they are not putting forward like a vision for what else could be possible.
The fact that Mamdani was able to speak to the, not just the anxiety that people feel about their economic situation, but also how they feel about what their life might hold.
It wasn't just afford to live, it was afford to dream.
It was afford to be able to imagine a better future for yourself.
I think also DSA has built some organizing muscle in a lot of these places, which should not be underrated.
And their candidates are selling something.
That matters.
