It's about the mundane in a lot of cases.

It's about fixing the potholes.

It's about responding appropriately to fire conditions or a snowstorm.

These local issues matter.

And the way Democrats govern locally matters even on a national level.

Because if you see shitty leadership on a local level, you're going to think the same of Democrats on a federal level.

yeah i mean look i just think that there's a lot of rot in both parties right now i think one party is more dangerous than the other when it comes to civil liberties and our constitutional rights there's no question about that um so it's part of the reason why you know in election after election it's

pick the lesser of two evils.

But I want to break out of that.

I really want to break out of that.

I want to break out of this like, oh, God, you know, you have the establishment Democrats, you have the DNC essentially manipulating the most important part of the election process, which is the primaries.

The primaries is where you get to decide who best represents you and what you want to see happen in this country.

I think the polling indicated that that was the case.

A lot of people who wanted Bernie for the Democratic nominee switched over and unfortunately voted for Trump.

That is true.

But rather than maybe learn a lesson from that, the DNC decided to use that and weaponize that to demonize the progressive left.
