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.
It became very clear to me, and I think most Democratic voters who are paying attention, that the DNC has no interest in allowing a real Democratic process to play out.
Because in now several primaries, we've had them manipulate the process to the detriment of Democratic voters who want to say over who their preferred candidate is.
So I think that Bernie could have won in 2016.
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.
But rather than maybe learn a lesson from that, the DNC decided to use that and weaponize that to demonize the progressive left.
So I don't really have a lot of hope with the Democratic establishment.
They're gonna keep trying to install mealy-mouthed losers like Hakeem Jeffries or Chuck Schumer.
And we need people like Mamdani who have a clear vision and are willing to fight for that vision, who aren't mealy-mouthed and just have that energy and that charisma that we need in the party.
