And if you're a working class voter, you know, white, black, Asian, Hispanic, et cetera, you're starting to see in the numbers that people do not feel as at home in the democratic party. It's still not obviously across the board and the Democrats still win a majority of votes of people of color and women and all these things. But

It's clear that the Democrats have lost this connection to being unassailably the party of the working class. And... Sometimes that has to do with policy and raising the minimum wage. And sometimes it just has to do with a vibe of feeling snobby or feeling like you're always being second guessed or you're always being fact checked.

I guess my sort of like really rudimentary rubric on this would be it's not, you know, how many celebrities can you line up on your side? It has more to do with kind of. What does it signify? And to your point about identity, showing up at a UFC fight is not just a random room with a lot of people in it. It's about brutal combat. It's sending a very, very specific message.

media, new media, social media angle, it's not always can you get the biggest celebrity because often that doesn't have the spontaneity, the authenticity, the feeling of, you know, this is really what people are like in a room.

I mean, the sort of viral behind-the-scenes moment that was working, as far as I could tell, the best for Kamala Harris was... I think I do. Yes.
