Yeah, no, you're right.

Exactly.

Absolutely.

Rhetoric.

And then, you know, Sanders and AOC had their like anti-oligarchy tour, which I mean, we don't need to like debate like the use of like that term.

But no, there is a huge frustration at the geriatric Democratic Party.

And this sort of populist rhetoric is very popular among young people.

As it has been since the Sanders campaign in 2016.

This isn't new or revolutionary information.

The fact that this guy has gotten to this point, has gotten either past scandals or is navigating through it, despite his very questionable background in military and military-private contracting, his misogynistic Reddit posts, which were unearthed as an attack against him, which I think he actually handled

that scandal fairly well, using it as a parallel to chart his own political journey.

So yeah, I can understand why a whole bunch of young people who are reading about this aren't going to actually care at all about any of these stories and still vote for him because of what he's saying.

Yeah, and I want to be clear, I didn't bring this up because I think it's bad, even that young people are still supporting him.

I think this is something that people, especially in the Democratic Party, who care about winning, and I think it's people on the left who are trying to look at what can we do to get...

more progressive and combative candidates who are going to do something both about the right and about the billionaire class.

What can we do to actually like win?

You should be paying attention to this because this rhetoric works.

And because surely there's one other guy who can say these things.

There's got to be another guy without a Nazi tattoo who can say this stuff, right?

Surely we can find one person who can use rhetoric, is good on camera, and has not had a Totenkopf tattooed on their chest for almost 20 years.
