I don't think that's historical.
matched
I guess I'm saying polling would tell you that Democrats' view of their own party is reaching lower numbers than ever.
matched
That's why you used the word historic.
matched
And I'm saying, why do we think that is?
matched
Because we've allowed you all to brand us.
matched
It's media branding?
matched
Yes.
matched
Isn't that like a convenient way to say it's not the politicians?
matched
Let me ask you a different way.
matched
Is it your opinion that Democratic Party leadership is not the main cause of the reason why voters trust their individual leaders less?
matched
You're saying that is a media problem, not necessarily the actions of Democratic Party leadership.
matched
That's what you're saying.
matched
It might be because the Democratic Party hasn't delivered.
matched
Like, it might be because the layers of investment in neoliberal Democratic politics has not changed their communities, right?
matched
Like, couldn't they be voting not just for Republicans but against Democrats?
matched
Well, don't vote at all.
matched
Isn't that what you said?
matched
I guess I wanted to say that I feel like when we talk to a lot of the Democratic base, we hear a desire for accountability from their own leadership, a leadership they feel like has not delivered, a leadership they feel like made some political stumbles for Donald Trump to return.
matched
I guess I was asking, do you share any of that and feel that?
matched
No.
