I hear about Supreme Court term limits increasingly more.

And it just feels like one of those things that comes up from the bottom that you rarely hear from the elected official lane.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't think I've talked to a Californian who just feels heard.

Right?

I guess I want to ask them, what is there like a hopeful democracy spot of joy?

I mean, here in New York, I think ranked choice voting certainly like I feel like got some good reviews, has invigorated folks into the process.

I think in the mayor's race, you saw different levels of cooperation or things you wouldn't have seen before.

Like to take the California thought, like if the reforms don't lead to greater participation, like what overcomes the malaise?

Yeah, I'm like, you start the clock.

Yeah, yeah, I hear you.

That was an aberration.

You're saying that was the unique period.

And so the nostalgia is actually calling you back to a time that we may look back on as unique rather than the uncomfort of now, which you're saying is more in the normal of the story.

Hey, I love it.

Give us giving us some grace.

This is the perspective my mom always gives me.

She's like, no, you millennials act like your problems are the first problems to ever exist and the biggest problems to exist.

But like, name me a problem free time, you know.

And so I hear Americans were like, this is.
