We literally need to prevent the building from catching on fire in the first place.

And that is America in a nutshell.

Maybe not a building on fire, but a dumpster fire right now.

And we need people that just aren't backed by corporations, who aren't listening to the powerful, who are listening to the people, listening to the people and fighting for them.

Sorry, that was probably a long one.

When I go door to door, people say, okay, just right off the bat, you know, when I knock on their door and

This is the first time they might they might meet me or know me or hear my name.

They say, OK, what's the biggest difference?

And I'm like, well, I'm Bernie Sanders running against Chuck Schumer.

And the last thing that we need in this country is another Democrat who writes strongly worded letters to a tyrant.

Well, I am a, you know, a veteran, an army veteran who's actually out there trying to actually fight the tyrant.

And, um.

You're right, man.

We just need more courage from our politicians these days.

And I'm hopeful.

Like I was telling you before we went on live here, I'm hopeful.

I really am.

Even though we're seeing a rise in authoritarianism in this country, even though it's so hard for so many of us to pay our bills, when I see Zoran win, when I see how well Graham Plattner is doing in Maine, this fills me up with hope because these are true progressives who literally have the people's best interests at heart.

And just here in this district, you know, running against what is arguably the most powerful politician in Maryland, at least one of them, you know, with $2 million in his bank account, of which more than 50% come from special interests, corporations, or big donors.

I'm just this little guy with almost 5,000 individual small contributions, not taking any corporate money, not connected to politics.
