We for so long see us getting to the five yard line and then something happens where we don't get there.

Kyrsten Sinema gives a thumbs down for the minimum wage vote, for example.

So a lot of it is just actually recognizing that when our elected officials are in office, they are not in office to defend the institutions, they're in office to deliver on outcomes.

And somewhere along the line, I don't know whether it's like DC brain rot has set in,

where these people feel like they're there to make sure that they can prop up these norms and traditions, and they forget about the people who sent them there and why they sent them there.

Now, you can also make the argument that

The same thing is happening on the right, that there is obviously no instance of or evidence that the right is delivering for their constituents.

But the reason being is not norms and traditions.

The reason being is that they had no intention of actually delivering.

I mean, Trump had had offered up kind of a smorgasbord of promises to his supporters from lowering costs and releasing the Epstein files and preventing foreign wars and

Now we're in a situation where costs are higher, the Epstein files are still suppressed, and we're engaged in a brand new war in the Middle East for four months.

They never had any intention of delivering on those things.

That's the difference.

Democrats, while they may be well-intentioned, will let any speed bump block them, and that's what I'm trying to argue against.

Totally.

I mean, look, that is the North Star of this book.

That's why I'm trying to have this debate now.

If we're lucky enough to get power, if we're lucky enough to have the House, the Senate, and the White House, that's already a Herculean feat unto itself.

We see how infrequent we have those opportunities.

more often it's, you know, even if we're lucky enough to win the White House, then we have one or no chambers of Congress.
