Kamala Harris is a corporatist. That's her problem.

Not that she's a communist. She's on the other end of the spectrum, right? The idea that Kamala Harris would come into office and say, that's it, there's no more private property.

Her donors would never allow her to get within a billion miles of that. That is so preposterous that when you say something like that, it's disqualifying. Like I can't debate someone who thinks that Democrats are communists when they're actually largely corporatists. You see what I'm saying?

Okay. So here, let me give you an example so you see what I'm saying. So if you just wanted votes... you would do a lot of what Tim walls did. Okay.
