And how do they express their willingness to do the things that a larger subset of Democrats in Congress want?
And, you know, that is going to be a back and forth.
You know, we also have to understand, too, that for the folks we may not prefer in leadership or in office at all, but who are going to be there serving in whatever capacity, for those of us who are there with them, our responsibility between election cycles is holding our own colleagues to account and moving them forward.
towards the moral center, not the political center.
And that is something that people should want their newly elected incumbents to do because
Listen, we have a clear villain here.
It's Trump, it's MAG extremism, it's fascism, it's late stage capitalism, it's any number of things.
But we can't make our colleagues the enemy.
They may be not on the same page with us, but it's our responsibility to make them do better.
And we have seen some progress when we have, not myself quite yet, but others in Congress,
get some of their colleagues to stop taking APAC money.
That's a win.
And we need to respect that.
And we also need to understand that that comes with certain risks for the people who have been funded by folks we don't believe they should be funded by, which also means we need to support them if they are truly understanding of why that dynamic is so problematic.
Yeah, you know, this is challenging for me because I've felt that folks who have been identified as hard-scrabbled, populist, left-of-center white guys get far more leeway than folks like me, Black progressives.
And that's a double standard that is largely based on race, and I think that's a conversation we need to have.
If I had some...
problematic tattoo that related to white folk, I don't think I would be viable, even in the majority black district, because I think the money would not be there for me to run the campaign I needed.
I think there's a clear double standard.
that the left has to talk about as it relates to our racial politics and what is acceptable.
