S2 Ep1028: Cory Booker: A National Crisis and a Global Crisis

How did we win the vote in 2017 when tens of millions of Americans were about to lose health care, when we were about to go back to a nation where if you had a preexisting condition, you couldn't get insured, and being a woman was considered a preexisting condition? How did we fight that?

Describing who they are is, in a sense, implicating us because you are not defined by what happens to you or who other people are. You decide how you how you choose to act. And the way we won in 2017 was people realizing they couldn't just condemn the Republicans who weren't working. They needed to stand up and do something to persuade them. Give them pathways to redemption.

Yeah, but how do we get those votes? And I would love to tell you right now that it was my eloquence and persuasive power that I marched into John McCain's office, slammed the door behind me, got up to him with all of my former 6'3", solid 260 pound muscle and got in John McCain's face and intimidated him.

I'd love to tell you some glorious story about how I persuaded John McCain, but it was not me. It wasn't one of the Democrats in the Senate that persuaded John McCain. You know who persuaded John McCain? It was thousands of people from his state coming here and telling their stories.
