Honestly, we have spent so much time talking about the Maine primary.

There's a fascinating Michigan primary coming up in a couple months.

There's another primary in Massachusetts, another one in Minnesota.

As you sort of look at – Democrats currently are a party a little bit adrift in terms of what we stand for.

These primaries are supposed to be, I think, a way of trying to figure that out.

What do you see sort of as the major dividing lines in the party that's sort of manifesting itself in the primaries here?

And it could be that the primaries are each individually different, but curious your take on it.

Yeah.

So I think it's that the focus on Texas was interesting because I think it's the least relevant of all of the divides because I sort of see that I see there are sort of three divides that are sort of dominating the party.

One is.

center and left, right?

Every primary has in some way an opportunity to litigate an ideology.

You're going to have a more liberal candidate, a more moderate candidate.

And Tallarico and Crockett were basically – had the exact same positions.

Yeah.

For all intents and purposes.

They were both sort of down the line in terms of what they actually support.

They're kind of like down the line

normie democrats and it's like there are a couple things here and there we talk differently about how yes they wanted to win the electorate their divide was one so yeah yes was a political strategy fight right is it is it fire up the base or is the middle the second divide is um generational right that is that's not a good year mills

That is Seth Moulton and Ed Markey.
