Think about the next four and a half minutes. How do we get through that?

The next choice. I was reading something today about the next choice you get to make. You have power. We feel very powerless right now. You actually do have power, including if what you need to do right now is not listen to AOC for 52 minutes or not watch Colbert or the political chat shows.

I unfollowed a couple political podcasts today because I think I need to diet, go on a little politics diet. Although I'm a politics junkie, I'm going to keep listening to a lot of them. And people should do what feels right to recharge to get in the fight. Cause there's going to be a fight.

I don't know if there's going to be pussy hats at a women's March, but there's going to be a fight and we have to recharge for it because it's going to be big. And it's not, I'm not saying this to like people weren't already in the fight. Like it feels like we fought so hard.

Yeah, I thought it would be a landslide too. And this time, you know, in 2016, one of the comforts was, well, he lost the popular vote by 3.5 million to Hillary. And if we didn't have an electoral college, he wouldn't be president. this remnant of appeasing slave owners in the South from the 18th century, he wouldn't have won in 2016.

And if that didn't happen in 2016, this wouldn't be happening in 2024. But this time we don't have that security blanket or that comfort, that binky, because it looks like he did win the popular vote and the electoral college election. And there was a landslide in this election, but it wasn't Harris's.

No. I mean, I was listening to the Ezra Klein show today, and he's a genius, and so I'm always believing whatever Ezra tells me after I listen to the Ezra Klein show. Yes, you should.

The trap for Kamala was she couldn't run as the incumbent because she wasn't, but she couldn't run as the change candidate because she was of the administration that was in office, again, during the fallout from COVID, which is one of the things that drive me crazy about the discourse. Yeah.

When you talk to Trumpers, right wingers, everything that happened during COVID under Trump's watch was not his fault. It was a meteor strike. But everything that happened at the beginning of the Biden administration that was the fallout from COVID, well, that's Biden's fault. Trump gets this pass for the meteor strike of COVID that Biden doesn't get and Harris didn't get. And here we are.
