I don't know what's going to happen in the next hundred years.
I do think that right now, um, the success in some circles of these DSA candidates is
should be a red alert for the Democratic Party in that there are many voters who are extraordinarily disaffected with the party.
They don't want to vote for Republicans.
And there's this other thing that they're finding preferable to the Democratic establishment.
Really important message.
If if you ignore that message and if Democrats ignore that message, it's like the Republicans ignoring the Tea Party in 2010.
We saw what happened.
So that's extremely interesting and relevant.
on the specifics 10 years ago when I would interview DSA people, socialists, et cetera, they would say to me very soberly, they would go, listen, David, I'm a socialist.
You're not, but our next stops on this bus are the same.
And so I see myself as United with you.
If and when we get to social democracy and the things we agree on, we get people health care, etc.
Then the Social Democrats and the bona fide socialists can have an argument about whether we go further or not.
I really respected that.
That was a very interesting conversation to have.
There wasn't a litmus test that was imposed on me as someone who is not a socialist.
That's very different now where I regularly get emails and see comments where people saying you're with us or against us.
It doesn't matter if we agree on universal health care and a few other things.
We believe housing should be government owned and people are assigned a house and blah, blah, blah.
