What did the Democratic Party do at that particular time?
We ended up bailing out the banks instead of the people that were going through the housing crisis.
Like Michigan, in particular the city of Detroit in my district, we had the largest home ownership rate, 82% at the time in the early 2000s, out of any city in America.
And now we're plummeting.
Now we're a majority renter city right now.
Because of the policies back then, the Democratic establishment decided to bail out the corporations instead of the people that needed those resources the most.
Another thing, what happened with the George Floyd movement and the Black Lives Matter, right?
The George Floyd Justice and Policing Act.
We had two black men in the U.S.
Senate
Trying to figure out how to hash out a deal with that legislation.
You had Tim Scott, Republican out of South Carolina, Cory Booker, a Democrat out of New Jersey, discussing and trying to figure out how to make it happen.
But to no avail, they couldn't get it done.
And that let down a lot of black people.
and particularly a lot of people of color and young people, millennials especially, to not necessarily be hopeful in the democratic process and into politics.
Another thing that let us down, and just recently happened, the Voting Rights Act, the overturning of the Voting Rights Act,
How the Supreme Court just got it just a few weeks ago.
And under Democratic leadership, under Biden, we could have got the John Lewis Voting Rights and Advancement Act done, but just couldn't.
And so where are we meeting the moment in terms of Democratic Party?
We're tired of the establishment.
