And that's the problem, Megan. It's like, if you don't know who you are or you're afraid to say who you are, you can like wave your fist in the air and fight and say you're going to do this and that to resist. But ultimately, no one really finds it convincing because you're not really fighting for anything. You're just fighting for the sake of fighting.

And I don't think I think that's what makes the Democrats kind of pathetic right now in the eyes of most people is that they're just afraid to stand for anything. They're confused about what they stand for, whose interests they serve. They really they're just a mess. And that's the big problem to me.

I mean, think about this, Megan. These people, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, ran for president and vice president as the Democratic nominee just three months ago. And three months later, the vice presidential candidate is getting 1% of the vote among Democrats as to who represents the party.

I haven't looked, but I would be willing to stake a lot on the fact that when somebody becomes the nominee of a major party, even if they lose the election, a few months after that, if you ask people who's the face of the party, a lot of people are going to say that person because it's the obvious choice. But I think Democrats do feel that loser vibe, like they need to do something else.

I think they're embarrassed about themselves and their party, and they should be. And like, even in this, in that clip, like Tim also is like, you know, we have to fight the primal scream of people. We have to fight. But how and for what? And I think when they originally presented Tim Walz, it was like a gift to the left wing of the party, like to the Bernie AOC wing.

But you didn't really see much of that during the campaign because everything that Kamala Harris has always done as vice president, and I think even before senators, what she always, except in that one area that she really knows well, which is criminal law because of her being a prosecutor, Every time she speaks, she feels like she's extremely afraid of saying the wrong thing.

And they infuse that into Tim Walz. And there's a lot of Democratic Party leaders who have that sort of hesitation when they speak. And even the ones who are now trying to say, like, let's fight, let's fight is an easy thing to say. That's still, again, saying we're not Trump. We have to resist what Trump is doing. But what would you be doing? You know, what do you want to see different?

And they still seem just very petrified to say out of fear of offending voters and donors and consultants in the media. And that ultimately is the thing that not political junkies, but just like ordinary citizens who pay some attention to politics, but not constantly. That's the thing they feel more than anything.
