The system is rigged.
He was just saying it for effect.
He wants to rig the system.
We need to be the ones who are standing up against, well, corporate elite who are trying to take advantage of people who are poor and working class and middle class.
We need to be the party that's saying that the wealthiest people in the country should step up and pay more than your average nurse or someone who's working at McDonald's.
I mean, we need to be the party that's forcing a discussion about universal health care.
You know, this is upsetting.
I'm sorry to go on and on.
But no, I love it.
Hitting on here is, you know, I was upset in twenty twenty four.
Two things really upset me.
A lot of things, actually.
But I remember particular moments for this.
In January, you may recall, I think it was in January of 2024, Joe Biden did a speech at Valley Forge about democracy.
And I remember I got invited as a Democrat, as a governor, to go to Valley Forge for him to give that speech because he was trying to make it the theme of his campaign.
Now, you know that I believe in fighting for democracy, but that is not what wins you an election.
