If that's the best and brightest coming from the other side, seriously, that we should make that case about accountability. And so, yes, and look, I don't deny this. Do I think we're losing elections and folks in the middle doing this? Yeah, I think it's costing votes. But I think, and I say this as a teacher, I always said this, if I would teach a lesson and then I would give a quiz on it.
And half the class would fail it. I didn't assume that half wasn't very smart. What I assumed is is the method that I used to teach hit part of the class but didn't hit another because of their learning styles or whatever it might be. So I want them to learn this geography concept.

I should teach it in three or four or five different ways to make sure I'm as broad as possible that they got the concept on that. I think we teach DEI one way on this instead of being more strategic about how we talk about it, because I don't believe my neighbors think it's a horrible thing to make sure everybody's got a shot to be able to succeed, and that helps all of us.

So, yeah, I think we're not doing a good job with that. I think it is electorally... hurting us, but more importantly, it's hurting real people in their real lives and it's throwing up those systemic barriers that have held us back for generations that I think we're getting at.

Yeah, no, it's tough. I don't want to whiz past the graveyard, but, you know... it's not a cliche. Every generation has to renew the democracy. And again, I will admit it. I would like to live in precedented times. I'm sick of living in unprecedented times. Oh, no governors. I'm sick of that. I want normalcy. I don't want to see these people. But there's also a

an opportunity and a privilege for us to reimagine. And when I got asked the other day, they said, who's the leader of the Democratic Party? I'm like, hell, if I know, I think it's the people who are out there. I think it's the working class, because we are not cultish.

It's pretty clear if you ask a Republican who's the leader of the Republican Party, because they can't say it fast enough, put on their red hat and dance to the tune. We're not going to dance to that tune, but we have a set of shared values. And so I am optimistic.

I run 22 miles a week. I can still run 830 miles pretty casually. So I went running this morning. I put in my contacts. And I think it does make me look less old that I have to get criticized online. My vanity.
