Pod Save America
1128: Graham Platner Isn't Backing Down

We're talking about going after the people who used their wealth and power to change policies.

in the political system to then consolidate more wealth and power.

Pod Save America
1128: Graham Platner Isn't Backing Down

They cheated.

Pod Save America
1128: Graham Platner Isn't Backing Down

And we need to use political power to claw that stuff back.

Pod Save America
1128: Graham Platner Isn't Backing Down

So I think that by becoming the party of representing working folks, we really would be becoming the party of really representing the vast majority of Americans.

And as people begin to realize that this right-wing populism, it's not making things cheaper.

1128: Graham Platner Isn't Backing Down

And it's not reopening hospitals.

1128: Graham Platner Isn't Backing Down

And it's not making your health insurance company any less awful to deal with.

Pod Save America
1128: Graham Platner Isn't Backing Down

That realization will kick in.

Pod Save America
1128: Graham Platner Isn't Backing Down

And we won't get everybody.

Pod Save America
1128: Graham Platner Isn't Backing Down

But I think we will start getting folks back.

Pod Save America
1128: Graham Platner Isn't Backing Down

But we need to be there with open arms.

Pod Save America
1128: Graham Platner Isn't Backing Down

And we need to be there with policies that are very understandable.

Pod Save America
1128: Graham Platner Isn't Backing Down

I mean, I think that's a big one.

Pod Save America
1128: Graham Platner Isn't Backing Down

Well, one is because it needs to be a national policy.

Pod Save America
1128: Graham Platner Isn't Backing Down

Yes.

Pod Save America
1128: Graham Platner Isn't Backing Down

especially small rural states, we don't have the money.

Pod Save America
1128: Graham Platner Isn't Backing Down

I mean, in many ways, we're talking about building a national risk pool.

Pod Save America
1128: Graham Platner Isn't Backing Down

And the more people you have in a risk pool, the more effective your insurance is, which really is what we're talking about here.

Pod Save America
1128: Graham Platner Isn't Backing Down

I'll just use my own experience.
