I've never been more lonely.
I've never been more unfulfilled.
And it was only after moving back to my hometown, quite honestly, getting very engaged in my community and then being willing to start like opening up to people and making myself vulnerable, that resulted in a level of fulfillment and happiness that I never could have imagined.
And that really got me to where I've been for the past few years, which has been living a very, very pleasant life.
You were both shaped by these wars, but you sort of channeled that in very different- Secretary Hegseth and I also have very different backgrounds in combat, so I'll just leave it at that.
I think because, in many ways, it's just because I believe.
Like, I believe in the necessity of building movement politics again in this country.
I believe that the legacies of things like the women's suffrage movement, the labor movement, of the civil rights movement, that is, to me...
the blueprint for what we need to be doing now.
Really kind of re-engaging people in a small d democratic fashion.
Not something that's controlled from above, but something that really pushes power down and allows people to organize and build that power together.
That's the core of my politics.
That's what this campaign is.
It's not a tactic for me.
This isn't like, I'm not like, oh, we'll do this and this is the best way to win electorally.
This is my politics.
Like what we are doing embodies what I believe and what I think we have to be.
The policies I put out, I'm not putting them out because we focus group tested them.
People aren't idiots.
People know what's going on.
