So we don't give up on any congressional district or any state legislative district. We won that great state Senate race in Pennsylvania that nobody expected us to win the Wisconsin race. And even in Florida, we were disappointed that we didn't win those two House seats. But we went up 15 or 16 points, which then builds for the future. So no good act is wasted in this process.

And there were some very creative political art representations at that event. When I went out there, they brought up a huge milk carton with Andy Harris's face on it. And I just said, hey, if your name is on the ballot, your face should not be on the milk carton.

Well, let's just say that because we're experiencing an authoritarian, attempted authoritarian takeover of American society, the job has changed, right? There were people on all sides who thought the job is you stay in touch with your constituents and you go and you push a red button or a green button and that's your job. That's not our job anymore. We are organizers.

We are organizers and we've got to be leaders of a nationwide popular movement to arrest the dissent into fascism in America. And we haven't even gotten a chance to talk about Elon Musk and the Silicon Valley people because these people really believe that democracy is defunct. And they say we live in a post-constitutional America.

And, you know, if you if you listen to their intellectual guru, Curtis Yarvin, he did an interview with The New York Times about a month ago where he said the American people have got to get over their fear of the word dictatorship. He said, the corporations are just dictatorships of the CEO.

And just like we have CEOs dictatorships in the private sector, we need to have a dictator for the government. And by the way, that dictator does not serve the people. That dictator serves the other dictators. They're talking about a corporate state. And they're being very unvarnished and explicit about it. So our jobs have changed.

It's not enough just to go and cast our votes and to write a monthly newsletter. We've got to be involved seven days a week in the struggle to defend constitutional democracy in America. And when I say that. I believe constitutional democracy is not just a structure of laws and constitutional principles and practices.

And when I say that. I believe constitutional democracy is not just a structure of laws and constitutional principles and practices.

It is that, but it's more than that because constitutional democracy is always an unfolding and unfinished project. And if we're not moving forward, like Tocqueville warned in democracy in America, we're going to be lapsing back into some other autocratic or monarchical aristocratic form of government. We got to be moving forward. So, um, You know, you got to hand it to Donald Trump.

At least he's talking about Greenland and Canada and Panama. He's not talking about anything democratic. He's talking about taking them over like a dictator. Well, we've got to put on the agenda the millions of disenfranchised people in America. We need statehood for Washington, D.C. We need statehood for Puerto Rico. We need a constitutional amendment guaranteeing everybody a right to vote.

We need to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. We can't be in a constant quicksand struggle against voter suppression tactics. And they're trying it again. for 2026 and 2028, and the SAVE Act, which would conceivably disenfranchise millions of American women, because you've got to show, when you go to the polls now, your birth certificate, your driver's license, or a passport.
