You choose which fights you take on, when you take them on, how you fight them.
In politics, it's like you're standing on a ball.
And what you have to realize is that there's maybe like 10 things that you have to do, but there's a potential cost to taking on each one that might destabilize you.
You fall off the ball, and then you lose your opportunity to pursue those.
You have to always be
kind of marking everything to market and going through your calculations to make sure you can accomplish what you want to without falling off the ball and losing your opportunity to make a difference.
Just doing good by others, I feel like, is a... I'd like to say that's true, Lex.
I think...
It's just way more complicated.
I mean, you look what happened this week with Kevin McCarthy, right?
He did what he thought was morally right.
He thought, you know, he did a bipartisan deal.
He was told that, you know, they would have his back.
And then the moment things got tough, they cut him loose.
So, again, I don't know if that was the right thing or the wrong thing, right?
I've also seen leaders on the other end say, I'm going to do things that are short-term or selfish, right?
But the way they justify to themselves is to say, I believe that myself staying in power is existential to the greater good.
So I will do things that maybe are not in the greater good now because I believe that my maintaining power is.
And so it's complicated.
In an idealized world, I'd love to believe that's the case, but it's just way more complicated than that.
