I'm trying to think what you propose, I don't think would solve one of the biggest problems as a structural problem, and I think you've talked about this before, is the self-segregation of the constituents into polarized communities. So now there are half as many zip codes in America that have a 50-50 or purple split as there were when I started in politics. Half as many.

So there's been a structural demographic shift that has made this business of democracy much more difficult because the people geographically are so segregated.

That I can I can testify to you that it makes the business of consensus building so much more difficult. And if we can find it, I don't know what you can do about that. But but that has been a real problem. Then we have the threats to voting and Trump and the Republicans do want to restrict the vote. And they're taking so many actions to reduce and make it much more difficult to vote.

There's something like 9 million voters who don't have access. They're citizens, but they don't have access to the first piece of paper that they need, even though everybody knows they're citizens. So that's a threat as well to make it much more difficult. And the fact that we have people standing in lines for hours to vote is insane. So we have all-male voting here.

You do it from your kitchen table. You got two weeks to do it. And we got a high voter participation. I see these people stand in line in the South, and it's 105 degrees, and they made it illegal to give them water. That's how much Republicans hate people when they vote. Okay, this is a threat. And in going all mail voting really makes sense not to make people suffer to vote.

I think there's things we can do. You might have two day voting periods, for instance, if you don't have mail voting. So there's a lot of things we can do to make it easier to have access. But we need some work. But the first is to have the first. The first is to expect the president. to follow the damn law. That's the first thing that we need.

Yeah, you know, the thing that this experiment in democracy, it is a blessing and it is unique. It's a miracle they pulled it off back in the 18th century. And here we are at risk in relatively prosperous times and relatively peaceful times to think abandoning this because of one narcissistic sociopath is disturbing. That's why I hope anybody listening to this show will find a way
