And what have they gotten?

The Democrats have won the presidency seven out of the nine presidential elections, a popular vote.

They've won.

But you get a Supreme Court that is six three on the Republican side.

And that is like overturning Roe v. Wade is overturning civil rights.

So people like on the Democratic side are seeing like, you know, we've been the good soldiers.

They actually have come up.

Democratic Party voters have come out and voted.

And like, you know, the actual popular vote.

For the better part, you know, like of this century, the Democrats have done well, but they have not been rewarded.

And I think that also is sort of fueling a lot of this anger, along with like everything associated with the Biden presidency.

The fact that he seemed to have indicated he's going to be one term, you know, in ambiguous ways.

And then, you know, like round again, Biden.

despite what the voters wanted, and also, you know, was doing a lot of stuff with, I mean, the other elephant in the room is Gaza, right?

Yes.

Taking a policy that was, like, wildly unpopular.

So, yes, the Democratic Party base is very angry.

And people, like, often analogize that to, this is the Tea Party moment.

But as against the Tea Party, which had, you know, had a grassroots base, but was also, like...

strongly directed by the Koch brothers and by, like, you know, the plutocrats, this is an actual grassroots, like, anger.
