Yeah, I mean, first of all, I would say I get all that and I completely understand the apprehension, the fear that people feel right now, the frustration.
I also think just to level with folks, there is no magic button that senators aren't pushing, right?
They would have pushed it on day one.
And we do have to wield the powers that we have as the minority and the opposition
to limit the damage and try to contain this out of control executive.
But as I look ahead to the midterm elections and think about the generational obligation that we have to win, I think that we as citizens right now
have an obligation to deliver a landslide victory in these midterms that is as profound as any moral obligation any group of citizens has had throughout our country's history.
We have to win these elections.
And there are two things that worry me, because we have the wind in our sails.
I'm holding rallies across Georgia that I barely promote that thousands of people are coming to.
You all remember, you know, I ran in the first big U.S.
House race after Trump was elected the first time.
Then those double-header, double-overtime Senate runoffs for the Senate majority in 2021.
So, like, I have run at...
the most dramatic moments of the Trump era.
No pressure in those races.
And I've never seen opposition energy and determination like I'm seeing right now.
And even all of the angst that's directed at the Democratic Party is actually a good sign in that it shows the passion that people feel to oppose this and to right the ship.
What worries me is that we're a little too in our own heads.
