Because if you're powerful, you will not have to shut off microphones when somebody disagrees with you.
I think we judge our victories by the bad bills we stop. I think that is what we are now. There's 24 members of our caucus, 23 when Johnny Shaw forgets he's a Democrat. And so I think we have to be honest about where we are. And what we have to do is like what we're trying to do when I add committees, build coalitions with their people in their district. That's how...

Advocates we wanted to shout out and uplift were able to defeat that horrible asinine bill that was going to stop undocumented kids from going to school. That was defeated this session. What a powerful victory. The Monsanto Cancer Act, whatever they want to call it, that was defeated this year. You know, there are bad bills stopping.

And so I'm not willing to silence myself in order to pass a symbolic resolution. And so I think we have to realize, too, that our victories can be judged based off of the coalitions we're building.
