And part of the message there is we have to have a party that is willing to stand up to capital, that is willing to stand up to organize money, whether it be AIPAC or Big Pharma, the forces that have gotten that have upheld the status quo and helped march us into this fascist moment. matched

So, you know, that's the place where I'm hopeful because, yeah, the Democratic Party, as it stands today, listen, are they vastly better than Republicans? matched

Yes, absolutely. matched

No doubt about it. matched

It gives people some courage to stand in solidarity with one another. matched
