I think what's really unhealthy is when people are dropping out of political participation because they don't feel attached to either party. So they're sort of saying, well, I'm apolitical. And what we want to say to independents is if neither of those parties are for you, that's fine. But like come in and express your opinion at the ballot box. They swing vote. Right. They split ticket.

We need that kind of political participation because they're saying what matters most is not my tribe.

But like when we assume that the other side votes the way they do because they are bigoted or snowflakes or whatever, we're just not understanding each other. We can't govern like that.
