And like, they can tell you what makes a good policy, what makes bad policy. They're in government, they're in private sector, they're academics. Right. Like I, that's who I want talking about public policy and sorting it out. Right. With people's input. Right. But as long as we're just focused on what's being said on Twitter, as though that's politics, we're not going to solve these issues.

Well, so one thing that's just come out recently, we just did some polling here at the start of the Trump administration where we asked independents, Republicans and Democrats. We pulled them all and said, what are you expecting to see?

Like that's part of keeping any elected official accountable is like, what do voters expect? Right. And then later on, we'll pull again and say, like, Did you get what you were expecting?

Yeah. And one of the things... Go figure.

Yeah. And one of the things... Go figure.

But one of the things that surprised me was that... Republicans, independents, everybody is looking for bipartisanship. And that's not what either of the parties are selling. Neither one of them are saying, hey, you know what we're planning to do? We're planning to work with the other side.

Right.

And I don't think anybody wants one mono party that's like going out there deciding everything, right? Like that's not going to get us good policy. So what we learned in the survey is that voters are looking for bipartisan behavior and, you know, we're going to go check back in a little, the end of the year and figure out, is that what we see? Is that, is that what voters saw?
