I think the next Democratic president has to be, not just president, next presidential candidate.
The 2028 Democratic primaries have to showcase a group of politicians who are running for office
to not just fix things, not just offer a bright new future, not just running on a change platform, but are running on a platform to prosecute and punish the people who broke the law, destroyed our country, destroyed our democratic fabric, destroyed society.
I mean, turned people against one.
What we saw over Christmas,
with the Somali fraud nonsense, the video from this right wing YouTuber that went viral, all these people jumping on attacking the Somali community.
That is all engineered by people like Elon Musk.
The algorithm does that.
And I think I said this recently to Jon Favreau on Twitter.
I said, maybe I'm only half I'm only half joking when I say this, which is the next Democratic president should run on a plan to prosecute Elon Musk.
That would I mean, they would easily go to the top.
of the pack.
They would immediately go to the top of the polls in the Democratic race.
The first Democrat comes out and says, my first act as president is to prosecute Elon Musk.
Now, people will say, oh, you're politicizing.
That ship has sailed.
That ship has sailed.
The Republicans have no grounds to bring that up.
And any Democrat who brings it up, they're living in the wrong world.
There has to be accountability.
