Yeah, no, well, that's different.

Yeah, no, well, that's different.

Yeah, no, I mean, this is where it's confusing, you know, and we need to get to a place where the solutions that are being discussed are actually good and legitimate. And it'll be interesting to see if the Democrats, you know, like I'm... You know, very bothered by people being like, oh, my God, the Democrats have nobody.
