And that's something that's fairly new to the Democrat Party, right?
In the past 10 years, it's become an actual issue.
The Democrat Party has overall swung very far left, specifically with younger women, right?
Like Gen Z women, they're very far left.
these ideas were not at all considered by most of the mainstream Democrats 30 years ago.
There's always been a fringe, particularly since the 60s and stuff, but there was a time where you could find a quote-unquote conservative Democrat, and that's just not the case anymore.
Um, I don't know.
I don't know if it's, it's just that at the national level, um, because you see so many people on local, you know, local politics or municipal politics being elected that are very far, far left, right?
You've got Mamdani, you've got the mayor, uh, the mayor of Seattle.
Um, whether or not Karen Bass calls herself a socialist, her policy.
No, I don't think so.
And again, I disagree because, I mean, you've got AOC, who's probably one of the most recognized Democrats, and she's a member of the DSA.
This is really more about the divide in age than it is about whether it's local or federal, right?
There are people...
that are younger, that are seeking office now, that are very openly members of the DSA.
It is worth noting that when you talk to young people, you ask them what socialism is.
They're not mostly Marxist-Leninist, right?
They don't think of—they're not actually communist.
What they're thinking of is they're thinking of, you know, Northern European-style social democracy.
All their money on property.
