That's going to be a big problem.
What'd you say, Tim?
Let's go find some property in Florida.
I mean...
Anyways, I like Florida person, but anyways.
But yeah, look, the point that I'm making is the people that have money that have historically given to Democrats and to Democrat causes, they're not gonna give to the progressives, people like Cassandra Piker, people like the squad.
You saw a slew of very progressive candidates in Illinois get trounced.
Because the American people do not like these policies.
There is a small vocal minority that is motivated by hatred of people that have done better than them, that think that the world is worse off because of billionaires, think that the reason that their life is not as good as they believe it should be is because some billionaire somewhere has stolen money or whatever crazy person BS they imagine.
Everybody is a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.
So, yeah, I just don't think that these policies are going to be popular.
I don't think people like Hassan.
I think it's it's good for the Democrats as a brand to try to push people like Hassan Piker away.
I saw Jacobin had written a piece on Piker and how the people in the Democrats are saying, oh, you got to get away from this guy and stuff.
And they're saying, oh, well, you know, they just don't understand him or whatever.
And it's like, no, they have a pretty good idea of what kind of policies this guy.
I mean, he's an anchor baby to start off with.
He was born in New Jersey.
Then he went to Turkey and rode horses on his family's, you know, because I think his uncle's a billionaire.
His family's rich, right?
