Yeah, and I'm not, like, I think it's a bit alarmist.

But in the, you know, the joke, you know the joke, John, even paranoid people have enemies.

Look, I, well, I kind of, let me take a step back and tell you how I kind of view this.

I see 2026 and 2028 as a compendium elections.

Yes.

So two things that are underappreciated and I don't see out in the bloodstream.

We went in 06, 30 seats, but we use 07 to set up 08.

In the same way that George Mitchell, going back to 91, and the government budget forces George Bush to sign the tax increase, break his pledge, and sets up Bill Clinton in 92.

Yep.

Oh, so two things that I think are really, really important.

I happen to think the Democrats have good candidates out there.

They have quality candidates.

They've done a good job recruitment where I'm I think there's an there's a twenty twenty seven.

Well, let me back up in twenty twenty six.

I still think they need a six in twenty twenty six.

Because 80% of this is a referendum on the Republicans, but you got to put a little lipstick here.

We're going to do a minimum wage.

We're going to do ratepayers' bill of rights.

We're going to do ethics reform, a change election.
