Fox News, and I don't say this often, but a Fox News post said that 87% of Americans believe we ought to have universal background checks.
Even though there's enough agreement on the left and the right to get that done, why is it that we can't get a vote on that in Congress?
It's because of special interests.
It's because of the well-connected
They increasingly own our politics.
They're squeezing the voices of the people out of their own house.
And that's why I fight so passionately.
And I began my book actually talking about voting rights, because democracy is not just one issue alongside other issues.
It's the context in which we get to fight for health care that is affordable, that will keep us well and our families well.
It's the context in which we get to fight for a livable wage and the ability to retire with dignity.
And what I observe as somebody who's been engaged in this fight for years, to the degree that we don't have these things, it's not because of a poverty of resources.
It's a poverty of moral imagination.
And what we've got to do is begin to dream big again.
We cannot allow demagogues and those who are trying to move well from the bottom to the top to believe that
that we can't afford a better life for everyday Americans.
We can't.
Well, let me be very clear.
Democrats cannot afford to unilaterally disarm.
Since we're in this fight around gerrymandering, it would be malpractice for us to allow the Republicans to engage in gerrymandering in the rabid way in which they've been doing it and not respond in kind.
So I support what California did.
