And then I started talking about some progressive solutions I believe in.
And then there'll be, yeah, well, you know, I agree with you on that.
Yeah, that would help me a lot.

And I think the base is yelling for change in the party.
And I think we're seeing it.
I think we're going to see it in 2026.
We've seen a lot of these more populist, progressive candidates come out that are really looking to build a broad coalition around their ideas.
And I think that's going to be the way forward here.
You know, I'll say I'm really this battle that we're in right now.
Last, when was it, March?
I was very, you know, like everybody else, very, very disappointed with the fact that, like, House Democrats stood strong, and then the Senate, they just completely let down, not just us in the Beltway, D.C.
political sense, but the entire nation.
And we know what happened afterwards.
The entire base...
told them Senate leadership and those senators who I think really made the wrong decision, they got held from our base.
And I think that was appropriate and very important.
And it just goes to show that at times when you disagree, we can't have an impact because now we're in lockstep on holding strong right now.
And I think this is really a test, especially on the Senate side, because the House is really standing strong on this.
on if we're able to really stand 10 toes down here.
