I think, you know, getting rid of APAC money, AI money, crypto money, that's going to be the big fight in the Democratic Party in this election in 2028.

If we can't actually wrest control of this party back from all these influences and have it be a party that actually fights for working people,

then we're hosed.

I mean, then, yeah, like we are going to keep seeing the country go more and more in an authoritarian direction because we're not going to be able to actually make people's lives better.

Yeah, and that's really what this seat is about, right?

This is a deeply progressive seat, a deep blue seat.

I mean, there's a whole history and a legacy in San Francisco of being a seat that really pushes on these issues that kind of sets the tone for the rest of the country.

And so to have someone from this seat who goes to Washington and is totally bought out by the Israel lobby and the corporate lobby, they're going to provide cover for all these other Democrats.

They're going to be the one that's really like setting the tone for what happens in Washington.

And so right now, we're in an election.

And so we're seeing these candidates move their positions and try to say they're better on this issue.

But that's because of the pressure that the election is creating.

So once the candidates get elected, once they're actually Congress, there's no pressure.

The only pressure they're going to face is from the gobs of money that come their way.

So you have to actually vote for somebody who's clear on this issue, who's not going to be bought out, who's been very clear about rejecting APAC money, corporate money, AI money.

And that's what I'm presenting this race.

I really think we are in an existential battle for who

Who's going to control our society?

Who's going to control our future?

Are we going to just hand off control to the Israel lobby, to the AI lobby, to a crypto lobby?
