Because we tolerate deadbeat dads, but Democrats can't say anything about any voters that impugns their motives and their good faith because a mom has to love every single one of her children. And so I've been thinking about how do you grapple with that reality? That is a real double standard. We can't pretend that it doesn't exist. Marginalization doesn't stop in politics.

We recognize it exists in our individual lives systemically. It exists in our politics. And so we have to grapple with the world as it is to change it. And I've been thinking about how does a woman successfully push back, you know, navigate a workplace, a world where so often her passion is held against her. And the socially acceptable path

And I've been thinking about how does a woman successfully push back, you know, navigate a workplace, a world where so often her passion is held against her. And the socially acceptable path

for a woman to fight back, unfortunately, is when she is defending her flock, when she is defending her family. And I think we as a party would do well in replicating the strategies that women so have to employ to successfully navigate this world.

And instead of fighting back in a way that makes Trump the main character, fight back in a way that makes consistently our constituents, individual people, human beings the main character, Trump can be a supporting character. But we do fall in this trap of making him the main character.

And I think if we always, always, always keep it local, keep it centered on our constituents, on people that we're defending, not only does it allow us to fight back and have that passion in a way that is heard the way we want it to be heard, but I also think it helps to reinforce for a voter the answer to the question that I said at the start, which is, do you care about me? Do you like me?

Because I think people think we don't like them.

Right, right, right. I mean – I mean you are 100 percent right that we want a rules – the rule of law. We want basic common decency and we want a government that provides equality under the law for every person. And even if that weren't true, we would have to grapple with the double standard.

Look, I think. One, as with all of these actions that we're seeing against, whether it's immigrants, whether it's against institutions, right, they are picking on the most unpopular, right, the most vulnerable. They're picking on people who are easy targets. And I do think in this in this instance. Look, I'm talking from a macro level, right?

Like, I think we should be, when we're talking about the attacks of the administration, let's talk about that they're stealing from farmers. Let's not make it Donald Trump. But when we're going in on those issues, when we have to go in on and respond to what is a blatant attempt to silence and intimidate people, I do think you have to go back to what we were talking about before, which is that

This isn't – if they can do it here, they can do it to you. If they can do it here, they can do it anywhere. If they can do it to this institution, they can do it to my constituents. I don't think it's a fundamental change in the fights we pick. I don't think it's a fundamental change in the arguments we're making.
