We have to have a vision for the future of this country.
And I think that many of my colleagues in the Democratic Party have not had that vision.
And what that means is that we should not accept the fact that we have so much income and wealth inequality, that you got one guy, Mr. Musk, owning more wealth than the bottom 52% of the American people, that we have a corrupt campaign finance system that allows billionaires in both parties to determine who wins and who loses elections.
And the vision has got to be, and I want people to think about this,
In this extraordinarily great country, wealthy country, why don't we guarantee health care to every man, woman, and child at the end of life?
And it's a conscious decision.
I mean, look.
It's my GPS.
I'm near right.
Look, and a lot of that gets back to money.
Basically, if you're a political party, you've got to make a decision.
Do you go where the money is, where the billionaires are, where the super PACs are, and kind of do what these guys want?
Or do you go where the working class and the middle class of this country are?
And those are people who are hurting, who want real change.
Now, I'll give Donald Trump, he may be crazy, he may be a pathological liar, but he's not stupid.
It's classic.
But what I mean by that is the message that he gives off in one way or another is the system is broken, right?
Yes.
And I alone can fix the system.
Well, the truth is the system is broken.
