But generally, like—

It's more about who's staffing these campaigns, who's sort of in charge of implementing policy more so than like reactiveness to the base.

It's just it sucks.

That's just like the way that liberal democracy functions.

And until we escape that, I don't think you're going to see like decisive power wielded by maybe by the executive to a certain degree, but certainly not by Congress.

Yeah, but I was positive, which is great.

Yeah.

Well, and Tim, I totally agree with you because I don't really buy like the, you know, the idea that's like, OK, well, every election ramps up importance.

I totally agree.

Like 1992, the Republican primary, if Pat Buchanan won, we would have been out of this mess already.

Like we would have mopped this up 30 years ago.

And because this illustrates with the redistricting battle, this illustrates the point that I think Orrin McIntyre made where it's like.

look all a all a democracy is at this point all an election is at this point is simply a census all you're doing is just counting what the demographics are of your district there's no like swinging voters anymore and it drives me absolutely like mad that the republicans they're only their only like way they're actually fighting back is like this wholesome chungus like voter drives that you're seeing where they're like i registered 10 000 people at a gas station and it's like sick and then the election comes along we get blown out and it's like

Like, what are we doing?

The only way we're actually going to compete again is like returning what the Democrats are actually doing, which is again, you're shoring up your vote.

It's like, it's great, you got a bunch of people registered, but it's like, they're not turning out if Trump's not on the ballot.

And also again, they'll just redistrict you out of existence.

I mean, there's a show that Republicans have no idea what time it is.

There's literally a state senator in Indiana.

His name was Mike something along those lines.
