3.9 billion GDP when he came into power in 1986, and now it's 64 billion.
But what no one ever speaks about is the national debt crisis.
They've got around $32 billion in national debt.
And that's the debt that young people are going to inherit.
They also have...
really bad youth unemployment.
I mean, I met a young woman in the voting line in Bobby Wine's Stronghold and polling station who said, you know, I graduated and I can't get a job with my degree.
I don't know what to do.
And her voting for Bobby is...
kind of a vote.
It's not a wasted vote.
It's this whole concept that Bobby keeps saying, protest vote.
You vote out of protest.
She said, you know, we know he's going to win, but will he actually be announced the winner?
I'm voting to ensure that he has won, even if that's not the result that's shared.
So it feels like this was an exercise in agency, even if that doesn't lead to results, tangible results.
And I think Bobby will continue to call people to protest.
I mean, he's just shared that he's not going to dispute the results in court because the judiciary is influenced by...
Museveni and his administration, but he's calling people to protest.
The concern with that is that young people know they're going to get killed.
