I actually got really involved in my local democratic party a couple years ago. and I kind of relate to some of those folks who were complaining to some of you guys saying oh you could do more or you should talk about this or that. and I'm at the point now where those folks need to get off the couch and go find your local democratic party and just show up. you would be absolutely shocked at how easy it is. You gain credibility really quickly. And just in the two years that I've been doing it, I became a precinct captain which gave me some voting power for my country's leadership. and I'm also my township chair now. So I guess my message is just that there's so much more people could be doing than complaining on Twitter all the time and it's driving me nuts. well you know I'll tell you something. Interestingly, you brought that up. because I think we had a conversation sort of like this yesterday that you know from my perspective and I think I said reformation of the democratic party. Which I mean literally means displacing the leadership and replacing the leadership. And I I you know when you go through like the the the last two weeks of the supreme court was the culmination of sort of it was like you know like that delayed kidney punch type of situation from the election of Trump. and in many respects the depression and the reorientation that had to happen after trump struck again. right? because we are now there. the supreme court has basically announced we're not going to slow-walk this. we're going to in fact you know we're gonna gobble up as much as we can at this point. and and and and and and so I personally like that I am in a period of sort of saying like you know what is the best functioning of the show going forward. at least in this era and this period. I mean it shifts at different times. and it has over you know 12 or 18 years however you want to measure it. and one of the things I think that I've been thinking about is the idea of encouraging people and giving people a sense that they can run locally. and provide those resources.
