“It’s really difficult to, like, watch and think of all the times, like, people who voted for Democrats clamored for things like amnesty for people who have come into this country, for universal healthcare, to codify Roe, to do something about over policing and like, “Yeah, we’ll get to that.” But again, there’s always this argument: “It’s just so unpopular, it’s so difficult.” Let me tell you something. If you codified Roe, you would not see people in the streets like this. If you gave universal healthcare, you would not see people in the streets like this. If you gave people amnesty you would not see people in the streets like this. Now, you would see some people. But not at this scale.”

And I find exhausting the folks who shake their noble manes and declaim the equivalent-to-Republicans toxicity of the Democratic Party, and how they're non-statists or socialists (whatever they mean by socialist: it's an awfully wide-reaching term).
