You accused some leftists at being obsessed with presidential elections and not working at the state local level.

And I think it's a ridiculous fiction.

And I've heard it so many times.

It's absurd.

It is 2024.

There is a presidential election this year.

I've had this argument so many times this podcast.

I don't know what to do.

We'll spend three years in between.

I do hundreds of episodes every year talking about everything

under the sun, the environment, labor issues, everything else. How can we organize? I have people on

and I beg them to give people specifics, places to go, organizations to join, places to donate.

I don't know what else to do. But if I mention in the context of organizing the fact that in 10 months, like it or not, there is going to be a political election, that 90% of news coverage this year is going to be focused on that election and that there are quite obviously opportunities to advance the interests of the left in the context of that political and media cycle,

you're suddenly accused of being obsessed with only presidential elections.

It's ridiculous.

You cannot have a conversation about the fact.

You know what?

You know what?

I actually think we should probably bring this discussion in for Atlanta.

Okay.

Because see, here's the deal. Don't caricaturize Atlanta. Okay. See, here's, here's the deal.

Don't caricaturize me.
