| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there internet people, let's go again. So today we're going to talk about two questions, and Arizona, and how Arizona can teach us about why there are Democrats that, well, they really don't seem like |
| 0:17.8 | Democrats. |
| 0:19.6 | They're not progressive, not particularly progressive, they're kind of centrist, some might even call them corporate, |
| 0:25.9 | right? |
| 0:26.9 | Okay, so one of the questions was, hey, why are they're Democrats who aren't progressive? They're supposed to be the |

| 1:48.6 | they're not a fan of hers, right? Because her votes are not progressive in any way. But she didn't get booted out. They're not |
| 2:02.2 | going to waste money going after her. |
| 2:07.0 | Because if she wins, she continues to caucus with the Democratic Party, which is the expectation. |
| 2:13.6 | It's a seat. |
| 2:15.4 | It helps them maintain the majority. |
