You know, when she's talking about first term, you know, they wanted us to be single term.

0:05.2

I am of a mind that part of the reason why we are not seeing any significant change is because

0:12.2

folks are trying so hard to just keep coming back. They're not willing to lose the seat,

0:18.2

you know, to do the thing that pushes the envelope that may end up pushing them out. And it becomes where they're all just trying to stay on the team. They're trying to get drafted and stay on the team. What can I do to stay on the team? I'll switch positions, you know, I'll do this, I'll do that. Remember when she was crying about the Iron Dome, it's like like that was you switching positions to stay on the team, Mama.

And no matter how many podcasts, AOC goes on to show that she's down with the people, you know, and she's in the streets.

1:13.2

They are not serving an effort at creating pathways for change. They are serving an effort at creating pathways for possibility.
