2. Long, but scrolled through and listened to parts in the transcript that resonated with me. Good stuff.

Not sure how many DUers would agree. No doubt there are those who will pooh-paw Steve Smith because he's always been a
Republican strategist, and Malcolm Nance because he's not a politician, has never run for office, and other reasons, etc.

They discussed and were critical of our current minority leaders in Congress. I tend to agree with their views, but I wonder what percent of DUers would also agree and what percent believe Chuck Schumer should be re-elected as Dem Senate leader in 2026? Underlying all of this is the sense of urgency. It seems the urgency is greater than many sense, so I have a hard time being optimistic about our party right now.
