And already we're going to lose jobs in these ports in Washington, Oregon, California. So I think it's going to start sooner than six months. But I generally agree with Steve on that.

Yeah, I think I think that's exactly right. I think we get confused by action versus coherency. I don't think the Democrats actually have to be coherent right now.

Anything that shows that we're alive is good at the moment.

But I and I agree with Steve completely on that. I do think that we're not doing a good job on this micro communications. I think, you know, communicating hyper locally with, you know, influencer groups that are, you know, defined as the, you know, the people who shop at stores. you know, Walmart or get their hair done at the mall or are part of affinity groups for soccer teams.

You know, small groups that can be heard in a hyper-local level, I think, is something that the Democrats have to get a lot better at.

I mean, we used to have these silos that you named, you know, women, blacks, Latinos, labor, you know, and you'd have a director for each one of those in a campaign. But now people are cross-cutting. You know, the definition of an influential Latino in America is completely different than it was in the Mondale campaign. So where are the groups?
