You win elections with addition, not a metaphorical firing squad. And body shaming.

Nameless guy: And Bernie's, Bernie's the reason why I really became 100% cynical because in uh in 2016, well, both both time that's two times that he's been just tossed aside. He had the nomination. Oh, and just got replaced.

Platner: Yep. Well, that's the like the the the powers that be refused to let him have it. And so they did what they do. They used their power, not the they didn't play by the rules. They didn't do like they didn't let it be a fair playing field. They had power. They used power to make sure that they could protect it, which really is kind of, -- think about it. That's the entire system at this point.

Also, right at the end:

Offscreen: Did he convince you to vote for him?

Nameless guy: Oh, I was going to vote for him anyway. Yeah, I I haven't really been keeping it a secret.

Would love to know more details about this "working people" guy as well.
