| 0:00.0 | So it makes sense to me that in the Democratic Party, the people with real solutions to our problems gained seats, |
| 0:06.0 | while the Democrats who serve corporations and push for half-ass measures lost seats. |
| 0:11.0 | And yet, Nancy Pelosi and corporate Democrats like her remain in charge of both the Democratic |
