I think what we have to continually evaluate is, in this moment in time, how do we make sure that we can advance our agenda in a way that reflects what's good for ordinary folks, not special interests, not simply the well-to-do, and how do we do that in a way that's consistent with integrity, honesty, democracy, the values that we claim to want to uphold? I think it's possible to do that."   (📺: "No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen")   #obama #democrats #trump #politics #cspan Tue, 05 May 2026 15:49:33 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://motube.smithandtech.com https://motube.smithandtech.com/lazy-static/avatars/933c9118-81c8-4e69-a82c-512c3a13a060.jpg https://motube.smithandtech.com/videos/watch/fcc96f59-ebf0-4260-9504-1368e387a972 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://motube.smithandtech.com/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
