  1. “Too late to actually, we didn't have a plan. There was not a plan to maximize this moment. They put a vote on the calendar. We've known it was coming for months and not enough was done to prepare for it. And look, is this the end of the world? No. It is one minor thing, but we ought to learn from the things that went wrong there if we're going to have any chance of doing this. Because the odds of success are so long and the path is so narrow that you have to do everything right to get it done. And we're going to have to be smarter and tougher about this going forward.”

  2. “Good in theory, they're good public policy, like public financing elections that have never had a chance of being law. But throughout this process, no one from in the Senate or in the White House, I would assume, wanted to have a tough conversation with the activists and say, you're not going to get everything you want. So we are going to have to deal with that now. And we just waited and waited.”

  3. “Eventually, yes, but they're not there yet. Like, there was a position where they could have adopted that before the vote, but there was some Democratic resistance to that as well. Like, you don't have to adopt it because it's only a motion to proceed to a bill. But the big thing here is the for the people act is based on HR1, a piece of legislation passed in January of 2019 that was a message bill. It had no chance of becoming law. It was not written to be a law. It was a written to show what Democrats are for and the fairs on democracy. And it's filled with a bunch of incredibly important things. When it was repassed in 2021, it was not adjusted to two realities. The first, a 50-50 Senate where you need your mansion's vote, or to address the growing and now very real threat of election subversion, of Republicans being able to disregard electoral results and discard ballots and mess around with election boards, et cetera. And there's a bunch of provisions in that bill that are”

  4. “But also Democrats haven't agreed to the Manchurian compromise yet either. Like, we have known forever that the For the People Act.”

  5. “About where this is going, our ability to get this done. And even if we can't get it done, our ability to successfully make the case to the public about the dangerous Republicans present to democracy and majority rule in this country.”

  6. “Conversation for much of the run up to the vote from Republican obstruction and sort of hatred for democracy to democratic weakness and democratic dissension. So we leaned into the off mocked and rarely but sometimes true meme of dems and disarray. Like what I think this brought forward is two things that are worth noting. The first is there has never really been a real plan for how we're going to get this done. There are two paths. One involves getting people to flip on the filibuster, the other involves getting 10 Republicans. And there's been a lot of confident sort of failure is not an option. We're going to get this done. It's the most important fight in generation. And the first response to the most important fight in a generation is a doomed to fail procedural vote where you have not done the hard work of getting all members of the caucus on board beforehand. And that is problematic. And it makes me very concerned.”

  7. “That I mean, just toss it up there. Want to stipulate that this vote was always going to fail, right? There is nothing more on brand for the Republicans than to use a legislative loophole designed to block the majority to stop a debate on democracy, right? Perfect. That was always going to happen. But the point of this vote was to highlight Republican obstruction, to essentially put together proof to Joe Manchin, Kirsten Sinema, untold others, including perhaps Chris Kunz of Delaware, that you could not work with Republicans on venerable. So they were going to block it under all scenarios. But the problem with it was that we have known for months that Joe Manchin was not going to support the current version of the Fourth of the People Act. And we still did not have a deal with him to have him on board to support the motion to proceed until hours before the vote. And what that did is it took the”

  8. “Yes. Can be an expert is Uncanceled Elijah is canceled. I am joined by campaign experts react favorite Cornell Belcher to talk about the crime ads and the recent New Mexico special election, some of the ads being used to persuade Joe Manchin to support democracy. And we talk about why some of these crazy MAGA Senate candidate ads are less crazy than you think.”

  9. “First, it's the mere presence of this episode is a rebuke to Elijah who tried to cancel us, and then the fans reacted and they told him.”
