how do you expect to accomplish anything sure of course that's the total thing well um voting in democrat in republican primaries when states allow you to vote in either as a way to keep out the worst candidate is a much discussed strategy that has been talked about for a while i think it's certainly a very interesting one i think you're absolutely right that part of what went wrong in virginia is uh that republicans are at a structural advantage it's much easier to motivate people to vote based on anger and fear in virginia a lot of it was about education and critical race theory and fear and anger are just better motivators to get people to engage with the system and that's something that the right uses significantly in this country so i i think your analysis is exactly right and in arkansas i might be wrong about this but i believe you have to either vote in the republican or the democrat you can't vote in both in the primary yeah i think that that's the case in uh that's i believe that's the case in every state you can't vote in both primaries yeah we have the the fact of the matter is as it stands in NUMBER_TOKEN the election is in march whoever wins the republican primaries in in the office pretty much is going to win in november and we have i think a character i don't know if you're familiar with them but i think you'll be more familiar with them in the future have you heard of jason or rapert no he is a real lunatic state senator we have that's running for lieutenant governor and anyone listening just read the wikipedia article on them kind of speaks for itself but i don't want to take up too much of your time but my question is for someone like me living in arkansas i i think obviously i'm kind of moderate left you if you want to say i think the most effective way to actually change the political demographics of the state is or do you think it's just better to just get out all together that's it's your call as to whether you want to get out or not it wouldn't be illegitimate to get out if you decide that you just want to improve your circumstances immediately rather than work to improve everybody's in your state but get in find local races find candidates that are that are doing the right things as far as you're concerned um and get get involved in those campaigns is the best advice i can give all right my friend i'm going to move on because i've got a lot of people waiting to chat one of our sponsors is kami koto making elegant high-end beautiful japanese steel kitchen knives using traditional techniques from honshu japan i've been a big fan of japanese kitchen knives for a long time they have some great advantages when you look closely at a kamikoto knife you see the quality of the iron work they only use japanese steel every knife comes in a perfect heavy duty ash wood box makes storage really easy it looks great in your kitchen or drawer the balance of the knives is just amazing i've been using them for everything every knife comes with a lifetime guarantee on their website you can see the complete list of chefs at michelin star restaurants who use kamikoto and through
