I want to unpack this for viewers who, like most of our viewers, would say, wait a second, the Republicans do the Republican primary and the Democrats do the Democrat primary, and then they face off against each other. But California has the jungle system. Republicans did not bring this to the state of California. It was an effort by Democrats to ensure that you had a Democrat against a Democrat in the general election. and that Republicans wouldn't even have a seat at the table, which is often the case. Oh, yeah, it is. And by the way, that's not good for democracy. (09:11–09:25)
