00:00Are your feelings hurt?
00:02Move her words down.
00:03I think your fake eyelashes are messing up.
00:05No, ain't nothing.
00:06Hold on, hold on.
00:07How dare you?
00:08Somebody's bleach-blonde, bad-built, butch body.
00:10A what now?
00:12We're dysfunctional.
00:14Fear of being primaried shapes congressional behavior.
00:18It becomes a chokehold.
00:20We're going to take the power away from party insiders and give it to voters.
00:25We don't need party bosses telling us what to do.
00:29What if changing the way we vote could change everything?
00:32I was walking around with a 25-page proposal like a venture capitalist.
00:36Hey, do you want to invest in my idea?
00:39First time ever using open primaries.
00:41First time using ranked choice voting.
00:43It really set off an earthquake.
00:45I think it's going to be legendary.
00:47This is really wide open now.
00:50Voters were deceived.
00:52They were schnookered.
00:54I was very clear about who my second-place vote was going to.
00:57I am not going to be underestimated.
00:59I've got a huge target on my back, you might notice.
01:01We're definitely Trump people now.
01:03So you pick the right door.
01:04I go to all the doors.
01:06I've been to about 700 doors in the last 10 days, and only two men have yelled at me.
01:10So that's, yay, that's great.
01:15There's clearly some aspect of this that is an attack on political parties.
01:19They do not want open primaries, ranked choice voting, because they would give up power.
01:23Everyone has been slow to catch on to this.
01:26Everyone.
01:27Not taking the opportunity is the enemy.
01:30Not a lot of party leaders are naturals for the cover of Do Gooder magazine.
01:35I'm only voting for myself, and, well, look what happened.
01:39Let's post it.
01:40I think that really blew a lot of minds.
01:43Maybe Alaska can lead when it comes to election reform.
01:48We're in it to win it.
01:51I'd appreciate your vote.
01:56Rock on, Alaska!
