The Importance of Influence in Politics

I think there are rare situations in which you can see your own impact in a really visceral way. I remember this time on Bernie's campaign in 2016, I was the New Hampshire press guy. Hillary Clinton had not taken a position on an idea for a pipeline that ran the length of New Hampshire. He organized to have one line about we need to reject it put into a speech insert. A few months later, Hillary Clinton follows suit and says she's opposed to the pipeline. That's one of those moments where it's cool. You can trace your own impact on stuff, but that stuff is pretty rare,. Yeah.
