For the enormous inequality gap in the US, destruction of worker rights, destruction of social safety nets, trillion$ spent on defense while education & EPA budgets are slashed, etc, but most importantly, to curb the power of short term stockholder profits trumping the sustainability of life on earth.

And to now bring in one of the original Reagan Dems, a "centrist", a "conservative" triangulating RW Dem, to lead our party into the future unchallenged is just devastating in my view.

I'll also support any & all populist challengers. Vigorously.
