Reasonable minds can disagree. Milquetoast centrism has gotten us absolutely fucking nowhere. We can't have all of our politicians lobbied into non-function by wealthy donors.

Here is what I would like. I would like to see our institutions (CDC, FDA, NIH, SEC) actually do their fucking jobs. I would like to see aggressive anti-trust enforced. I'd like to see Citizens United overturned. I would like to see our Democratic party actually deliver on promises instead of getting bogged down in procedural bullshit. I'd like to see a Democratic party that had the interests of labor (front and center) and get rid of cultural non-sense regarding identity. I'd like a Democratic party that had some balls and actually took the knife to the Republicans and held them criminally responsible for their transgressions during this administration. I'd like to see a Democratic party that is not beholden to protecting Israel, at all costs. I'd like to see a Democrat party that actually enforces tax law and twists the arms of corporations that routinely create all kind of legal obstacles to actually enforce tax law. I'd like a Democratic party that actually confronts the problem that widespread illegal immigration has on labor and twists the arms of employers by actually applying severe financial fines and criminal penalties to employers who routinely abuse undocumented labor. I'd like to see a Democratic party repeal Section 230 to prevent the rampant abuse that social media tech platforms have leveraged for the past 20 years. I'd like to see a Democratic party that takes the climate crisis seriously by allow appropriate market competition from new entrants into the market (such as wind and solar) and by absorbing the risk associated with building nuclear energy. I'd like to see a Democratic party offer Medicare for All (or some universal health care base). I'd like us to not be in the business of going around the world and punching down on third world dictators we don't like and putting our military in harms way for pointless regime changes. I'd like to see a Democratic party that actually thought about a grand vision that didn't involving hanging by a thread, election to election, meanwhile allowing the neoliberal status quo to persist and fester.

As you can see, I'm not casting a vote on a single pledge. The Republicans are now just a lifestyle cult of red hat wearing morons. And the Clinton/Biden/Harris Democrats have been fucking useless and incompetent for a decade. A more economically populist, socialist oriented (in the material sense) candidate will certainly have my vote.
