6. Not from a blue state

It isn’t those of us in donor states making 150 to 750k that are the problem.

It is the billionaires.

When you lump in hard working people in blue states with the billionaires, you are going to piss off many supporters of the cause.

Now, ending the SS cap you will get support, but raising taxes on 150k earners, that will lose CA, MA, NY, WA support. And rightfully so.
