3. Hmmm, let me think for a minute...

Focus on dumping Government “bureaucracy”, with its building codes, labor laws and environmental and FDA regulations designed for safety and fairness,

OR…

Focus on reining in late-stage capitalism, its oligarchs, billionaires, private equity predators, and tech bros - the very people who want to eliminate the regulations that safeguard citizens against waste, fraud and abuse, not to mention poisoned food, water and air, so they can maximize their profits while enjoying low taxes…

I’m sure the “Problem Solvers” caucus will come up with a “compromise” platform that gives the rich and powerful all they want, and in exchange, Americans get an “abundance” of…quickly, poorly constructed infrastructure and public works projects built with non-union labor.

Not a very tough choice for me…if it fractures the party, so be it. I hear Elon Musk is looking for a bunch of centrists for his Third Way Third Party…and then the Democratic Party can retain its long held values that protect and benefit the working families of the nation.
