It seems like now is a good time to have a conversation about finding common ground between the various factions of left/progressive folks. I know this isn't a new topic but maybe it's worth revisiting.

What are the sticking points and what can we all agree on in the context of current-day politics?

The extremely wealthy have gotten their fingers so thoroughly in our politics through lobbying, campaign donations, and shady deals that it seems almost impossible to separate the money from power.

Agreed. We seemed somewhat close with Bernie, but we saw how that ended. But he had support, and he could've held more power over the DNC if he had refused to endorse Hilary without MAJOR concessions from the party.

But that could've ended with Trump winning in 2016, and nobody wanted that, so he sold out his values and toed the party line. Didn't seem to work out.
