β€œThis is striking,” one doctor said. β€œThe trend is very clear.”

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.Β 

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.
