16. My three:

1. Getting back to being anti-war. You may not like hearing it but the elective wars in Libya and Syria drove anti-war voters to Third Parties. We sailed into Congressional Majorities in 2006 and into the Presidency in 2008 by galvanizing the anti-war movement. Then, the DNC ditched them entirely. In 2016, enough of them returned the favor to swing several states. Forget Russia. Forget Comey. Forget e-mails. Forget "identity politics." Ditching the anti-war vote is what cost the Dems.

We have to get back to that.

2. Universal healthcare.
3. Disability issues. Everyone's getting older. We need to do something to address, not only the elderly but the disabled kids who are growing up.
