5 things that will fix the corruption in our politics:
1. Ban hedge funds from buying single-family homes.
2. Prohibit Congress and families from stock trading.
3. Remove big money from politics: Ban unions, corporations, super PACs; limit individual donations to $100 per election.

They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.
