Here, I continue the list I started last week, of reasons why people with progressive values should never support Uber or Lyft:
Uber and Lyft are Anti-Labor
Uber and Lyft are Bad for Cities
Uber and Lyft are Anti-Democratic
Uber and Lyft Exemplify the New Post-Truth Capitalism
And Fortunately -- You Don't Need Them!

But that's just the start.
Uber and Lyft are Anti-Democratic
