1. Can't pick just one. Maybe two... |
|
Secured Health Care for all and Social Security for all.
But also something to end tax breaks for the wealthy and the death of the middle class.
Perhaps a single thing that could eventually lead to both, and more, would be campaign finance reform...

2. Reforming the legal/penal code |
|
To make it both applicable to everyone and not just the non-wealthy, and to make it fair. It wouldn't be a popular plank at first, that's for sure.

3. There is good information and there is bad information. GOP policy platforms are bad made up issues. |
|
Democratic platform is real (jobs & trying to grow the middle class).
