IMHO the campaign needed one or more rallying points [View all]

My thoughts on good points:
> End the war on drugs/legalize cannabis
> See any states here that are neither green nor gold that may have helped swing the election?
........


> Make the $15/hour minimum wage a big priority.
> It's not just the national 1%ers objecting to this, it's also the "comparative 1%ers" in rural area businesses. One of the reasons we have less influence and support in rural and small town America is many college grads who live there are faced with the choice of either moving to a big city to get a job with decent pay or stay rural with very limited prospects and paying off student loans.


>> Maybe there are others but those are big ones.
