2. I'd rather give people something positive to vote FOR

... not just something terrible to vote AGAINST.

My preference is a three-plank platform:

1. Pledge to remove marijuana from the federal narcotic list making it legal for states to legalize/decriminalize.

2. Pledge to find a equitable solution to the student loan crisis.

3. Pledge to work with reasonable Republicans to amend and fix the ACA.

This would mobilize young people and get them to the polls with something to vote FOR.
