We need to take a page from the repubs, who use the 'wink, wink, nudge, nudge" all the time. They all know that their candidates have a certain agenda, subjects which are often controversial and can lose votes, so they try not to mention them. We need to trust that our candidates are all pro-LGBTQ, pro-choice, pro-environment and pro-separation of church and state...and then not mention these topics during the campaign. No reason to stir it up.
