-End War
-No more obesity
-Free Public transportation

No body wants the opposite of those things either. But they will not vote for someone who doesn't think they can get it done, or doesn't believe them.

As its been stated before, its a popularity contest.

You can have an unlikable/untrustworthy person have great ideas, and a likable/trustworthy (or at least LESS unlikable) person with average ideas, and unfortunately the great ideas don't always win.
