IMO, the Democratic Party platform should be limited to 5 bullet points.

[CK_John]

I would prefer 3 bullet points but....

[NCTraveler]

1. What would your three bullet points be? nt.

[Blue_Adept]

2. Aw, c'mon, don't expect someone to do their own work

[NCTraveler]

6. Considering they already have three in mind...

One might think they would have been shared in the op.

21. All I can think of is this

7. Passenger driverless. That is the ticket. Eom

[Tommy_Carcetti]

20. Carless, passengerless driverless cars. Nt

[pirateshipdude]

23. Ah ha. Ya. That. Eom

[pirateshipdude]

5. That is not good enough.

Not only do we have address each and everything with our big tent of interest, we also have to have a recently revised, time appropriate, doable and ready to implement policies.

One may actually have to think and read. God forbid. Simply, lives at stake.

14. .

see your point

[hatrack]

10. Five? OK . . .

1. Medicare For Everybody

2. Tax The Rich, Tax Cuts For The Rest Of Us

3. End The War On Drugs

4. Corporations Are Not People

5. Global Warming Is Real - So Put People To Work Dealing With It

[NCTraveler]

11. We would be laughed out of town.

And rightfully so.

Then again, that is the point of this "thought" exercise.

[hatrack]

13. Well?

Your bullet points? Anything?

[NCTraveler]

18. I wouldn't even entertain limiting it to five bullet points.

First question I would ask from yours is what do you have against SS. What do you have against SNAP? Is the party leaving these core issues behind.

Of course I know you aren't. It's the absurdity of the "thought" experiment.

I would prefer something like this.

15. The state elected members will meet for bi-annual convention and theyl

will define the platform.

[hatrack]

16. So why did you bother posting?

Toodles.

[NCTraveler]

19. This. nt.

[irisblue]

17. Equality & Civil Rights for All?

Did you miss this one?

[LanternWaste]

22. The GOP effectively interpreted your tactic as "God, Guns and Gays."

That's an efficient and effective way to appeal only to the lowest common denominator. The GOP interpreted your tactic as "God, Guns and Gays."

Efficient and effective indeed...

24. The Dems are rolling out . . .

their agenda, presumably Monday. The tagline is:A Better Deal: Better Skills, Better Jobs, Better Wages. Schumer has stated he wants 5-6 sharp, clear policy points that can be explained/described in 5 words. So, it's a little over the 3 bullet points but headed in the right direction.

Dana Milbank at Wapo wrote a rather snarky Oped about the the rollout because . . .that's what he does. But Dem leadership has been listening and working behind the scenes. And that's a good thing.

25. I would agree. The more concise the message, the better.

The problem is, we currently have no message. I'd like to see a clean, formatted "summary" that can be viewed and understood in under 10 seconds.
