18. Okay, but who are we?
" We are now ready, at will, to demonstrate to the American people who we are and for what we stand"

Okay, but who are we and for what do we stand?

Speaking from careful observation, not from a desire to 'be right' or to further some ideology, but just from observation and experience, the 50% of Americans who don't vote and the large numbers of voters who were duped into voting for repubs last time but are quite disillusioned now will NOT BE VERY MOTIVATED to vote or to switch if the answer to the above question is

We are trying to think of a way to slightly decrease the corruption
and
We don't like what Repubs did in Iraq and we will do something slightly different.

This kind of platform will result in 50% (or more) not voting at all, and the remainder being split almost exactly half and half between two parties that don't make it clear how they differ. Just like what has happened in the almost all elections over the last 20 years.

EVEN THOUGH DEMOCRATS DO REALLY HAVE MUCH BETTER POLICIES WHEN THEY'RE IN.
