13. "Opportunity for all, favoritism for none"

Kinda sounds like "Hope and Change" with too many words.

Wait until the Thirdwayers bring out, Opportunity for America, no one left behind. Maybe then all will see they are one in the same. If anyone calls them out after being elected, they can just point to Obama's hollow campaign promises.

In the bigger picture, what does it say about the numbers of populist voters? We've been told were this insignificant itsy-bitsy group that should get in line with the anti-people dem party or go Independent. Now we have a RW think tank producing populist slogans to attract the flimsy in us.

The 2014 elections revealed that the anti-people dems don't have enough voters to even elect their own Blue Dogs. With an abstract slogan "Hope and Change" we turned the tides by coming out in droves, OUR #'S MATTER

Now the repubs know this and it is time to switch the inner-dem conversation to YOU NEED US MORE THAN WE NEED YOU!!!!

It's time to get tough. If they demand our vote for HRC in the general, we demand them to clear the way in the primaries(no CorporateDem funded candidates) for populist victories. Make our votes count with this Grand Dem Compromise.
