What are the PROBLEMS Populists want to fix?

[Cosmic Kitten]

22. You identified two prongs of the problem and solution

1. starting Locally is where to begin rebuilding the Dem Party.

That is how the tee party (although astro turfed) worked.
There is clearly a need for a "farm league" and a need
for a deep bench of trusted candidates.
Trust must be EARNED, not bestowed.
Earned through working UP through the ranks.
Currently, deep pockets are all that's required to get nominated.

2. We cant just take the 'money out of politics' by focusing on National Elections.

Exactly, that's a tall order, particulary in consideration
for how necessary MONEY is right now, as it is.
So not so much the Elections itself, as the platform itself.
The public has to buy into how money disenfranchises them.
And why its important to get their vote/voice back.
That message has cross-party Populist appeal.

Remember, inside every republican is a Populist
waiting to be set free!
