Imagine that on the campaign posters, it will say your name and then this policy. For example:
Vote for <your username> ...

- A Speedy DMV. (It should take 10 minutes to renew your license at the DMV.)
- Rice in every restaurant. (Rice is good with everything. At least some Asian KFCs will serve fried chicken with rice!)
It should resonate deeply with people, without the expectation that it should solve any of the deeper problems in life.
