1. Can't pick just one. Maybe two...
Secured Health Care for all and Social Security for all.

But also something to end tax breaks for the wealthy and the death of the middle class.

Perhaps a single thing that could eventually lead to both, and more, would be campaign finance reform...

2. Reforming the legal/penal code
To make it both applicable to everyone and not just the non-wealthy, and to make it fair. It wouldn't be a popular plank at first, that's for sure.

3. There is good information and there is bad information. GOP policy platforms are bad made up issues.
Democratic platform is real (jobs & trying to grow the middle class).
