Then explain to the class what you do believe in. Give us 3 bullet points you'd want a candidate to also support.

I'll start as an example:

I believe in complete and unequivocal abortion rights for women
High speed rail should get more funding in the US, and car based transport (where rail could be a realistic replacement) should not be a cheap as it is
Gerrymandering should be ended, and federal level elections should be taken over by a nonpartisan 50-50 committee to create new maps when local governments continue to submit unacceptable voting maps to intentionally stall so they can keep using the old gerrymandered map for the next elections
