what we need to do (to win) is explain exactly in plain language what we intend to do to improve the average citizen's life by way of policy. And we need to explain how exactly we intend to accomplish this feat.

For example, if you go to buy a new car and dealer A spends hours showing you all the features of their car and dealer B spends most of his time bashing dealer A then you will open your wallet in dealer A's showroom. And then you will tell all of your friends that dealer B is an idiot. Positive wins over negative every time.
