Campaigns Should Sell Priorities, Not Plans

Political candidates should foreground high‑level priorities and governing capacity instead of publishing detailed policy blueprints for every issue. The shift treats campaigns as selectors of judgment and priorities rather than technocratic manuals, leaving technical specifics to legislatures and bureaucrats or to be developed after election. — If adopted, this changes how voters evaluate candidates (focus on judgment and priorities), alters accountability mechanics (less precommitment to detailed measures), and reshapes primary politics (fewer intra‑party nitpicks over narrow proposals).
