FTA:

- Single-payer national health care.

- Legalizing and regulating personal recreational drug use.

- Shift bulk of electrical generation to solar, wind, hydroelectric, and wave farm.

- Review/Repair/Replace/Remove highways, bridges, dams.

- Upgrade and subsidize metropolitan public transit solutions for the next century.

- Build and subsidize metropolitan high-speed communication networks.

- Ensure a minimum-wage that meets a reasonable cost of living.

- Ensure fair and safe working conditions.

- Ensure global environmental commons protections.

Watson is benevolent and will make everything better. No need to fear the computers taking our jobs. People are even voting in favor of computers running things! No Fear!

It's just a positive platform, that doesn't address divisive issues (abortion, immigration, etc...)
