"A bleeding-heart people"

That's the Green party alright.

"Kickstart the future"

I'm using this as the title for my upcoming Your Kickstarter Sucks FPP

"A brighter existence"

Sounds like an evil cult in a sci-fi movie.

"Reduce the hope"

"A bigger Asia-Pacific"

"End the tents"

Well, good for alternative grains then.

"Transparent on tents"

This seems somehow unsavory.

"Share the hipsters"

All MetaFilter will get behind this campaign, I am sure.
