We need to sloganize better.

Not because intelligent people need such cheap tactics, but because stupid people decide their votes upon them.


"Stronger together" was ridiculously lame.

This time around I suggest "Take Out the Trash".

is because they don't want to be together with non white non christian non straights.

i have no problem with take out the trash but depending on who uses it they will be attacked like deplorables was.

I doubt that one fourth of the people in America remember what it was. Or even knew what it was at the time.

You think we are stronger when fractured off into many smaller groups after the same end game?

You seriously started a thread to criticize Hillary's Campaign slogan??

65 million voters thought it was a great slogan.

Try to move on.

Because are we as a country, as a society of many diversities after a common goal, Not Stronger Together??
There is nothing lame about that at all.
Seems to say exactly what the Democratic Platform was about.

We are certainaly not a stronger society when political division is the goal, are we?

Its a pretty simple & direct Slogan that won the popular vote.
Why would you single it out among all the others?

Hmm??

Stronger together is great.

Take out the trash? That will be vilified, and rightly so. Positive slogans are a much better reflection of who we are.

8. I agree... positive slogans are a much better reflection of who we are

but is the point of a campaign slogan to be a reflection or to get votes?

If "Take Out the Trash" is too stark for you, how about these?:

America Deserves Better
Make America Proud Again

13. I don't think "Take Out the Trash" is a good slogan

I think we should focus on a positive message rather than a negative one.
