ok, du brain trust. what should the dem slogan be?

[mopinko]

i know how clever folks are here.
what can we come up w?

[no_hypocrisy]

1. Rolling up our sleeves, let's get to work!

We're in this together!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. All the good ones have been taken

Square Deal
New Deal
Fair deal

[Donkees]

3. Real Deal

[jehop61]

5. Bingo!

[enough]

9. Perfect. NT

[nikibatts]

19. I like it!

[Beartracks]

33. Real Solutions for the Real World.

[uponit7771]

48. +1

[femmedem]

82. So good!

[renegade000]

13. An Honest Deal

To contrast with Don the con.

[Hugin]

31. A Fair Deal

Also, a contrast... But, also a promise.

[0rganism]

43. imho, we shouldn't go with anything "Deal" - plays right into Trump's oily little hands

but i don't have any quality suggestions - after a couple years of this bullshit, the damage may be too severe to repair anyway

[brush]

49. How about: "America for All", or "America for All With Healthcare for All"?

[Va Lefty]

4. Vote Democratic--the Party for you not the Party of the few

[theophilus]

6. Eat the Rich. n/t

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

15. And then eat their cake :) n/t

[KentuckyWoman]

22. i laughed.

and then clicked to see your moniker is spongebob.

love it.

[brooklynite]

7. Why do we need one?

We need a consise message of what we stand for; a slogan has little value.

[mopinko]

10. ok, what the message?

[CanonRay]

11. You are wrong. Remember the Contract with America? Remember the New Deal

It can be very helpful, especially with low information voters, of which there are millions, as we just saw in the last election.

[brooklynite]

16. Those are titles, not slogans.

[mopinko]

95. so what's your message.

and they are slogans.

[rzemanfl]

14. Have a "c" I will trade for the "s." I need one to say "bullshit" I need to say that

a lot these days.

[0rganism]

44. slogans have considerable value

especially when they can be easily placed upon articles of clothing

[haele]

73. Because the general public thinks in slogans.

If you haven't noticed, Elections have become team sports, not a chance to consider a way to establish a national identity or policy for everyone.

You need a good slogan as part of the process for people to remember why they have to vote. "MAGA", as much of a lie as it was, got enough people out to the polls that, along with voter suppression, tipped the balance between Clinton and Drumpf along with some other local races.

Haele

[HughBeaumont]

97. Tell that to the party that's been beating our asses for the past 7 years . . .

Despite them being

* morally in the Bronze Age
* economically in the Gilded Age
* culturally in the Antebellum South

and

* technologically in the mid-1990s.

Americans attention spans have been reduced to factoid/news ticker absorption.

That isn't me talking. That's 2017 talking.

[Gabi Hayes]

8. Here

https://m.

The words are fan

tas

tic

[superpatriotman]

12. God, guns and family

If they truly want to win

[chowder66]

17. The Big Fucking Deal! : )

[mopinko]

18. ha!!

it works for me.

[mopinko]

20. come on guys. srsly.

y'all berating the party line, but nobody can do better?

[Hugin]

21. Hell No! We won't go quietly!

or maybe something with "cray" in it... Y'know, for TheFerret.

[mopinko]

24. i, personally, have never seen- i'm not that guy- win. ever.

we need to be about what we are about.

[Hugin]

27. So, I suppose "We don't want you to die!" is right out, too.

*tsk* It's a shame.

Back to the basement drawing board, I go.

[Warren DeMontague]

23. DEAL

[Warren DeMontague]

25. "Sic Itur Ad Astra"

[mopinko]

29. personally, i sorta like

e pluribus unum.

to save others from having to google, tho,
sic itur ad astra-
thus one journeys to the stars

[mopinko]

26. also- can i get some recs here?

i am sorta serious about this question.
if any bunch of dem brains can come up w the right words, it is du.

(ps- my sister is thinking of running for a county board next year, so, sorta srsly self-interested.)

[C_U_L8R]

28. Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

[procon]

38. Sounds like a porn site, but WTH, it might work! nt

[C_U_L8R]

54. Daft Punk

[Liberty Belle]

30. No "deal" slogans- sounds like Trump's "Art of the Deal."

the party needs to show it CARES about people and will work to make live better for all Americans.

They need to hammer on the Republicans' cruelty and Democrats' humanity.

Caring and sharing. I'm not so good at slogans, but drop anything with "deal" like a hot potato.

[Chasstev365]

32. Restoring Democracy and the American Dream 2018!

[Caliman73]

34. We Work for You!

[Warren DeMontague]

35. Make Great America Great Again

Seriously, some of those rides are kind of old.

[Lifelong Protester]

36. "Got Democracy?"

or Get Real.

[Squinch]

59. This one is great!

[JI7]

37. it doesn't really matter . it will be different for different candidates

depending on what part of the country they are from.

[procon]

39. America Works! nt

[Akamai]

40. Paul Wellstone -- "We all do well when we all do well! I've got

your back and you've got mine! "

[mopinko]

70. cant beat wellstone.

[Willie Pep]

75. I like it.

It sounds very positive and it is a direct attack on the scapegoating that characterizes Republican messaging these days.

[Akamai]

92. Yup! Simple direct reassurance. Great thing in an inhospitable world.

[AJT]

41. Your America. My America. OUR AMERICA.

We work hard
We care for each other
We believe in fairness
We cherish freedom
We love our families
Bla bla bla

I can't think of any more, but I'm sure there are a lot.

[Awsi Dooger]

42. Remarkable You

It has to be something short, positive, memorable and that people will assign to themselves.

I thought of Remarkable You in a few minutes. I looked it up and there seemed to be a book by that title and also a health care company using the phrase.

So maybe there would be copyright issues. I have no idea. But we desperately need something that can carry on generation after generation, like the Apple slogan of "Think Different." Something that boosts the overall image of the party and provides an identity. If we continuously have to slap together something to fit the current political climate or candidate then basically there's no chance. Too much burden. You can't be that good cycle after cycle.

But with the slogan I listed there could always be big picture commercials that end with something like, "As always, the Democratic Party believes in Remarkable You."

[mopinko]

68. i kind of like that.

[Fozzledick]

45. THROW THE BUMS OUT!

Simple, direct and uncompromising.

[onetexan]

51. throw the traitors out

[kentuck]

52. Appeal to patriotism?

I agree.

[pnwmom]

46. For the People. n/t

[Vinca]

55. I like that one! Simple and it sounds patriotic.

[Egnever]

47. The truth is important

Then they should start telling it. Without backing down when people don't like it.

Most cowardly thing I ever saw was the Dems running away from the ACA during the midterms under Obama instead of fighting for it. Instead a lot of them hid and to this day we are paying for that.

Stop pretending they aren't sure if this administration is doing anything wrong and get out there and start blasting them for their criminality.

Meh slogans are bullshit people want passion authentic passion. Maybe that is not possible in our government anymore or maybe the one thing we can learn from Trump is a big portion of this country wants someone who will fight for them. We have a big problem with Dems who are afraid to cause any waves regardless of what is going on.

There should be endless town halls right now taking advantage of the anti Trump energy out there and our representatives for the most part are sitting on their hands. They should be dropping bombs right now on Donald's head.

Some are most aren't.

[kentuck]

50. America - Love it or Leave it.

Don't Vote For the TRAITORS.

[muriel_volestrangler]

53. Working For All (nt)

[Squinch]

56. Very nice.

[Vinca]

57. It's hard to believe, but Joe Scarborough uttered a good: "Americans First."

[OnDoutside]

58. Make America Free From Russia Again - MAFFRA ;)

[Warren DeMontague]

60. "Cleaning Up The Previous Republican Administration's Mess Since 1977"

[Warren DeMontague]

63. Or since 1933, for that matter

[Squinch]

61. "Take back our power" or "Take back the power of the people"

Take back the power of our vote
Take back the power of our true Democracy
Take back the power over our bodies
Take back the power of a living wage
Take back the power of health
Take back the power of a secure old age
Take back the power of our truth
Take back the power to lead the world
Take back the power to walk safely in the streets regardless of your race, creed or color
Take back the power of our sanity

[Squinch]

62. "Democrats: By the people, for the people."

[Donkees]

64. Succeed Together

[mopinko]

66. ya know, i liked stronger together.

i just dont think they worked hard enough to brand that.
should have put it on blue hats and tossed them into the crowds.

forward together?

[Donkees]

71. IMO, 'Succeed' seems to be the essence of the new slogan focusing on jobs, skills, etc. for those

who felt that the economy was rigged against them.

[AJT]

65. The dream, reborn.

[mopinko]

67. i like that.

[lindysalsagal]

69. Families First.

(We are the 99%)

[mopinko]

72. ok, lets try this-

what slogan should either of these woman adopt if they were to run for president?

[Squinch]

77. Seriously, we HAVE to run Tammy for President someday. That's not a slogan. We just do.

[Worktodo]

74. Make America Great Again

And for 2018 a "Contract With America" that includes healthcare for all. I'm not kidding. Do what the Rs do-- take memes that are already appropriated and recast their meaning.

[mopinko]

76. completely arguable.

[Worktodo]

87. I think so

Make the hats blue and it's done.

[Eko]

78. Proceed.

[Ilsa]

79. Vote for Life. Vote Democratic. nt

[FM123]

80. You got another thing coming!

[dawg]

98. Screaming for vengeance?

Hell bent for leather!!!

[FM123]

99. sure, we can blare Judas Priest at Dem rallies...

[AngryAmish]

81. Strong Mutually Antagonistic Governments Everywhere.

[Laxman]

83. We're Here To Clean Up The Mess....

Last edited Wed Jul 26, 2017, 09:39 AM - Edit history (1)

Nothing Cute.....just straight forward- We're Here To Clean Up the Mess!



Do what I say when I say!

[Vogon_Glory]

84. A Country For All Its Citizens

[dubyadiprecession]

85. 'Bringing sanity back to Washington'

[McCamy Taylor]

86. Don't need a slogan. Trump's cheeto face is the best meme the Dems have

going into the 2018 elections.

[mopinko]

90. nope. we need to put our values out there.

clearly. succinctly.
i'm not that guy NEVER wins.

[SCantiGOP]

88. Free Pot

[mopinko]

91. legal pot would go a long way, honestly.

a point of personal freedom that would go a long way.

[mvd]

89. It's harder than I thought

I thought of a couple:

A New, New Deal for America
Take America Back

[mopinko]

94. yeah, it is.

a fb friend was beefing about the new slogan and i asked her what she would like.
she is pretty savvy, and she couldnt do it either.

[kentuck]

93. M.R.G.A.

Make Russia Great Again
Vote Republican

[Adrahil]

96. Nothing with "deal" in it. It's not the 1930's. NT

I'm not a marketing guy, and I tend to hate soundbites, but I recognize their value.

So, these won't trip off the tongue, but they hit the ideas I think are important, but we need to drop the "New Deal" references. No one cares anymore.

A few ideas:

Honest Promises, Honest Results

Success for ALL Americans

America Works Together
