Does the DNC crowdsource slogans, bumper stickers, advertising campaigns? They should.

Sure, there are focus groups, but clearly that approach hasn't been working for Democrats. Most voters like what's in Democratic platforms but don't realize that they have to vote for the Democrats in order to get those things.

I can see two major purposes to making it possible for potential Democratic voters to submit their ideas for campaign slogans to the DNC:

1) Professionals aren't the only ones who can come up with compelling slogans; in fact, regular people may be better at knowing what will appeal to regular people.

2) It would give the DNC a moving snapshot of what issues need attention and what issues their potential voters are paying attention to. It would give an idea of what swing voters are interested in, but also what will motivate Democrats to actually get out there and vote.

I know there's a "contact us" form, which basically only puts you on the email list, but should there also be a way to submit our best wisdom-of-the-crowd suggestions?

2. Me either

Kind of telling, IMO.

I mean, it seems kind of weird that most people really like what Democrats want to do but the messaging is somehow so weak that we don’t win in landslides.

Republicans are all about short simple slogans (emphasis on simple, or simplistic), and while I wouldn’t want all our messaging to be at that level, we need to go after the slogan-motivated voters more effectively.

5. Appreciate what you're saying, but...

…crowdsourcing creative work is the bane of creative professionals’ existence. It’s wildly inefficient, unfair, and generally poorly paid, if it’s paid at all.
