Instead of the Big B*****l Bill?
It's a terrible bill right? they could've "renamed" it when dealing with the media to reflect that.
The middle class killer bill. The big steal bill. The big billionaire bill. The bye bye Medicaid/health bill. Whatever, just make it toxic.

(22,827 posts)It wasn't as good as you came up with, but it was something. I said at the time that ALL Dems needed to call it that from then on. They didn't. They cannot do unified messaging or will not. It's infuriating.

(55,378 posts)Yeah, it would be better if democrats agreed on a name like the "Robin Hood in reverse" bill, but the problem is the media never cooperates with democratic messaging like this.
They'll call the aca "Obamacare" because republicans wanted that, but they never cooperate with democrats that way.
So democrats tend not to waste time coordinating a message when that message will largely be denied the microphone.
Social media may offer a way to change that. democrats need to catch up on that front, to be sure.

No Kings. That's a great meme & movement name! Who came up with that? Not the DNC, that's for sure.

The repubs have more successfully branded our party than we have.

This sitting around waiting for Trump to implode is not satisfying the faithful or attracting converts.
