"SNIP.......

House Democrats have a new campaign slogan for the midterm election: “For the People,” Politico reports.

“The new motto, which Democratic leaders unveiled in a private meeting with members Wednesday morning, is meant to put a finer point on the broad economic-based messaging Democrats have been pushing with mixed success since last summer. That initial message — a “Better Deal” — has largely failed to break through with voters and has been openly mocked by some Democratic lawmakers.”

1. how bout save america from the repub traitors. nt

[samnsara]

2. I like it! 'a better deal' sounded like a fast food place

[Garrett78]

11. What does "For the People" mean? It's utterly ambiguous.

I'm reminded of this:

[Bayard]

3. I'm thinking---TREASON SUCKS!

[Garrett78]

4. Save Democracy From Traitors. Make Racism Wrong Again.

C'mon, let's get a bit provocative.

6. You don't want your motto to be about the opposing party.

You want to sell people on why they should vote for you, not just against someone else.

[Garrett78]

7. Both of my suggestions are about what Democrats would do if in charge.

It's just a matter of perspective. I honestly don't know what the hell "For the People" means.

15. It's supposed to say that the Democratic Party is for all races, colors and religions.

It also seems to include a little bit of a Democratic dog whistle — If that’s a thing — That the Republican Party is NOT For The People, because it only cares about white people.

5. I like it.

It’s a hell of a lot better than “A Better Deal”

[hatrack]

8. How about this:

"Had Enough?"

[2naSalit]

22. Winner!!!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. He He

?t=15

[Garrett78]

10. That slogan is every bit as ambiguous as Make America Great Again.

Actually, MAGA wasn't all that ambiguous. It really translates as Make America White and only White.

12. "Be Best"

oops

[applegrove]

16. LOL!

[procon]

13. Needs a verb.

Its much better than the first, but still needs some juice.



Working for the People

Fighting for the People

Defending the People

[Achilleaze]

20. !

[superpatriotman]

14. That I like

Thank you.

[Efilroft Sul]

17. It should be "Take America Back from Russia"

Go straight for the gut with voters.

Go straight for the jugular with Republicans.

[Garrett78]

18. "The Human Fund: Money for People"

Did Democratic leaders consult George Costanza?

This is just embarrassing.

[RandomAccess]

19. Almost good

I'd have preferred We The People -- but thank God they're jettisoning Better Deal.

We don't want a deal, we want good governance.

[2naSalit]

23. +1

[yallerdawg]

21. "Impeach and Imprison for the People!"

Plug in your own deepest desire!

[moose65]

24. I agree

A slogan should NOT highlight the opposition. Dems need a short and sweet slogan that can be remembered easily. If we don’t have an absolute blue tsunami this fall, our slogan might become Under His Eye or Blessed Be The Fruit.
