Could Democrats win the next election with a simple slogan?

I think it is possible.

They need to say something purely unoffensive but containing a truth, without mentioning names or personalities.

It needs to be repetitive and rather short.

Over a period of time, people will weigh the words as being from a totally non-partisan position.

That is a way to open their minds.

It should be a very simple slogan.

2. If you could reason with tRumpers, they wouldn't be tRumpers.....

A simple slogan, no matter how compelling, isn't going to penetrate the cement-heads who still worship the Slobfather. If they haven't divorced themselves from him by now, they will go to their graves kissing his little scrotum--sooner, I hope, than later......

4. You are correct. You cannot reason with tRumpers.

That is the idea. Do not try to reason with them. Let them reason with the truth.

In my opinion, the slogan that will gain the most traction with repetitiveness is: Republicans Cannot Defend Our Country Or Our Constitution

Nothing more needs to be said.

There is no mention of Donald Trump.

Because deep down, America knows it is not safe in the hands of Republicans. No names or personalities need to be mentioned. Most Americans know what happened on January 6th and before. If this slogan is stated over and over, it is non-partisan enough to seep thru the wall that now surrounds the two political Parties.

16. I like the image of Trump's face

inside a circle with a line through it and a caption: "Just say no to fascism."

Or, if he doesn't run for office from a jail cell, then whoever does run cab have their mug shot in the circle.

Very versatile. Use it in midterns, too, for all Republican candidates.

I'd sure like to hear the dems take to task the entities who really shafted out democracy.

To break thru the partisanship, in my opinion. And it should never mention Donald Trump.

It needs to be non-threatening. Republicans Cannot Defend Our Country or Our Constitution

10. I always thought Hillary Clinton's slogan was literally the stupidest ever

"I'm with her"--so unbelievably tone deaf! A campaign shouldn't be about we can do for a politician, it should be about what they plan to do for us.

So it's not catchy, but "We're on your side" or something to that effect might point out the difference between the Party of No and the party that's trying to restore the child care tax credit and BBB and deal with the climate crisis and do things that will actually benefit us.

11. It's unusual times. Usual slogans will not work.

It should never mention Trump's name. It has to tell the truth without attacking any individual. By repetition, it will enter into the minds of whomever hears it. They should understand the importance of its message.

It should be a simple slogan with a simple truth.
