We Need To Up Our Game On Catchphrases & Slogans

The ones we have, obviously aren't working. I think they're part of the reason Kamala lost.

We've got the now classic, "Don't Boo, Vote!" Thanks Barack. Perhaps if there's an election, you can revive it in 2028, when next we see you. Didn't work this time, because Kamala received several million fewer votes than Joe did 4 years ago.

Then the first of 2 debuts this year. "We're Not Going Back." Well, at least not for another 72 or so days. Then we're going back at least to January 2021, or perhaps all the way to the 1700's. Not to mention, we already went back 50 years when Roe was overturned a couple of years ago.

However, the best is probably "When We Vote, We Win!" Very catchy, but apparently those on our side are more the "When We Don't Vote, We Lose" types.

The other side has us beat. They've got, "I'll Be A Dictator On Day One." Also, "I Don't Care About You, All I Want Is Your Vote." So much better than our weak Vote = Win one. I think we should go with something like, "Vote For Me, Otherwise I'm Gonna Send A Bunch Of Goons Over To Your House And Kick Your Ass." Kinda long, but I think that would be effective, and is probably good enough to get some repubs to switch over and vote for our side.

Most are too stupid to know what the Cold War was.

We need a unified message. We need to stop dividing the electorate into interest groups and instead develop cohesive policies and messaging that appeal to a broader swath of the electorate.
