I think they need to hold another focus group on this one.
I think itās a good slogan. But to be effective, slogans need to reflect the people and ideas they represent. Can we Democrats convince those who arenāt committed to the cause that we really are for the people? Thatās the challenge.
its better, but how about: STOP THE INSANITY!
Iām really not convinced this sloganeering matters one whit.
National campaign slogans during a midterm really donāt matter. I can pretty much remember most of the presidential campaign slogans over the last 20 years or so, but I couldnāt tell you what any of the midterm national party slogans were. In any event, the Democrats canāt possibly come up with anything as laughably bad as āBetter Off Now.ā
I would suggest:
āBetter off now?ā
Thatās a change for the better. āA Better Dealā is either better than FDRās āNew Dealā which is a weird thing to be talking about right now, or a reference to Trumpās pitch he can get the ābest dealā for America. Claiming your party can beat Trump at his own game is silly, the pitch should be that Trump canāt provide what Americans really want ā some of those things like justice and progress that Democrats actually are better at providing.
In fact, we might be better off without national campaign slogans that are guaranteed to be ignored or, worse, mocked. 
I canāt believe that, with all the Hollywood types, and trial lawyer types, and communication medium types that are in the Democratic Party, they canāt come up with anything better than that vaguely Communistic (1) phrase. Dem messaging has been awful and is not getting any better.
*1( And remember, ācommunismā and Russia are now RepublicanĀ© brands.
Holy shit they suck. Iām now too furious to play on TPM for a little while.
My apologies for the gigantic font. I havenāt figured out how to control it yetā¦
How about āHope and changeā?
How about āAmerica Risingā (my personal fave), or āSmell The Coffeeā or āFuck Traitors!ā Seriously, āA Better deal?ā Fold.
āA better dealā sucked for any number of reasons, mostly having to do with it literally reacting to Trump, to his āagendaā such as it was, to his insistence on always being the one making the greatest deals ever.
This isnāt about Trump, itās about the people. The best interests of America and the people who live here.
Of course it evokes the powerful concluding lines of Lincolnās Gettysburg Address, so three words are actually saying a lot more about defending Democracy and the very purpose of our system of government. (The literary term here is synecdoche.)
āā¦and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.ā
I like it, a lot.
Lower taxes. Smaller government. A strong defense.
All of these are things that MEAN something. The longest one is three words.
Do GOTPers tend do to the exact opposite? Absolutely. But this is about marketing, not governing.
Medicare for all. No working poor. Accountable government.
All those actually MEAN something.
Agree totally. The key is to hammer it over and over the way Trump does ādealā. Itās a natural fit so it shouldnāt be a big deal or even sound awkward.
āRead My Lips: A Taco Truck on Every Corner, We Promiseā
True story. My mom once was working in the public relations office of a local hospital. The CEO, a proto-tea party Republican dumbass, objected strenuously to a word that had long been in the hospitalās mission statement.
The word was āwelfareā.
