21 Slogans better than a “Better Deal”
I applaud the effort of Democrats to pursue a bold and affirmative agenda. It just so happens they missed the bold part, are lacking the spirit of affirmation, and are yet to really have a bold agenda beyond finding ways to say what they are against in new rhetorical spins. And so a first run at a new New Deal (hasn’t this been tried before?) is amiss.
The impulse isn’t wrong. And rather than just complain or wax about how they just need a new superman or wonderwoman, I wanting to expend a few minutes trying to help. Here’s what I came up with:
- Fire Trump, Rehire America
- Steady wins the race
- Serious times call for serious people
- A brighter future
- Everyone in, everyone can win
- American values in action
- Governing well is better than a good slogan
- Time for a clean slate
- America uncompromised
- We can do better
- Remember what we have to lose
- Repair, restore, reimagine
- Hope is still the right direction
- By the people, for the people
- We hold these truths . . .
- Tomorrow can be better than today
- We must do better
- The world is watching
- Asking something of one another
- Remembering the promises of America
- Accepting a sacred trust
