Having Lost Election After Election, Democrats Give New Slogans A Whirl

This is cute. During Obama’s presidency, the Democrats lost 1,042 seats at the state and federal levels, which includes legislative seats and governorships, and the the presidency. Since the election of Donald Trump (note to Dems: he won the only election count that matters per our Constitution), Dems haven’t done much better in special elections. So, what to do? New slogans!

Dems try new slogan: ‘Have you seen the other guys?’[2]

The campaign arm for House Democrats on Wednesday tried out a new slogan: “I mean, have you seen the other guys?”

The sticker slogan, one of several floated as part of a fundraising effort by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), caused a stir on social media, where many wondered why the party would try out such a self-deprecating campaign line.

“Not exactly the most inspiring slogan, @dccc,” wrote ProPublica reporter Derek Willis.

“Dems are asking people to vote on a new sticker and I’m not sure anyone in history has been as bad as this,” tweeted Adam Serwer, a senior editor for The Atlantic.

Here’s what they look like

Yikes! More like “She persisted! She Lost!”

Hey, how about “Abortion on demand is awesome!” Or “we think Everyone Else should pay the price for our belief in climate change!”  “You don’t mind seeing your cost of living skyrocket, right?”

The NRCC decided to get in on the act and troll the losing Democrats

We like this slogan better

Of course, in all fairness, if the GOP doesn’t get a real Obamacare repeal and replacement done, not that garbage the House and Senate have been peddling, you could see Congress flip fully by the end of Trump’s first term.
