"For The People" reminds me of the Margaret Thatcher quote, "Socialists cry, 'Power to the people!" and raise a clinched fist as they say it, but we know what they really mean: power over people; power to the state."Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God
From "Fools Gold" by Petra

Slogans aside it seems obvious that the Dems should position themselves on the side of the people over and against the Swamp of Republicans/Trump etc. An anti-corruption message should have traction with the voters."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

Can't you come up with a better Democrat strategy than trying to hypocritically co-opt Trump's winning platform?
On a related note, a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC poll showed that Trump's approval rating continues to tick upwards despite Democrats hilariously wringing their hands and yelling, "Russia! Russia! Russia!"

"For the People" is painfully generic. Whatever one may have thought of the policies underlining them, "Yes, We Can!" and "Make America Great Again" were catchy slogans that stuck in your head. And while "Yes, We Can" was a bit generic, it still had at least some level of specificity, whereas "For the People" doesn't. Granted, I'm not sure how much slogans matter--did anyone actually change their votes based on them?--but "For the People" is just weak.
Something like "Building Bridges, Not Walls" (a proposed slogan for the Libertarian Party 2018 Convention, though they went with something else) would've been a lot better.

Originally posted by Psychic Missile View PostHopefully this slogan, as bland as it may be, signals a shift among Democratic leaders to lean more into liberal policies rather than the neoliberalism that cost them the election. I can't help but suspect their appeal to liberals is only lip service, but time will tell.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
