As some of you – at least those with a TV or an internet connection – know, the United States will have a midterm election on November 6. Although the Democratic party is hoping to win the majority in both House of Representatives and the Senate, it doesn’t seem to be trying really hard, since Democrats don’t even have a party slogan which is anywhere near as recognizable as slogans “Make America Great Again”, “America First”, or “Lock Her Up” that helped the Republican party win the Presidency and the majority in both chambers of Congress in 2016. So here are 10 slogans that may help the Democratic party win in 2018.
1) We Come Closer To Beating Republicans Than Any Other Party!
2) Donald Trump-Free Since 2006!
3) The Lefter Of Two Evils!
4) At Least We Don’t Complain How Terrible The Government Is At The Same Time As We Run It.
5) Free Transgender Bathrooms For Everyone!
6) Not Currently Owned By The Russians!
7) The Poor Man’s Republican Party!
8) We Know The Nazis Are Bad!
9) Delivering The Job Creation and Economic Growth Promised By The Republicans!
10) Our president is smarter than your president!
“Does it matter who wins…you lose”

My fave is “we know Nazis are bad!” Pretty much says it all.

There’s been a lot of confusion about that in the recent couple of years.

It ranks right up there with “evil isn’t good”.

Google used to use “Don’t be evil” as their philosophical corporate code of conduct. Look how THAT’S turned out! It’s telling that that slogan was subsequently dropped.

Almost every company eventually comes around to using “Maximize Shareholder Value” slogan, and any other slogan they may still nominally keep (like “Don’t be evil”) will be followed only to the extent that it doesn’t interfere with the first slogan.

That is also confusing, actually, because definition of evil varies from person to person – like, some people think Nazis are evil, and some think universal health care is evil.

I am to undergo a medical procedure on the 6th. I’m going to ask them to monitor the election returns and if things don’t go the way I’d like, to just leave me under sedation for two years.

I hope you realize that if they leave you sedated for 2 years, you’ll wake up to a 7 figure medical bill, in part because if the things really don’t go well on the 6th, the insurance companies will stop covering pre-existing conditions (defined as any medical condition that began more than a second ago).

So I hope both procedures on the 6th go well.

That sounds like a typical Republican anti-elitist slogan, actually. 🙂

“If we could vote as often as we wanted, we’d win every time” – is this in reference to how they used to do elections in Chicago? 🙂

Yes. In the words of Johnnie Carson: “Returns are not yet in from the outlying cemeteries.”

“We will make things less bad. Maybe. We’ll at least try. But it’s really hard to do stuff. Please, give us a shot.” And then a photo of a sunrise or forest or some shit.

That is probably a more accurate Democratic slogan than any of mine, and is an example why no one remembers Democrat’s slogans – to fit one on a bumper sticker, you’d need to drive a bus.

These are all too painfully – and hilariously – true. That is one thing the Republicans have on Democrats – organization. Republicans will rally behind the simplest and stupidest slogans “WE GOT GUNS”, “WHITE MAKES YOU BETTER”, “EDUCATION BAD”, etc., and they will get to the poles in a snowstorm at -20 degrees even if they have to shovel a bit of snow in front of their giant SUVs to get there. Democrats are like “Well I dunno – a repeat of Pioneer House is on PBS . . . and we never win anyway.” Yeah, because you never vote like 50 percent of the population, you idiots!
It makes me want to smack all their together, but they are the best we’ve got.
Democrats: At least they aren’t Republicans?
Democrats: Pretty sure they aren’t dating Putin.
Democrats: Maybe we’ll get some balls eventually?
