Marketing idea for the DCCC.

With pro and college football season almost upon us, many people nationwide will start driving around with car flags showing the logos of their favorite team.

I have an idea for our party to do the same thing leading up to November.
What if we created a car flag that has a donkey riding a big blue wave 🌊.
One side of the car flag could have the donkey on the wave and the other would say VOTE DEM.
The National Dem party and state parties could sell them and/or give some to volunteers who canvass and phone bank.
Could also have Blue Wave bumper stickers.

Good idea?
If so, someone with contacts at the National party office please pass it along to someone there who could make it happen.
Go Dems! Ride the Blue Wave 🌊!!!

Surfer Donkey


Surfer Donkey dude...riding the wave...catchin' the curl...alright..


The surfer donkey are large mammals, members of the Surfisthus family, which are found primarily along coastal areas. Unlike their working cousins, the Jackasses, surfer donkeys are often viewed as idiots, burnouts and slackers because they'd rather hang four than work.

Despite their moves on the waves, the surfer donkey remains relatively motionless while on its board; they rather have their boards to skim the water in a "devil may care" fashion. This philosophy often puts them on bad odds with nature as their center of gravity is relatively high. This problem however is compensated by their slothlike moves that somehow make up for their lack of style.

Ours is not “surfing donkey”...it’s “blue wave Dem”.
Our donkey mascot might already be trademarked.

But, I like the idea of the donkey riding the blue wave.
It adds a little humor and democratic recognition.
