"Have You seen the other guys?"

Seriously? THAT's the DNC's slogan for 2018?

Ugh, I hope it dies a quick and painful death, and is replaced, along with the morons who thought it up, with something a bit more substantive and issue oriented.

Update:

Apparently the DNC is asking folks to vote on a number of slogans, including this one:

Google the slogan, and you should see a blue square logo with the slogan on it.

Already posted on a couple other forums.

Someone needs to get a clue that we're fighters and we need a fighter's message. And not something esoteric like "and yet she persisted".

Winners!

"It's the economy stupid!"

"Yes we can!"



"Have you seen the Other Guys?" and, yes, "Stronger Together" ain't half bad if you ask me.

The DNC leadership is pretty damned appalling these days. First they lose the donkey (and a buttload of elected offices) and now this -- they are flailing about and clearly need a serious shake-up.

That this is just an excuse to get you to reply so they can collect your personal data for fundraising requests?

In the parlance of the fundraising community, this is known as a "butterfly net".

Obviously it's just a way to collect email addresses, but I am sure they will announce a "winner" and use that slogan on some stickers.

It does make it a DCCC slogan if they are putting it on stickers and distributing those stickers on behalf of the DCCC.

For those us willing to listen to criticism from the left and from wavering mass of "independent" voters one of their biggest complaints is that the Dems primary selling point is "At least we're not the GOP" and has been for years. If the DCCC seriously played into that line of thought they can kiss the House, the Senate and the United States goodbye.
