Could try “A Square Deal” again.
The problem is the Dem’s have a bunch of older Arms. Who is the face of this party?
Old men and women without a lot of energy. New leadership away from the far left is needed.
She persisted, we resisted sounds like a woman tried to get me drunk to date rape me. But I got out of there. And that, officer, is why I was driving while intoxicated. It’s all there on the bumper sticker! Can’t you read?

First thing that came to my mind when I read the thread title.
I like “Fair Deal”. “Square” has some negative connotations. Using “all” in the slogan will make some think it’s the party for minorities of all types. I wouldn’t mind “Stop the Republican Free-for-All, It’s time to make America Fair for all.” but that’s a bit long.
“Stronger Together” and “I’m With Her” highlighted how narcissistic and out of touch Hillary is - they’re the candidate saying “I’m great, you should follow me because I’m great,” with overtones of “you should vote for my vagina-having-ness” in the second one. Meanwhile “Make America Great Again” talks about what Trump will do for you and the country, it isn’t about Trump except as the instrument of that change. Trump wasn’t short on self-aggrandizement, but he presented something more like “I’m great and I do things my own way and I’m going to do stuff for you people who get ignored and boost AMERICA” than “I’m qualified, I mean great, and the party says it’s time for me to be elected, so go elect me because it’s time to elect me”. When Donald Trump, a guy who likes writing his name in giant gold letters, manages to come up with a less self-centered campaign slogan than you, it says a lot.
I mean, it’s better than “It’s her turn”, which was seriously considered as a slogan by Clinton’s campaign staff, but it’s an awful idea to even consider. The biggest problem for Democrats in elections is generally low turnout, and a slogan that amounts to “We suck, we know we suck, but maybe the other guy sucks worse” doesn’t exactly encourage turnout. Do the Democrats really have no positive message to send? I really don’t get why they’re so afraid of sending positive messages or actual policy positions, it generally works well in politics (Reagan, Bill, W, Obama all had success with it in recent elections).
Truly awful, every one of them.
Why don’t they just go for full disclosure and brutal honesty:
“A slightly less awful choice than the Republicans!”
“Vote for Kodos, Kang has got you nowhere!”
“We won’t get anything done, but at least we’re not actively evil - vote Democrat!”
Experience, integrity, respect.
Great minds think alike. Twisted minds as well, apparently.
I’m not sure what that means, but I like it.
The only things I can think of this early on a Saturday is Ze Frank’s FILDI and a sad attempt at morphing “a chicken in every pot” to something contemporary. That last did not turn out well.
Too difficult to live up to. Especially the 2nd part. These are politicians we’re talking about.
I am seriously enjoying watching this thread. Every one of these slogans is great and I hope Democrats adopt them all. I especially like “A Fair Deal” and “Justice for All”. Those are definitely winning slogans.
“Embrace technocratic incrementalism.”
It’s hard to make a hip slogan for the Dems. The counter-culture energy is on the right. They’re the masters of edgy memes and trolling.

If you’re trying to think up worse slogan idea, I think you found one. In a race with two wildly unpopular candidates, both of whom spark absolute hatred from some opponents, using “I like Hillary” seems like something that might actually be worse than what she did. A lot of people voting for Hillary thought “I held my nose and voted for her because she’s not Trump, but damn” than anything approaching ‘like’, and that slogan would probably piss off every “at least she’s not Trump” voter to some degree, leading to even lower turnouts.
Well, duh. It doesn’t rhyme, and “I pillory Hillary” is a step in the wrong direction.
Those ideas are so bad, my first thought was that this had to be a faked survey. Oh well.
What I would LIKE to see, is for ONE of the parties turn away from sound-bite thinking altogether. Oh well to that too.
What we need, is leaders who propose real solutions for our real challenges. Not slogan crafters.
