President Biden's Campaign Slogan

President Obama was famous for Hope and Change. I have been thinking about what President Biden should consider,

I think his slogan should have democracy in it, such as, Hands Off My Democracy. Something forceful.

It needs to be a choice between democracy and autocracy, not between Democrats and Republicans.

Hands Off My Democracy may be a bit corny, but something similar to that.

6. 'Dismantling Trickle Down Economics"

His 2-1/2 years in office have been primarily about 1 thing, taking apart Trickle Down and finally rebuilding the middle class.

Every single policy, every single law, every single action is aimed at helping working people. There are so many details that get missed in all of these huge laws. Pro union details, pro worker details, pro middle class details.

Even his envrinomental laws are packed to the gills with provisions that assure dollars go to union shops. The dispersment of this money comes with string like, "must use X amount of union labor." "Must be buiolt in the US." and "Must go to states that support workers and unions." Every single thing is loaded with these types of things to help working people. Literally thousands upon thousands of details and provisions in his 5 giant legislative accoimplishments that aim towards helping working people and the poor. You would literally need an encyclopedia sized set of volumes to detail all of the ways Joe Biden has helped working people. Even here on DU people are unaware of most of them.

He's talked about ending Trickle Down out on the trail recently.

I think it would be a home run slogan "END TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS!" People hate Trickle Down, and everything Republicans say and stand for can easily be identified as Trickle Down Economics.

people who know what the term "trickle down" means and remember Reaganomics. So it works well for certain demographics and we can target them with it.

Save America For Everyone

I like the acronym for these times when so many feel unsafe due to guns, prejudice, and J6.

There needs to be a lazer focused plan in place and implemented like never before!


My suggestions:
1. See what DNC has already organized.
https://democrats.org/take-action/

Count on people to post more specific information as the election gets closer.

2. I am always full of suggestions for talking points.
https://democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=18281737

And depending on your district/state and community, you might talk up points that will appeal to specific people you know.
I live in reddest California, and would love to flip a whole lot of house seats!
That would be great!

3. Joe Biden's strategy at this time is focusing on Protecting democracy and individual rights.

And that applies to ALL maga extremists, so the message applies everywhere, and against every one of them.

That's within our locus of control.
I would like to see some forceful action taken at higher levels.

Tommy Tuberville continues to block hundreds of military appointments
JD Vance is blocking Justice Dept appointments
Rand Paul is blocking State Dept appointments
Republicans are threatening to shut down the government
Jan 6 was just practice. The coup continues to this day


Anything we can do to stop fascism in its tracks will help.
