Twitter Reacts to Democrats Slogan Because It Resembles Papa John's Tagline

Every politician knows that people like two things: money and pizza. Put them together, and you've got a winning campaign.

Or so you'd think.

Last night on Twitter, Jeff Stein of Vox announced that a new slogan for the Democratic party was coming down the pike. The slogan? "A Better Deal: Better Skills. Better Jobs. Better Wages." Hey, better is better.

I shouldve corrected this immediately; I've deleted original tweet. Full slogan is "A Better Deal: Better Skills, Better Jobs, Better Wages"

It doesn't look like "A Better Deal" is going to do the trick, though.

Shortly after Stein reported the new slogan, people on Twitter piled on to point out how "Better Skills. Better Wages. Better Jobs." was not only an uninspiring message, but also does not focus on what many on the left are rallying around, namely more social programs, like single-payer healthcare.

Please God someone tell me this is not real. This is the shittiest slogan I have ever seen. Fire the consultant who created it right now. https://t.co/mrwtJONdss

If your slogan uses a colon or a comma, back to the drawing board.

That the Dems couldn't just say "Better Jobs, Better Wages" without leading off with "Better Skills" is incredibly telling

Imagine working on a slogan to organise around (for months/nearly a year) and coming up with "Better skills. Better jobs. Better wages"

As if that wasn't rough enough, the slogan is also reminding people of something far worse: Papa John's Pizza. The third most popular pizza chain in the U.S., Papa John's has been running the tagline "Better Ingredients. Better Pizza. Papa John’s." for years, so it didn't take long for people to make the connection.

"Papa John's: Better Ingredients, Electoral Victories" is a uh bad approach https://t.co/nCYV6AgOMi

…Better ingredients make better pizza

But NOT "Better Ingredients" so I'll be sticking with Papa John's thank you very much https://t.co/ewenUZkZuK

Worst of all, the slogan doesn't even come with a pepperoncini and garlic sauce.

This reaction is getting very familiar. Compared to 2016, the Democrats aren't exactly having a "Better Year." Following Hillary Clinton's historic loss to Donald Trump in the Presidential Election,, the Democrats have yet to have a major victory in either the House or Senate, aside from stalling President Trump. Adding insult to injury, after a series of bump stickers hit the Internet last week, many were quick to criticize the political party for not learning the lessons from 2016.

The parodies apparently didn't make an impression on the Democrats. But who knows, maybe they'll offer some free pizza or a large Coke if you vote for them.
