DCCC 2018 Slogan Parodies refer to photoshops made in mockery of potential campaign slogans sent out by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for the 2018 United States midterm elections.

Origin

On July 5th, 2017, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee sent out an email to those subscribed to their email list asking them to vote on one of four potential slogans for the upcoming 2018 midterm elections. The choices were "Resist, Persist," "She Persisted, We Resisted," "Democrats 2018: I Mean Have You Seen The Other Guys?", and "Make Congress Blue Again" (email^[1] shown below).

Spread

The email was immediately met with criticism, frustration, and mockery from left-leaning members of Twitter, who found the slogans reactionary and uninspiring.^[2] That afternoon, dozens of photoshopped edits of the campaign slogans were posted to Twitter in mockery of the feckless messages the DCCC was considering making their official slogan. For example, Twitter user @jimpjorps^[3] uploaded a slogan that read "Remember when Drumpf said Covfefe," gaining over 340 retweets and 1,400 likes (shown below, left). @Boringstein^[4] uploaded a version that read "We'd sooner let you die before alienating our voters," referencing many Democrats refusal to push for single-payer healthcare, and gained 439 retweets and 1,200 likes. The spread of the jokes was covered by The Daily Dot,^[2] Mediaite,^[5] Daily Caller,^[6] and more.
