I was tempted to put this in Humor...but it can be politics or Culture. Should really be "For the People (As long as we get our cut)", but really, doesn't "For the People" has such a ring of bad Sci Fi politics (Honor Harringtons People Republic of Haven used it) or Atlas Shrugged government control? It is almost an excuse, not a slogan, and has been used many times before to justify imposing their will, taking away freedom, controlling markets. I bet Maduro in Venezuela sues them for copyright infringement, I think he has been using it for the last few years as well...

    You may not be much for slogans, but many people are. Perhaps most people.
    Especially if they have a relevant theme to them such as a portion of "of the people, by the people and for the people".
    It is a simplistic statement and probably shouldn't be rightly uttered by the Democrats (nor Republicans).
    However, my point is that it is a powerful slogan, and will serve well the interests of anyone using it.

    Weber was mentioned in my post as having used the same slogan in a Sci Fi series. Freedom, obviously has an interest in it. Sometimes posts will take their own road of free discussion, so this is the result. However, the I would not throw out the space alien theory too early at this point, they do have a declared pedeophile running in one state...

    Better summarized as,
    Freedom for the people (not!)

    Or

    For the people, from the people (via the meddling middlemen)

    It is a powerful and appealing slogan.

    John Morgan, in central Florida, has used that slogan in all of his legal advertising and is immensely popular.

    Weber, not mentioned in the article at all. With no source reference to support the arguments implication, how does this apply to the argument?

    Is this somehow implying that the Dumbocraps are going to run as space aliens?

    Politics was a wise choice as while this article does have it''s humorous points it's really a tragedy which is not the least humerous. Culture would also be an injustice as the article would more properly be deemed anti-culture.

    As the old saying goes, you can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig.

    "Democrats are in their best position in nearly a decade to regain control of the House largely because of an energized anti-Trump base seeking a check on the president. Midterms also historically favor the party not in control of the White House."

    Wishful thinking but based on an inability to actually face reality. Wonder if the RHINOs are going to finally cross to the party they actually represent?

    When me dino read that the initial message, "Better Deal," was openly mocked by some Jackass Party lawmakers, boy, did I enjoy one good long belly laugh.
    So the campaign slogan is "For The People," eh? How about "Power To The People" accompanied by a Commie-looking fist salute like I saw during the later 60s?
    The Jackass Party bosses will show the people who has the power should they get to take back the "crumbs" Princess Pelosi spoke of just before the economy took off.

    Well, yes, although Travis has progressed a little bit in his OCD, and you are correct on the use of females as "the real support". Although I have always liked his writing, and his battles are good. The Troy Rising series (all 3 books) are pretty good by John Ringo and are along the same type of writing, but much stronger males characters, I wish he would have continued it, but seems to have stalled.

    Weber's main male character in the recent series is a weak one who is continually overshadowed by the stronger, more admirable women characters. Its no accident that the 2 male characters are flawed and the women characters are oh so perfect. But he is damn good at writing battle scenes with inventive surprises.

    Well, that is a good version of the "new" slogan. DW books are good fun reads very detaied, many plots and sub plots and he is clearly enamored with women as a main character, he does have a new Manticore series with a male main character, so maybe he has heard the same complaint...

    They withheld the truth to cover up their true agenda. The whole slogan is
    "Chains and Enslavement For the People"

    As for Weber, he is the most unabashed biased multiculturist feminist in sci-fi. Virtually all his heroes are female or black or other non-white or a combination thereof. Virtually all his villains are white males. His love affair with monarchy is irrational rubbish, too.
    He does write very good space battles if you can manage to get through the hundreds of pages of molasses slow political intrigue and biased propaganda.
