      "Better skills" AKA, "damnit, we'll redouble our commitment to neoliberalism even if it's the last thing we do."

          I don't understand people who say they don't know what the Dems stand for. Dems are not cutting healthcare, Dems are not cutting EPA.

          Which of those slogans convey that?

          I'm just saying nit picking a slogan doesn't change what they would do if elected. It's clear what the differences are.

          Funny. The people who elected Trump disagree. Want to risk that again?

          I don't think a slogan will be the difference. If people get 4 years of Trump and want more, a slogan won't change that.

          what else could 'better skills' be in reference to? sure it's not a catchy slogan, but the idea is good.

          It's a shitty idea. Education does far more than teach skills. Boiling this down to skills is a soulless and factually incorrect approach

          skills get you jobs? how to write well, analyze, code, weld, &c. it's an old and proven policy.

          It's terrible because it makes it sound as if there's a skills shortage. Undermines efforts to allow tightening of labor market/raise wages.

          "Better?" Why not go all the way with "Comparatively Less Bad?"
