Two powerful, strong words that describe what Democrats are about.
We deliver!
The Republicans make empty promises just to get elected. But, the Democrats always have and always will deliver on their promises. For eight years under Clinton, we delivered peace and prosperity. For the last 6 years, under Republican leadership, they gave us war, recession and corruption.
In all the conversation about simplifying and framing the message or building a narrative for the Democratic Party, the `We Deliver' narrative would strike a chord that resonates most strongly with the public's frustration with corrupt and incompetent Republican leadership. It says simply that Democrats can govern effectively and honestly.
Republican talking heads have been asking, "What do Democrats stand for?" And we have been slow to respond. But, the answer is, we stand for all the things the American people hope for, but have been denied by the current leadership. We stand for security, a strong military, a strong economy, protection of our basic rights and freedoms as guaranteed by the Constitution, education, decent wages, health care and all the things our opponents claim so fallaciously to stand for.
But, the big difference is, as Democrats We Deliver!
A narrative only two words long, but sending a powerful message that contrasts greatly, the differences between the two parties. It is not an ideological frame; it is simply about the competent and honest governance that Democrats can best provide.
