"Daily Show" writer and producer Matt Negrin prompted over 5,000 Twitter users to respond to his Wednesday tweet about potential slogans for the Democratic Party in 2018.
"The last text you sent is the Democrats' slogan for 2018," Negrin wrote on Twitter.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), and other Democratic leaders rolled out an economic message last week to rebrand the party going into the 2018 midterm election. Their new slogan is, "A Better Deal: Better Skills, Better Jobs, Better Wages."
House Speaker Paul Ryan's (R., Wis.) press secretary, AshLee Strong, mocked Democrats for taking seven months to come up with a slogan that is very similar to Republicans' "Better Way" slogan in 2016.
The slogan was even a major flop among several progressives and media figures who castigated it for sounding like the slogan of the pizza chain Papa John's, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
Twitter users responded to Negrin by offering their best slogans for Democrats based on their last texts.
