Pirate Party memes

Yeah, this is more like what we need. Information conveyed in a short, concise way that potential voters can understand. Comic strips are a perfect medium for that; Throw in a bit of humor to make it worth reading, steer clear of the memes and unoriginal content, and suddenly you’ve got a half decent advertising campaign.

I wonder if the concept of a policy infographic/webcomic should be a separate topic. If you think so, can you make another post on it @Jawzper ?

So anyhow… maybe a good campaign would be all about having every single poster and advertising material go to this single policy comic? You could use html anchors to jump to specific section of the policy comic, if the reader came from a advertisement on a specific policy point.

tl;dr: As a redditor, I suggest you guys to just drop the idea of dank memes, and focus on a single good quality visual policy summary that gets straight to the point about what you guys are trying to sell. From there, you would structure various advertisements or campaign to get people to go to this single policy document that is digestible for the ordinary citizen (But has links to the full policy document for those who are more interested)

“Lots of unions are investing heavily in social media strategy, but we’ve taken dankness and totally doubled down on it,” said George Simon, national strategy and communications director for the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union (AMWU).

Just saying …

All the more reason to avoid this approach… and to consider the other approach I mentioned in the post above in Pirate Party memes

I find the internet community at large gets very possessive of memes that were generated for fun that get used for commercial OR political purposes. at all.

that said…

oh hey whats this

Why? Because it works for one of the largest unions in Australia?

The difference is that they know how to pull if off without it being Cringefest 2016.

Not a meme, but a simple to the point no frills How to vote card that can easily be printed off by anyone at home and shared around:

(if this was approved - or something similar like the comic idea - I would literally buy some recycled paper and use up all the spare ink toner I have and put this in everyone’s letterbox in town)

Playing with TLDR … many thanks to others for the ideas I … borrowed :slight_smile:

Ok, this one to encourage activity while I learn Gimp.

Here’s a bunch of policy based banners usable for things such as in tweets where we may share a news article about something that we can relate back to our platform. eg: https://twitter.com/piratepartyau/status/734566918317821953

Adding an image should help make such a tweet stand out more. Ideally such tweets will link to either a news article or to a specific section of our platform. Or both. Use as you see fit. Feel free to suggest new ones/new lines of text etc for new such banners anywhere below.

Something different …

Do we really want to say preference all of the boxes above the line? I won’t be voting past the majors because all the mad Christians and racists/ fascists are awful and knowing who to put where is a crap shoot.

Vote for whoever you f*cking like

I’d use that online but not on paper, people drag their kids along to the booth and it’d be backlash bait.

There’s no point writing it as “f*cking”. If you want to say “fucking”, just say it and say it with pride :wink:
