sloganizing
Crafting catchy phrases
Sloganizing is reducing complex ideas to catchy phrases or mottos.
The term usually carries a negative connotation—oversimplifying nuanced issues into bumper-sticker rhetoric: The candidate was sloganizing rather than offering real policy solutions.
Political campaigns and advertising are frequently accused of sloganizing.
