Found this pamphlet from the '22 campaign during my research:
Milwaukee NAACP pamphlet from 1922 stating "Victor L. Berger for Human Rights Supreme"

Good messaging would embrace the former and encompass the latter. I really think the Dems could more or less copy and paste from the 1944 Liberal Party Platform:
Image of the platform, reading: "Our party believes that once the war is over our country should undertake a drastic program of domestic reconstruction. This program should be guided by and committed to the attainment of the following purposes: The unrestricted use of science and technology in the public interest. The progressive release of the productive energies of the nation. The achievement of full employment. The guarantee to the worker of the rights and freedoms of his job. The maintenance of the rights of workers to join free and independent trade unions, and to bargain collectively. The reduction of the concentration of economic power in private hands. The reduction of inequalities in income. The encouragement of private enterprise by individuals and groups to take the initiative and risk involved in launching new productive activity. The protection of legitimate private enterprise from monopolistic encroachment. The promotion of conditions favorable to small business. The abolition of poverty and depressed areas in both city and country. The extension of health, educational and cultural services to all. The conservation and rational use of natural resources. The maintenance of civil and political liberties for all, regardless of race, color, or creed.
