There are distinct phases, to building such a movement, and we are at the absolute beginning point, where perhaps 99.9% of Americans have never heard of the idea. Thus the sugar-daddy funder seems like the best launching funding. I look at Luca Belgiorno-Nettis who founded new Democracy in Australia as an example. He was tired of politicians hitting him up for d\campaign contributions. While we are familiar with the framing that "the wealthy buy politicians," the flip side of that coin is that "politicians extort money from the wealthy with the threat of policies that will harm them." So... how do we find Silicon valley multi-millionaires or billionaires who are thoroughly disgusted with politics as usual and ALSO cannot stomach Trump (who is the default politics as usual wrecker)?
We also need to have many actual implementations as a proof of concept (and sadly these need to be in the United States, since it is well proven that experience outside the U.S. is considered irrelevant for some reason.) To achieve that, we will probably need to work with certain local and state politicians, so civic assemblies can have actual impact. But, at the next stage of development when we go mass-funding, the slogan you are seeking that can have MASS APPEAL could be something like REAL DEMOCRACY MEANS NO MORE POLITICIANS! Uniting left right and center around disdain for politicians is a winning message. (But that needs to wait until a few of them have helped launch a bunch of CAs.
