As reported at The Politico, here are the 45 words that Democrats should never utter again. Words do matter. However, Democrats seem to think they can talk their way out of the political wilderness. Really is that possible? Are they even capable of heeding this warning?
If Democrats don't use words like microaggression, privilege, existential threat to [the climate, democracy, economy], Triggering, Food insecurity, Pregnant people, LGBTQIA+, Incarcerated people, and Cisgender, what would they have to say?
In a new memo, shared exclusively with POLITICO, the center-left think tank Third Way is circulating a list of 45 words and phrases they want Democrats to avoid using,
Alleging the terms put “a wall between us and everyday people of all races, religions, and ethnicities.” It’s a set of words that Third Way suggests “people simply do not say, yet they hear them from Democrats.”
They span six categories — from “therapy speak” to “explaining away crime” — and put in sharp relief a party that authors say makes Democrats “sound like the extreme, divisive, elitist, and obfuscatory, enforcers of wokeness.”
