Just how are libs/progressives/Democrats supposed to shame, pass around talking points and propagandize if they stop using half their vocabulary?

Forgot to set the stage-

Quote:

---

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."

I have a college degree and I have no ****ing idea what 90% of those words mean.

Three words you left out:

Germans
Bomb
Moon

Wtf is "othering" ?

Some of those are ridiculous terms, but others are common everyday words (stakeholders for example). But, democrats are all about words and phrases, never actions.

The problem with the majority of those words is not that they use them, it's HOW they use them.

The point sails over their heads once again...

See those people over there? They're not like us, we don't like them, we're against them, their others.

The academics aren't going to be able to put two sentences together. All those ivory tower words that were so thought out and proudly espoused amongst the elites are getting dumped into the ash bin of history. Poor babies.

Left out "democrat".

I'd rather dump THEM into the ashbin of history and preserve their *******ization of the English language in a Museum of the Insane.

This memo is from Third Way. Who are they?

Third Way is a national think tank and advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C., founded in 2005 by former Clinton administration staffers.

The Clintons are STILL trying to run the democratic party. Will the dems listen?

I think "stakeholder" needs to remain, no?

I mean, that has long had other, legitimate uses.

Come on man, don't you know that Democrats own all words. What they say goes.

What about the eye roll-provoking phrase, "threat to democracy"?

They wouldn't know the meaning of the word democracy if it was pegging them.

It's just the continuation of their faux elitism. They take words from woke academia and try to force them into cultural norms.

It's awkward and stupid to talk like that but they're Democrats so they can't fathom operating any other way

Real Question:
When will conservatives stop calling every damn thing "woke"? I swear it is a catch all for everything.

I think they mean this.

No more privilege? No more existential threats or systems of oppression?


Some of these aren't just words, they are entire topics that democrats will never be able to avoid bringing up.

It's hilarious that they want to remove Overton Window, which is the acceptable dialogue that is permitted in polite society.

When all of their terms and platforms are way outside the Overton window. Instead of taking Overton Window out of your acceptable terms, how about teaching your talking heads what the Overton Window actually is and how to stay within it.

If they realized a decade ago what is acceptable debate, they would never be in this position of having to try and keep their idiots from saying these idiotic terms.

While we are at it, please remove any and all modifiers from "justice".

There is either justice, or not justice. You can't modify justice (ie social justice, climate justice, etc)

This. I have seen a number of Trump supporters using this term as well. A lot of what Trump is doing is moving the Overton Window in political dialogue toward the direction he prefers.

Listen closely and you can hear it through the din of their all-caps Trumpian X feeds, their hourslong "manosphere" podcast interviews and their more frequent swearing.

This has really stood out lately; all the cussing and yelling. After a year of so of studying how to reach out to younger men, this is what Democrat consultants and politicians came up with. It's so insincere and transparent.

Beto said the "F" word, he's one of us!!! Corey Booker yells and loses his temper like dumb rednecks like me!

People that use "stakeholder" need to be burned at the steak.

Never happens for without the victim mentality which the above represents, there would be no Democratic party.

Is this list even real ? if you look at LGBT in the graphic and it is missing the other 48 number/letter combo options that make up LBGT. Not sure this is real


Edit: In the last 5 minutes, 16 more number /letter options have been addd to LGBT. This HAS to be fake list

They forgot migrant, diversity, equity, equality, inclusion, migrant, Maryland Man, POC, and I could go on and on…

I haven't worked my way thru the entire thread yet… but two words/phrases that get me are:

"My truth"

And

"Unprecedented"

I hear those and I'm out.
