FROM WASHINGTON EXAMINER: Democrats should speak more “like normal people” and examine their language, liberal think tank Third Way said in a memo.
The Democratic Party is scrutinizing its messaging, platform, and candidates that it’s marketing to Americans after a decisive 2024 election loss.
Third Way, in a memo addressed to “All Who Wish to Stop Donald Trump and MAGA” and titled, “Was it something I said?” believes Democrats “use an awful lot of words and phrases no ordinary person would ever dream of saying.”
The unfamiliar words and phrases fall under several categories, such as “therapy speak” and “explaining away crime.” They include privilege, patriarchy, holding space, microaggression, triggering, systems of oppression, the unhoused, pregnant people, incarcerated people, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and involuntary confinement.
A liberal think tank has spent a bunch of money on a study try to help Democrats not sound like lunatics.
