So there's no reason for the term "unhoused" it's not meant to be used instead of "homeless". If a term is said to be preferred you really don't think people will take that to heart and tell others to use it? You're being purposely obtuse, I suspect.

I agree with you! I don't use the term "unhoused." I agree that people should not "correct" plain English with not-plain English. If someone else wants to say it, they can have at it. It's no skin off my nose. But how is any that a problem for Democrats writ large?

Because it's coming from Democrats (the left generally) and it's pissing people off.

So it's a problem for all Democrats? Instead of just a poor interaction with a particular person? Can you at least see the problem I have with that?

Do you have the word "example" in your vocabulary? Because that one would actually be a good one to add. Yes, it's a problem it happens enough that there's a broad general conversation about it.

OK I'm honestly not trying to poke you, and I sense I am so I'll leave this. I only want to say that the demands to insist that people say or not say certain things are pretty much per se unreasonable. Regardless of where they come from.
