So you think Democrats should tell people to talk like humans and make a point of rejecting nonsense words like “birthing person,” “unhoused,” and “latinx”? Good. We agree! Now, let’s go win elections, me and you. ♡

Ah yes, condescending and trying to control people. That's a good look for democrats. Tell me - how many of these terms did you first hear by someone using them earnestly, and how many by a conservative complaining about liberals using them?
Elected Dems used “defund the police” Stupid.
Again - where did you FIRST hear the term? And which elected dems? How many? Was it widespread? Did party platforms or policies reflect this?
Yes, that is a stupid claim
Fact. Google it.
lol
That term isnt on the list lmao
Activists started using it and many elected Democrats were tripping over each other in the rush to decry it.
Not loud enough. They got tarred with it. Doesn’t matter if it’s unfair. They lost. BTW, what is your plan to flip TX?
Health care, green energy jobs, and not buying into right-wing framing like you and Colin Allred have done.
I generally agree with you. But you gotta show TX voters you ain’t a lefty loon. Whether fair or not. That’s what I mean by having to do “ridiculous and distasteful stuff” - you shouldn’t have to fend off FNC propaganda, *but the propaganda works,* so unfortunately you gotta deal with it.
You don't deal with it by signaling to voters you're a fickle coward by who'll shove your own supporters under the bus at the first sign of pushback.
Which ones? Be specific
Name them.

An article written in 2024 bringing up that in 2020 Harris said that the Defund the Police movement was right for pointing out how we are excessively funding police at the expense of schools and other public services, and more police funding doesn't mean less crime. Do you think she was wrong?
She should never have associated with an obviously stupid and harmful slogan like “defund the police.” Obviously stupid. Democrats that associated themselves with stupid nonsense like that have their heads so far up their own asses they deserve to lose. Rs are criminals, wish Ds weren’t losers.
How then, in your mind, should she have answered the question "What do you think of the Defund the Police movement?"
“That’s crazy, we should INCREASE funding for police departments. They keep our streets safe and our cities prosperous. But also we should root out abuses, get rid of bad cops, and that policing should be done in partnership *with* the community. I know: I was a enforcement officer myself.”
So basically, advocate to make the problem worse while turning her back on an extremely motivated grassroots movement. People who could have easily been converted into canvassers, doners, phone bankers, etc are now not only dissuaded from voting for her, they're likely to campaign against her.
The movement will continue to use the slogan "Defund the Police" It will still be attached to the democrats. And the people who vote for "tough on crime" politicians still won't vote for her.
Nope. Big tent. I want a big tent. And BTW I don’t actually think canvassing, donations, or phone banking matters much at all. Winning swing voting by taking popular positions wins.
We don’t deserve to lose. MGP does.
You're completely captured the propaganda that being near a "bad phrase" means that Democrats support everything associated with that "bad phrase". Funny how that never happens to Republicans. They're never punished because of an association with a phrase like "they're murderers and rapists".
I didn’t say it was fair, it’s not. I can’t make the world fair. All I can do is fight on an uneven playing field.
Or "grab them by the pussy". Weird, huh?
Yeah, how dare she say that we should look at priorities and maybe not buy police departments an M1-A Abrams tank and close schools. You've been played, player, and you don't even realize it. Kamala Harris did not say "defund the police". Try again.
She came close enough to cause herself problems
"Close enough" you mean she mentioned the words. You're angry at the wrong people but it's the people that the propagandists in the media *want* you to be mad at. So they won.
The world is unfair. I am far more angry with the media and Republicans than I am with Dems. But requesting fairness isn’t in the cards right now. Our fate is to fight in an unfair fight. But fight we must. Even if it’s distasteful or ridiculous that we have to hold our side to unfair standards.
Is cisgender a nonsense word
To most people. Just say “not trans” if you want people to understand you. Perfectly good word for sociology textbooks, but people hate jargon. Drop it for most situations.
nah i'm good you're cis
You are asking them to not do a thing they aren't doing, and repeatedly raising the issue (that does not exist) serves only to keep it an issue
what the fuck is these people's obsession with 'latinx'? oh, and can they point to one time Harris or Walz said it (no)?
They shouldn't though
jesus does it physically hurt being this fucking stupid?
