Trust me when I say where I live to a lot of people, the words on that list are excessively lofty language. People come in all shapes, sizes, and levels of intelligence and we have to speak in a way that is understood by every voter and that means using plain speak. Unless you like to lose elections

"Know your audience" is a good rule to follow. Attempts to forbid certain terms from discussion by anyone, however, is a dangerous slippery slope. Have we already forgotten maga's list of banned "woke" words in FL? That's authoritarian Repuke censorship BS.

I swear there are those who would rather keep their pet terms and phrases even if it will mean we will get a President Vance.

I swear some people are so reactionary they want to censor & demonize basic language in every venue, as if censorship is the solution to all our political corruption. Ironic, since Shady Vance is solidly in the censorship camp himself. Dems... Desperate to squash & ban words for topics to avoid

Thanks for proving my point. Do you really not get that if the Democrats don't handily win the next election there will not be another one? You may be willing to play that game of roulette. I am not.

Still waiting for your solution. Time's up. You obviously have nothing coherent or effective to offer here.

LOL @5trees.bsky.social and I have been quite clear about the solution which is both clear and effective. Maybe you should go back and read it.
