You’ve all gone to “it isn’t happening” to “ok, it gets used in law, but Democrats aren’t saying it and voters aren’t hearing it” in record time.

I do think that the distinction between rhetoric and the wording in laws is an important line to draw. Voters care about what a law does and how it is sold. I do not think how something is phrased in a law or policy proposal matter unless it changes what the law actually does

They care. Democrats would be wise to stop handing effective weapons to the propagandists who use that phrasing to effectively portray Dems as weirdos that shouldn’t be near power.
