I don't disagree that NGOs should be more careful in their demands of campaigns on both policy and language, but third ways memo is an absurd overreach utterly unsupported by data.

This is correct, Democrats need to talk like normal people in order to win elections, but Third Way has a political agenda here and I don’t agree with it. But most importantly, yes, where would we be if ACLU didn’t make Harris answer the question about trans prisoners. Biden notably skipped it.

And one lesson for NGOs is that candidates will just skip their questionnaires next time if they're doing that sort of thing

But will they skip it? I’m extremely concerned that Dem elected are listening to consultants both too far to the left and too far to the right and neither faction is in touch with reality.
