45 Words That Should Never Be Spoken by Democrats Ever Again!

OP, literally no one votes because of stuff like this.

No, they just bitch endlessly online about it.

I don't agree with all of them but a good 90% should go away. It just makes Democrats look like hippy dippy limbs smoking pot and coming up with silly names they want everyone in the Glamping tent to speak.

OP is on a rampage all over DL at the moment with these Fox News talking points. See also the Gavin Newsom threads and the why can't we drop the queers because all gay men are straight threads.

Where is “carceral state?!”

I was about to complain that we didn't lose because of language, but most if not all of the expressions on that list really are terrible. Just speak like an average dumb American, shouldn't be that hard.

R4, this list is from a LEFT leaning think tank, not Fox News. Sorry you can't face reality. Hate to burst your bubble, but I voted for Obama, Biden and Harris. I guess you want to sink the Democratic party again just so you can use Latinx or Cisgender in every others sentence.

Also R4, this list was just discussed on MSNBC.

[QUOTE] Sorry you can't face reality. Hate to burst your bubble, but I voted for Obama, Biden and Harris.

And what about 2016, R7? I see you conveniently left that out. Is it because you voted for TRUMP in that election? I knew it! You fucking MAGAT!!

I’m a gay man, not LGBTQ. Anything after LGB can fuck off and dilate.

1. Where's your FUCKING LINK then R7/OP.???? You should have posted it in your OP with an explanation about where it came from. You still haven't posted it. It's too late to lament about being hard done by and misunderstood now.

2. No I have never used either of those words and never would. Nor most on your list. In fact, I've have never heard anyone in real life use most of the words on your list (because if you can't provide a link then it's your list) - just academia types who live in an alternate "academic reality" which isn't grounded in the real world for 95% of the general populace.

3. As a gay man - I'd fully support [bold]YOU[/bold] fucking off and dilating your oversized, blown out asshole with the traffic cone we all know you use whenever you get the chance R10.

Here ya go r11

Next time post it in your OP cunt/R12.

[italic]Investigative journalist Lee Fang of The Nation alleges the Third Way think tank's ties to the Democratic Party are "tenuous" and that it exists to serve as a vehicle for corporate and right-wing interests to shape the economic policies of the party.[31] Writing in The Intercept, Akela Lacy describes Third Way as a "center-left, corporate and GOP donor-funded non-profit", which advocates for neoliberal policies.[/italic]

Once again I will state that I have never heard any real person use most of these words and acronyms except LGBT+. The whole list is academia style speak and not used in the real world by 95% of the population.

Huh?

R13, I am not the OP, but I hear these words bandied about all the time in the media just as much as I hear "Trump Derangement Syndrome" on the other side. I have never come across anyone in my real life use the word Deplorables, but I know it exists in media. Media is where most people exist anymore. So just because you have never come across any of these words in your real life doesn't mean they don't exist or don't have damaging effects to the perception of the Democratic Party. "Holding Space" was used incessantly during the Wicked press junket to an annoying degree.

If that were true they would not have made the list in the first place. The list is based on what research. It's irreverent what your personal experience is. MAGA and the right use these words to scare voters who get most of their info off the internet just like you do. It does not matter if you in your personal life do not here this in your daily interactions with people.

Their problem is not with the language, it’s with the ideas the language represents, whatever words are used to express them.

People don’t like to have their assumptions questioned . And they don’t like the status quo challenged.

r17 "Their problem is not with the language, it’s with the ideas the language represents, whatever words are used to express them."

No shit, Sherlock - that's how language works.

So, you think this organization is really advocating for abandoning the ideas behind the words? I don’t. Sherlock.

[quote]MAGA and the right use these words to scare voters who get most of their info off the internet just like you do.

I didn't know MAGA/right use the terms. Sad fuckers. But I get my information from a variety of sources - not just the Internet.

R15 - I didn't say I hadn't come across the terms, I said that 95% of the population doesn't use any of these words. What kinds of media are you consuming to hear Democrats and other people use these terms?

Could we delete the phrase “late stage capitalism” while we’re at it? It’s such a lazy and inaccurate phrase. It always sounds like it’s happened over and over again throughout history and has distinct phases that invariably repeat. And what will the next phase be?

R7 The third way isn’t “left” dummy, they’re hostile to the left wing, it’s the entire purpose of their existence actually.

i never hear these terms, where the fuck are you getting them?

Actually, there are people in real life who do use these words. I recently watched a video made by a self-described “activist” complaining about the condition of a light rail station in Newark. She tried to make it all about gender (claiming that women used light rail while men used heavy rail to commute into Manhattan). The condition of the station was all about “respect.”

Also, and more importantly, don't be the kind of person who uses those words.

Yeah, agree that's a terrible mindset that I see too often r24. That no problem can be real in itself. The underlying problem always has to be some version of sexism or racism or classism or homophobia or anti-trans or some damn thing. It can never just be, hey these train stations look like shit, let's try maintaining them and cleaning them up. It's always got to start with somebody's TED talk on the history of female oppression or some shit.

R24 And don’t forget how the “La Sombrita” debacle in LA was put forth as a “Gender Equity Action Plan”.

The fat chick herself in the photo at r27 would offer some shade to passersby,

Really r20? You’ve been living under a rock if you haven’t heard “Triggering” “Body Shaming” outside of the LGBTQ community. It’s all over TikTok and Instagram. I just think you’re being intentionally obtuse at this point instead of admitting you’re wrong. You can google anyone of the words and add Meme and you’ll see where they are being used/being made fun of.

I think the problem is a lot of those words are politically correct and people hate being corrected on their own speech. Even on the DL if one talks about Gay Pride event people jump all over you because it supposed to just be called Pride so all the LGBTQIA+++XYZ123 dont get offended. That's the kind of stuff people hate.

Straight people really hate suddenly having to identify using pronouns in a group setting to describe themselves. I have no problem with that but I was in a Meetup a while back and the one obvious Trans guy stopped the group organizer and insisted we use our gender pronouns as we introduce ourselves with our first names.

Truly, the people are crying out for focus-group-driven moderates to save them from fascism.

*eyes roll back into head, collapses*

PROBLEMATIC

Is “Inseminated Person” a polite reference to bottoms?

The reason we shouldn’t use this language is because it is weak. It’s begging for justice by shame, insinuation, and passive-aggressiveness.

When we demand justice in terms that are specific, material and direct, it will create confrontation with the right. Not mockery or ridicule. But that would require fighting for something real rather than losing at the game playing America’s hall monitor.
