Democratic troubles revive debate over left-wing buzzwords From “intersectionality” to “equity,” many say jargon is alienating key voters. But progressives say inclusive language is vital.

“Not every person we meet is going to have the latest update on what the proper terms are,” Gallego said. “It doesn’t make them sexist or homophobic or racist. Maybe they are a little outdated, but they have a good heart.”

Buzzwords, buzzkill.

The story people tell themselves for absolution.

“The death of his daughter, Peter told me, was God’s will. God created measles. God allowed the disease to take his daughter’s life. ‘Everybody has to die,’
he said.”

A key, decades-old conservative insight is that people like most of what government does, so their only hope of victory is to relentlessly abstract away from anything specific to "government" or "spending" or "bureaucracy," empty linguistic vessels into which they can more easily pour bile.

Vance is malleable. If Trump were to resign, it would be for reasons.

Those reasons would cause Vance to change.

Dear manager, this week I acheived these goals.

1: I wrote a bullet point.

2: I wrote a second, equally clever bullet point.

3: Building on prior successful bullet points, I developed and implemented a third bullet point.

4: I drafted, edited and published a 4th bullet.

5: Egged a cybertruck

In detective shows (even the good ones) love how suspects/witnesses interviewed in the field continue doing their tasks.

Latest: Teen boy is interviewed about burying a newborn. Learns his girlfriend almost died from the birth.

He continues changing a tire.

There are no lines at the Shoreline Costco.

Also, the snack center (hot dogs, pizza) is closed for renovation.

These two things may be related.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

TRUMP WAR ON EASTER

1 year ago 148 24 3 1

Once again:

Things were cheaper under Trump than Biden.

Under Obama than Trump.

Under Dubya than Obama.

Under Clinton than Bush.

Etc.

Campaign’s over. Drop the b.s. or have it shoved in your face as prices rise, which they will unless there’s a depression.

Then you can “celebrate.”
