And ANOTHER reason we Democrats lost and will continue to lose

82. Bravo!

The arrogance by some in this thread!

Basically saying, "well if they don't know what cis-gendered or misogyny means or they congregate at Wal-Mart, who needs them?"
Well, this democracy, before it died a couple of nights ago, needed their vote, at any rate. Or at least a hope that they might consider voting blue, perhaps only one in twenty or so, but that's long dashed when what they hear and read from educated democrats is basically some condescending form of "have a good day at the loading dock, hick." It's bigotry.

I live in a red area of a blue state and as much as I cringe at bumper stickers and flags that read "freedom is not free" and "don't tread on me" and the usual, that sort of direct simplicity is one way people win elections.

Simple language. There's nothing wrong with it. I'm too tired to link it up but if anyone hasn't heard George Carlin's hall-of-fame level oration about the term "shellshock" and how it has withered down to flabbiness -- because of language -- with each successive generation, please do so.
