I actually agree that Democrats should refrain from using most of these. And they already do! When was the last time a Senator said 'heteronormative'?
The bigger problem is that orgs like Third Way are reinforcing this false, right-wing narrative. Dems can't stop doing something they're not doing!

@booker.senate.gov is saying it loud and clear:
Cutting $880 billion from Medicaid will crush rural hospitals, nursing homes, trauma centers, and families who depend on care.
We can't let that happen. #ProtectMedicaid

One simple way to think about federal cuts to Medicaid is as cuts to state budgets. That reality has consequences for policy--and politics. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/b...

One thing I really wish more journalists would repeat like parrots when discussing birthright citizenship is that, unless you're naturalized (and a few other exceptions), that is how you got your citizenship.
Even if your family goes back to the Mayflower, you got it that way.
