Oh hell yeah. Hilary Clinton was on Walmart's board of directors. Frontline did an entire 7-up style longitudinal series on the economic impacts of NAFTA. But James is absolutely mad about pronouns. he is saying. in as many words. That the horse-paste big-lie migrant-caravan hoi polloi would vote Democrat if only they could keep watching the Washington Redskins and it's fucking BULLSHIT. That, right there, is James Carville saying "if we keep talking the way old people talk, young people will fall in line" and he's saying that in this environment: So yeah. You're going to get crucified because both you, and James Carville, are very, very wrong.I'm saying that since Clinton, until Biden's actual progressive economics, Dem and GOP presidents have been worried more about banks than people.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with these phrases. But this is not how people talk. This is not how voters talk. And doing it anyway is a signal that you’re talking one language and the people you want to vote for you are speaking another language. This stuff is harmless in one sense, but in another sense it’s not.
I always tell people that we’ve got to stop speaking Hebrew and start speaking Yiddish. We have to speak the way regular people speak, the way voters speak. It ain’t complicated. That’s how you connect and persuade. And we have to stop allowing ourselves to be defined from the outside.
