James Carville, a longtime Democratic strategist, is sounding the alarm about the language used by some members of his party. He believes that certain terms, often associated with the far-left, are hurting Democrats' chances of winning elections. Carville specifically called out words like 'equity' and 'intersectionality' as examples of jargon that can alienate voters.
'Wokeness is a problem and everyone knows it,' Carville stated. He argued that these terms, while potentially meaningful within academic or activist circles, don't resonate with the average American voter. Carville believes that Democrats need to focus on clear, concise messaging that addresses the concerns of working-class families.
Carville's comments come as Democrats are facing increasing pressure to appeal to a wider range of voters. Some argue that the party has become too focused on identity politics and has lost touch with the concerns of everyday Americans. By simplifying their message and avoiding jargon, Carville believes Democrats can regain the trust of voters and win elections.
