Democrats have got to stop this advocacy language & policing with phrases like justice-involved population (inmates) and birthing persons (mothers). "We’ve got to get back to talking to people like we talk to our friends, like we talk each and every day in our life.” www.semafor.com/article/07/1...

The Kentucky governor urged his party to drop “advocacy language” as visits to early presidential primary states begin to pile up even before the midterms.
