About this episode
In their ongoing effort to reorganize and define the party, Democrats have gotten some new guidance on how to win over voters. And it’s not so much about what they should do, but what they shouldn’t. In a new memo shared exclusively with Playbook, the center-left Democratic think tank Third Way reveals the party should distance itself from a few dozen words and phrases that may alienate potential voters. Could terms such as “microaggression,” “privilege” and “triggering” in fact be turning off potential Democratic voters? Playbook’s Adam Wren and White House reporter Megan Messerly unpack that and more.
