US EditionThird Way Circulates ‘Blacklist’ of Terms Democrats Shouldn’t Use
Third Way urges Democrats to drop complex 'woke' language, citing a 2.1 million decline in registered voters since 2020 to regain mainstream support.
- On Thursday, centrist think tank Third Way released a memo urging the Democratic Party to avoid 'woke' jargon, listing 45 words for Democrats to stop using before the Democratic National Convention, Chicago.
- A New York Times analysis found Democrats lost roughly 2.1 million registered voters while Republicans added 2.4 million, prompting Third Way to issue a memo addressing language as a core issue in recent weeks.
- The memo lists categorized words including six groups, highlighting the Therapy-Speak category with terms like `privilege` and `microaggression` and the Gender/Orientation Correctness category featuring `birthing person`; comedians and some Democrats recently mocked this language, saying members now 'speak like professors.'
- The GOP spent over $215 million on anti-trans attack ads, but a study showed no impact on voters; some Democrats distanced themselves while others condemned the messaging, and Third Way said it is not policing language.
- Ahead of the midterms, the memo aims to rebrand Democrats after plummeting approval, but social media critics mocked the list this past week, arguing it's the messenger, not just language, that matters.
