@brewster @stopgopfox It's said that Democrats 'Speak in Encyclopedia' while Republicans 'Speak in Reader's Digest':blobcathappypaws:

@demoncat @brewster @stopgopfox not quite - Dems speak in encyclopedia, Republicans speak in ‘So You Have An STD’ informational brochure from the county health department.

@demoncat @brewster @stopgopfox Democrats at large should learn from politicians like Joe Biden and John Fetterman. Simplify and personalize the message. Talk to people in their own language rather than show off how many degrees are on the wall.

@theloneapple @demoncat @brewster As long as not showing the degrees on the wall doesn't involve further attacking intellectualism in general. The last thing we need is to make America any dumber or fearful of experts.

@demoncat: Dems need to learn to speak to Repubs in Readers Digest and they may even have to dumb that down for some of them (e.g. Bobo and Margarine)

@stopgopfox @demoncat @brewster If there are any Democrats who do that then I'm not aware of them. It's not about attacking intellectualism, it's about making a message understandable to a wider audience of people.

@theloneapple @demoncat @brewster @stopgopfox I'm not aware of any Dems who sound "too learned".

@BobC7000 @theloneapple @demoncat @brewster The tendency to emphasize facts first, rather than emotions, is part of the "learned" vibe on the left.Not that there is anything wrong with facts, but most Republicans operate on raw instincts and fear -- which, to get factual and Democrat-y, is proven in brain studies that mapped anger synapses based on political leanings.

@BobC7000 @demoncat @brewster @stopgopfox Generally the ones who come off like a white-paper is erupting out of their mouth. They can't turn off the lawyer or professor part.

@stopgopfox @BobC7000 @demoncat @brewster On the Democratic side, I see it as identifying what it is the person you are trying to reach wants. It might just be to be content in their bubble of life without disruption from the outside. A lot of indie voters are simply people who want to live their lives without having to think about anything outside of it.

@stopgopfox @theloneapple @brewster That's all too true. As Jeff Daniels said in that clip, 'we used to revere smart men, not fear them'. or something along that line. We need to bring that back. Revering education.
