Atlanta Journal Constitution op/ed columnist Bill Torpy penned a piece in early September finger-wagging at progressives over word choice and his perceiving them to be 'haughty and arrogant,' owing to their 'moral superiority' as a reason the Democratic Party is losing elections and the voter registration game, lately.
He cited the recently resigned CDC official Dr. Demetre Daskalakis' resignation letter and his use of the term "pregnant people" as an example. Third Way had a longer list, incidentally; a list I questioned.
I don't dismiss what Torpy or Third Way is saying, in their entirety, but I find it a touch rich with irony that both take their own 'haughty & arrogant' or 'morally superior' high horse to call out the progressive wing of the party while ignoring the party - controlled by the establishment more to the center - being awful at messaging and in being as welcoming to progressive voters as they seem to be to "never Trump" Republicans.
