Nuance with Mike Scala and Jay Carter

The Language Problem Democrats Don't Want to Admit


Listen Later

What if the words Democrats use are costing them elections? In this episode of Nuance, hosts Mike Scala and Jay Carter dive into a provocative list from the think tank Third Way, which outlines phrases and terminology the Democratic Party should retire. From “Latinx” to “safe space” to “birthing person,” they break down why language matters — and whether changing it is necessary for political survival.


This week on Nuance:

- The evolving language of the Democratic Party

- How political rhetoric may alienate key voter groups

- Academic and activist terminology vs. everyday speech

- Whether inclusive language helps or hurts electoral outcomes

- The fine line between intention and impact in political messaging
