A Democrat-aligned think tank has released a list of more than forty “woke words” it wants Democrats to stop using. Terms like “privilege,” “birthing person,” and “Latinx” have been blacklisted, supposedly to help Democrats reconnect with voters.

On this episode of The Spectacle Podcast, hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay break down the Democrats’ messaging crisis, what it reveals about their march toward irrelevancy, and why the left’s obsession with language policing is backfiring. Melissa and Scott also highlight how Democrats have remained more focused on imposing this vocabulary rather than addressing real issues like the surging crime in Washington, D.C. and other cities they govern.

Tune in to hear their discussion!
