Democrats tend to use too many multi syllable words, mostly to show how educated they are, and how dumb these people are. You can’t get support that way. You alienate people. This is a criticism that is valid. Sometimes we should simplify what we say so even a less educated person can get it. Look at Jasmine Crocket, she doesn’t do that, she tries to relate to people, and she gets her message across. This is what we need. Simplicity in our communication.
