Not just profanity, but the lies and the jevenile level rhetoric.
The people can't be painted with such a broad brush. Elections are most often won on the margins, motivating souls to the polls and persuading the swing voters. If you think those people don't exist, you are terribly mistaken. I have yet to hear a convincing argument that Democrats in office and pundits on the left dropping F-bombs will help our cause.
Sure, Democratic leaders need to demonstrate more fire in their belly and passion in their speech. They can do that without profanity on their lips, which would turn more people off than on.

It used to be a strong word. In these times, I find that it is no longer strong enough.
