Dem Strategist Roginsky: We Don’t Know How to Talk to ‘Normal People,’ We’re ‘Not the Party of Common Sense’

Democratic strategist and CNN contributor Julie Roginsky said Thursday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that her party cannot speak to “normal people,” stating that it was “not the party of common sense.”

Roginsky said, “You know, I’m going to speak some hard truths to my friends in the Democratic Party. This is not Joe Biden’s fault. It’s not Kamala Harris fault. It’s not Barack Obama’s fault. It is the fault of the Democratic Party in not knowing how to communicate effectively to voters. We are not the party of common sense, which is the message that voters sent to us. For a number of reasons, for a number of reasons, we don’t know how to speak to voters. When we address Latinos — and language, and language has meaning — we address Latino voters. as Latinx, for instance, because that’s the politically correct thing to do, it makes them think that we don’t even live on the same planet as they do. When we are too afraid to say that, ‘Hey, college kids, if you’re trashing a campus of Columbia University because you aren’t happy about some sort of policy and you’re taking over a university and you’re trashing it and preventing other students from learning that that is unacceptable.’ But we’re so worried about alienating one or another cohort in our coalition that we don’t know what to say.”

Said that on CNN? Good for her

As long as you’re asking for people’s pronouns, you’re not talking to normal people and you’re not a normal person.

Not to mention promoting sex change medical ‘care’ for minors.

On second thought, maybe promoting the genital mutilation of anxious children wasn’t such a good idea after all

Unfortunately for any Democrat who want to be normal, the Party decision makers are people who separated completely from the rest of mankind by their deviant sexual practices, globalist ideations and obscene amounts of (in many case unearned) wealth.

Yep! Pushing Drag Queens in elementary schools, want little kids to transition to a different sex, letting people in that don’t even speak English. Yeah I’d say you don’t know how to talk to normal people for a whole lot of reasons.

I knew idiots would could out with views like that - they "spoke" just fine, nobody liked what they had to say.

Key Points Made in ‘Common Sense’
Here are some of Paine’s key points:

Government’s purpose was to serve the people. Paine described government as a “necessary evil,” which existed to give people a structure so they could work together to solve problems and prosper. But to do that, it had to be responsive to people’s needs. The British system, Paine argued, failed at that, because it gave the monarchy and nobles in Parliament too much power to thwart the people’s elected representatives. “The constitution of England is so exceedingly complex, that the nation may suffer for years together without being able to discover in which part the fault lies, some will say in one and some in another, and every political physician will advise a different medicine,” Paine wrote.

Having a king was a bad idea. Paine didn’t just find fault with British rule of the colonies. He ridiculed the very idea of having a hereditary monarch at all. “In England a king hath little more to do than to make war and give away places, which in plain terms, is to impoverish the nation and set it together by the ears,” Paine wrote. “A pretty business indeed for a man to be allowed eight hundred thousand sterling a year for, and worshipped into the bargain! Of more worth is one honest man to society and in the sight of God, than all the crowned ruffians that ever lived.”

America as the home of the free. Paine refuted the notion that Americans should be loyal to a mother country that he considered a bad parent. “Even brutes do not devour their young, nor savages make war upon their families,” he wrote. Besides, he argued, America’s real connection was to people everywhere who yearned to escape oppression. “This new world hath been the asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty from every part of Europe,” Paine proclaimed. “Hither have they fled, not from the tender embraces of the mother, but from the cruelty of the monster; and it is so far true of England, that the same tyranny which drove the first emigrants from home, pursues their descendants still.”

America had a rare opportunity to create a new nation based on self-rule. As Paine saw it, both Americans and the British knew it was inevitable that the colonies would break free. “I have never met with a man, either in England or America, who hath not confessed his opinion, that a separation between the countries, would take place one time or other.” And that time had come. America had raw materials, from timber and hemp to iron, and the skills that it needed to build and equip an army and navy for its defense. Just as important, the individual colonies had the potential to put aside differences and form a powerful nation. But they needed to do it quickly, before the population grew to a point where new divisions might develop. The moment in history was “that peculiar time, which never happens to a nation but once,” he wrote.

A strong central government was needed. Paine envisioned that the new nation would have a strong central government, with a constitution that protected individual rights, including freedom of religion. “A firm bargain and a right reckoning make long friends,” he argued.


do you suppose any of them have read our history?

So in your efforts to not alienate a miniscule minority of special interest groups, you end up alienating the vast majority of the citizens of the US.

I’ve never understood the Latinx thing. Why not just call them Latin?



To: ChicagoConservative27

Hey you dummy, all the right talking in the world isn’t going to convince 75 million people that pervs should be allowed in female bathrooms, that kids should get puberty blockers, that rapists in jail should get free trannie surgery, that electric cars should be shoved down our throats, that 200 billion is ok to send to far away wars while vets here starve .and the list goes and on.....what deluded beasts these people are.

They know how to talk to normal people just fine, it’s just that what they try to tell us is bullshit. Let’s see if they get to the point where they understand this is not a communications problem but a content problem.

And there it is, “We just weren’t effective in getting our message out”. Hilarious. Yeah, it’s nobody’s fault, just didn’t communicate effectively, you know, even with a billion dollar campaign. Wow.

Sounds good, but what she’s saying is they need to cram collectivism on the normies in their own language.

They haven’t actually learned anything.

I know a lot of people who speak Spanish who hate the term Latinx.
