A Democratic lawmaker criticizes Kamala Harris and the Democrats for employing "unfamiliar" language following their election defeat.

During a recent interview, Hawaii Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz stated that Vice President Kamala Harris' choice of certain words was not familiar to Americans and advised the party to steer clear of them in the future.

Schatz stated in an interview with Politico that although the language may not be offensive or irritating, it is still unfamiliar to most people.

According to a poll, the term "LatinX" has been largely rejected by Latinos, and Schatz mentioned that he believes few lawmakers use the term.

Kamala did a great job focusing on middle-class concerns, but I recall her stating, "I'm going to center the needs of the working class." I thought to myself, "No one says 'center' in the world," and I realized that centering the needs of a group is a clear indication that someone is not normal.

Schatz continued, "It's not just about being careful not to say things that sound bizarre, but also about how we interact with advocacy groups."

He provided more instances of his personal experience and stated, "I recall stating my support for a ceasefire in Israel and Palestine."

Schatz responded, "People asked why I didn't suggest a ceasefire, but I thought it was the same as what they were suggesting."

The notion that there are specific phrases that we must be compelled to utter in order to define progressivism and political bravery is flawed, as it implies that we should simply say whatever a group of activists wants us to say, rather than actually doing the task at hand. This perspective is viewed as performative by many people, and it ultimately leads to alienation. As a result, this concept must be eliminated.

He suggested that Democrats should not apologize for employing language that resonates with voters in their pursuit of a political comeback after Harris' defeat to President-elect Trump.

"Saying things in an appealing way is half of our business," he stated.

Ultimately, Schatz stated that Harris' campaign was well executed, and it was a "change election."

"The sitting vice president couldn't appear as the change president because it's impossible," he stated.
