"Workers" is a marxist term. I hear the same thing.
Of course when the left says "democracy" I hear communism. |

ever notice how when the "workers" are voting Democrat like they're supposed to, the Democrats call them "blue-collar workers, the backbone of America!" but when those same workers fail to vote Democrat then they're derided as "uneducated white males."

They are touting a lifestyle they have never experienced for a day in their life. Salt of the earth, those Dem politicians.

We need to start calling politicians “bourgeoisie” then. The other irony is how many of their dependents are actually working “workers”. |

Very Bourgeoisie. It's how elitist politicians refer to people that they rape for taxes. It's a smear, not a compliment.

There’s a great scene in the Seattle is Dying documentary where that socialist councilwoman is holding some bullshit ass event and getting heckled by a pile of construction workers at a job site across the street.

...and every single time she referred to job creation in the green energy sector, she said "well paying union jobs". Every. Single. Time. Oh, and the new terms related to environmental justice and environmental inequality sound particularly fun.
I believe in environmental inequality. I live in Dallas. It's ugly. I think people living in the gorgeous Bay Area should have to pay me to live in fly over country. Seems reasonable...right? |

It's a smear, not a compliment. interestingly, I have heard a new term creeping into the language recently: "Boojee," with the J a cross between a J sound and an SH sound, short for Bourgeoisie, referring to what we called "Yuppies" back in the 1980s. three young people have used it in the past month with me in conversation (no, not to describe me). |

I can't stand when a politician says "We need to do this for the American people" or "This is what the American people want"
I have heard Pelosi and Schumer say it a thousand times and i have never wanted what they are offering or want them to do it. There is a good chance that half of the "American people" don't agree with a poltician on either side when they make that statement |

I find "fairness", "justice", "equity", "democracy", "mainstream", "constitution", and now "insurrection" pretty disconcerting from most politicians.
It's either newspeak or Humpty-Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. ... "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." |

I also hate it when they say "hard working families." Oh, and references to the "kitchen table" when it comes to household income and budget.
All designed to evoke an emotional response. Like when they say "small child" or "little baby." What the F other kind of baby is there? Well, Big Babies, I guess..... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: "Common sense" is what gets me. They'll suggest the most politically and ideologically controversial opinion is "common sense". 100% agree with this one. I hear it most with regard to "common sense gun control". This means that anyone who disagrees with their position lacks common sense. Again, meant to dissuade debate or discussion by characterizing it in this manner. It's akin to using "Racist Policies" or something like that to characterize the debate from the outset. |

Quoted: I was just watching the White House Press conference where the new environmental justice czar came out to unroll Biden's recent executive order. Between she and Kerry, I couldn't get over how often they identified US Citizens as "workers". Maybe it's just me, a Cold War kid, but that language just sounds Marxist. Or, maybe I'm being a snowflake. Is this Chris Plante’s account? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: yes, also "the American people", clearly a us and them FIFM Yep, “American people” and “workers”. As if we all act, think, and feel as a monolith. The reality is we are all individuals who happen to share a country. We have separate cultures and ideas on what role government should play in our lives. It’s why the size of the federal government should be reduced and power should be shifted back to state and local municipalities. |

Yes.
I really started to notice the use of the term when Obummer was in office. American Citizens is more appropriate. Sadly even some of the surveys sent out by the Rs in my area used the term worker. |
