Has he always been a Democrat?
That sounds nice and all, but I have to disagree with you on this one. Heās a grown man indeedā¦one of the adults in the room, so to speakā¦and he should know better than to use language and say things that the children in the room are going to hear to the exclusion of all else. Itās called practical reality. Itās called awareness. Itās called savvy. Recognizing and accepting that you canāt talk to the rest of the country like theyāre all adultsā¦because theyāre fucking notā¦is key. Running around operating on the idiot presumption that the general public can understand nuance and complexity and contextual relevance (or is even willing to try to do so in the first place) is complete foolishness. You might as well be yelling at your lawn not to grow so fast during the summer and explaining to it that āthis is important because the town is rationing the water.ā Attempting to explain everything IS NOT WORKING.

Is there anyone here who DOESNāT wish that the language was clearer?

My response would be what Midnight Rambler said above.
The reality is that the asshats are going to mine a āgaffeā out of anything Democrats say, no matter how bulletproof and asshatproof the statement seems, because otherwise theyād have to actually act like reporters did in the bygone days of, well, hell as recently as the 80s, really. Blaming the victim is not helpful.
When those things that āthe children in the room are going to hear to the exclusion of all elseā are also so blindingly obvious that they hit you in the face with a hammer, I really donāt have a problem with it. What the hell is he supposed to say? āYes, itās perfectly fine the way it isā? Iām no fan of Hoyer in general, but getting upset over this is frankly stupid.
