(29,088 posts)Writes fundraising emails using the same words all the time. A script. Their supporters like it:
Their big enemy are corrupt "corporate Democrats" (who will stop at nothing to prevent progress because they're complicit with and paid off by corporations, billionaires, special interests, lobbyists, corporate PACS, Wall Street, Big Pharma, the oil and gas industries, the ruling class, the donor class, the 1% -- the list is really endless). Naturally there's no evidence of this supposed corruption. Democrats are also called the liberal elite, coastal elites, wealthy elites, any flavor of elite. They only pretend to want progressive legislation but are same as Republicans (Republicans rarely make an appearance in the emails, they are irrelevant).
Democratic Establishment (the word "progressive" means anti-establishment with Democrats being the establishment they are fighting against, "taking on" and so forth because the establishment will stop at nothing to prevent Justice Democrats' success). Any Democratic organization like the DNC or DCC (Third Way, it goes without saying) are enemies who will stop at nothing to prevent, etc.
The goal is to transform the Democratic Party, purge it of corporate Democrats and the Democratic Establishment, elect Justice Democrats (the movement, revolution). Transformative policies. FDR transformative. Transform is an important word.
Status quo. Neoliberals.
Working class. Progressive are the only ones fighting for the working class. Working class, working class, working class. These are really the most important words.
Grassroots.
Justice.
Solidarity.
