      It would be funny if Biden took this advice literally and started speaking Yiddish.https://twitter.com/shaynamalka/status/1387057272686366723 …

      Jeet Heer added,

      Shayna Weiss @shaynamalka
      "I always tell people that we’ve got to stop speaking Hebrew and start speaking Yiddish. We have to speak the way regular people speak, the way voters speak." Is this 2021, or a Jewish Enlightenment periodical from the 18th century? https://www.vox.com/22338417/james-carville-democratic-party-biden-100-days …

      One interesting thing about James Carville is that he talks in ornate figurative language & esoteric metaphors that you have to squint to figure out but is considered a populist. It's the Southern accent. Makes people mistake a Bourbon dandy for a redneck.

          Biden is much more conversant in populist rhetoric than Carville, or indeed almost anyone else in the Democratic Party.

          Agreed. Nevertheless, this was a particularly insane aphorism to deploy.

          He goes on shows wearing 1000 dollar sweaters instead of suits, but that article about his mansion is still on Architectural Digest if people want to know how he actually lives

          Sort of an addendum to that. My sister’s friends telling me when they first met me that they thought I had a British accent, but then realized I just spoke well.

          Not to those of us who grew up as rednecks. He’ll always be a bourbon dandy to me.

          You’re right “If Hastert was a Democrat who we knew had a history of molesting kids and was actually sent to prison in 2016, he’d still be on Fox News every fucking night”
