I am sorry for the ableist language of “saner” below. If I could edit, I would. Instead I will apologize and acknowledge my error.https://twitter.com/anatosaurus/status/1195813314107887616 …

As someone with bipolar disorder who’s truly been “insane” at times and a psychiatrist, I have no problem with using “saner” as a synonym for rational. There is nothing stigmatizing or denigrating about it. Don’t buckle under the social conformity pressure of call out culture.
Appreciate this and think, as person applying tools from cognition and linguistics to political discourse, language is a living thing and meaning is made in context. If “saner” conveys - to some group - condemnation of them - then it’s not doing job I desire.

I hear that. I do political messaging too & agree that speaking the language of your audience is key to ensuring your message is heard. Here, however, I’d argue it’s a tiny, non-representative sample of people in your target audience who’re taking issue with your language. 1/2

When that’s the case, how do you decide whether changing your language makes sense? Either way, I don’t think there’s a need to apologize. Rather, open discourse without judgment is a better path forward for all. 2/2
