My biggest issue with so-called "leftists" is their overly academic and political jargon.
You get fascists on one side and liberal arts majors defending their theses on the other.
To affect change, you need to inspire. To inspire, you need to use words the folks you want to inspire not only understand, but can easily latch onto.
You need to speak *THEIR* language, not try to force your language on them.
Words really do matter. I would have been a leftist long ago if they had reached me.
