The Blueprint for Democrats to Win Back Voters

Loaded Language 95%

The sentence uses emotionally charged terms to describe the current political situation, triggering strong reactions rather than conveying neutral facts — for example: 'fascist and authoritarian regime'

“fascist and authoritarian regime”

Name Calling 90%

The current governing power is labeled 'fascist and authoritarian' as a derogatory label to discredit rather than engage with specific policies — for example: 'fascist and authoritarian regime'

“fascist and authoritarian regime”

Conspiracy Appeal 80%

The sentence implies a hidden coordination between the current regime and corporate interests, and further suggests the Democratic establishment is also secretly controlled by the same forces — for example: 'overrun by the same corporate interests that the Democratic establishment is also funded by'

“overrun by the same corporate interests that the Democratic establishment is also funded by”

Black-And-White Fallacy 70%

The sentence frames the political situation as a binary: either adopt the left's approach or continue losing and sliding into authoritarianism, leaving no room for alternative strategies — for example: 'Until they start taking lessons from the left on what to actually fight for, they will continue to be running on cycle-to-cycle losses'

“Until they start taking lessons from the left on what to actually fight for, they will continue to be running on cycle-to-cycle losses”

Appeal To Fear 85%

The sentence warns of a dire consequence — sliding into a fascist and authoritarian regime — if the recommended course of action is not taken, creating anxiety to compel a specific political response — for example: 'ensure that we don't consistently backside into this fascist and authoritarian regime'

“ensure that we don't consistently backside into this fascist and authoritarian regime”

Appeal To Prejudice 70%

Frames the Squad as champions of 'working-class people' to create an in-group/out-group dynamic between ordinary people and wealthy elites — X

“bringing working-class people into the halls of power and bringing their needs to the top of the agenda”

Scapegoating 75%

Assigns blame for political opposition to a single class of people ('Billionaires') as the root cause of resistance to left-wing politics — X

“Billionaires hate that”

Bandwagon Appeal 70%

The repeated invocation of majority opinion is used to pressure conformity and imply that the correct position is the one held by the crowd — for example: 'a majority of us oppose this genocide'

“a majority of us oppose this genocide”

“voters began to wake up to understand”

False Equivalence 75%

Republicans and Democrats are lumped together as equally culpable under a single 'establishment,' flattening meaningful policy differences between the two parties — for example: 'the same establishment that is run by Republicans and Democrats'

“the same establishment that is run by Republicans and Democrats”

Glittering Generalities 75%

Vague, emotionally positive language like 'most courageous leaders' and 'values they need' is used to elevate the politicians without specifying what those values or acts of courage actually entail — for example: 'the most courageous leaders in Congress, standing up for the values they need'

“the most courageous leaders in Congress”

“standing up for the values they need”

Exaggeration/hyperbole 70%

Calling them 'the most courageous leaders in Congress' and 'no one is louder' are superlative claims that overstate their standing beyond what evidence supports — for example: 'been the most courageous leaders in Congress'

“been the most courageous leaders in Congress”

“no one is louder about needing clean water in the state of Michigan than Rashida Tlaib”

Card Stacking 65%

Attributing the entire policy of universal school lunches in Minnesota solely to Ilhan Omar omits the broader legislative process and other actors involved, presenting a simplified causal claim as fact — for example: 'Ilhan Omar is the reason that the state of Minnesota has universal school lunches for children'

“Ilhan Omar is the reason that the state of Minnesota has universal school lunches for children”

False Urgency 75%

The phrase 'right now' combined with 'we have to move next' creates artificial time pressure implying immediate action is required — for example: 'ending funding right now'

“ending funding right now”
