(362 posts)So so true that people like preacher-type talking style. I think it would do most dems good to go to preacher-talk lessons. Okay, maybe there is no such literal training, but surely there is something similar or just hoire and damn preacher to give instructions. In this critical time, there is really NO excuse for a politician to speak in the lame somnambulist speaking style that is WAY too common (hello Schumer).
Granted, for some politicians it would fall flat and appear false, which wouldn't help at all, but the training would help 95% of them at lease pick up some pointers. Just think about how many charismatic, persuasive politicians have a least a hint of that quality.
Clue phone to dem house and senate! I think I'll send them the suggestion. I mean, come on. There is no effing excuse for not upping their speaking style and persuasive power especially since many people vote on emotion rather than logic (see Donald J Scumbag). It would be such a simple upgrade towards our efforts to restore democracy.
