Democratic campaign vet warns that the left's 'schoolmarm' tone is alienating middle America

There is a "schoolmarm or school monitor vibe" from the left, according to a Democratic campaign veteran.

The author of "Any Given Tuesday: A Political Love" appeared on an episode of Vanity Fair's "Inside the Hive" on Wednesday.

A political strategist is working with a senator. The 35-year-old Democratic state lawmaker went viral for blasting her GOP colleague for accusing her of "grooming and sexualizing" children over McMorrow's opposition to Florida's LGBTQ+ education legislation.

Smith talked about getting new, younger people in political offices, especially those who break from the "stereotype of younger politicians of under 40 that they're either a member of the squad, they're DS, or they're not."

The campaign strategist said it would be a lot healthier for our body politics to uphold young politicians who can appeal to everyone.

Smith said that politics would be more appealing to more people if it was less about yelling and screaming.

Smith noted that there is merit in adjusting the style and tone of politicians.

"On the Republican side, anger is in Vogue these days, and whoever the Republican base hates the most is the king of that day or queen of that day," the campaign vet said. There is a schoolmarm, school monitor vibe, where we're policing people's language or seen as looking down on people from the middle of the country.

She said there was a middle ground between them. There is a generation of younger politicians that have had enough of the endless warfare in Washington that they are trying to go for a more common sense tone.
