“No one ‘reached out” (Dear God above how I so hate those liberal buzzeords) to Democrats. A planned effort was carried out by GOP operatives to USE WILLING DEMOCRATS to go around the will of the actual GOP voter base and bench a conservative they believed they could not control.”

It is quickly overtaking ‘issues’ from the late 90s.
Short version: I once had to work with a Hillary clone at a telecom for a short time. you could predict with atomic cloc accuracy what she would say based on what was on Friends or another TV show the night before. And ‘issues’ was at minimum in every second sentence. EVERYTHING was an ‘issue’.
I had an issue when I parked my car...

I wanted to duct tape that witch just ‘cuz’.
The Reach out thing is classic propaganda. It began intended to give the mental image of... ‘See how human and sincere I am? Picture in your mind as I speak how I physically extend my hand to you in friendship, compassion and a willingness to give of myself to help you!”
When the other hand held a knife hidden from view.
Today it is just pavlovian. And annoying as f...ork, used to make you sound hip/with it/one of the in crowd...just as ‘issues was. In short, a word used by frauds.
