Literally my job to translate specialized knowledge for a general audience

What I find so weird about the whole discourse is that I, a college professor, spend most of my time explaining complex ideas to 18-year-old novices. There’s a lot to mock academics for, but most of us couldn’t do our jobs at all if we didn’t know how to communicate with non-experts

Yeah - Democratic consultants flatly have no idea (a) what college professors talk like and (b) what Democratic politicians talk like, or (c) what happened when pols talk to voters.
They just have this conventional wisdom passed into the ether.

I would like for someone, anyone, to cite a concrete, specific example of an elected Democratic politician talking to the public *as though in a college seminar*, per Obama's scolding.
We hear about Dems talkin' fancy all the time. Someone cite an actual f'ing example! Please!
