    The adjective form of ‘Democrat’ is ‘Democratic’, not the stupid and grammatically incorrect form Republicans decided to push in the late 2000s.

      I intentionally use the grammatically incorrect ‘Democrat’ party because the adjective democratic is not an accurate description of the party’s values and ideals.

      Democratic means “of, characterized by, or advocating democracy,” with democracy of course being a government by the people, or government of which the people are the ultimate authority. The Democrat party are NOT advocates for such a government. They want a neoliberal technocratic government. To call the Democrat party “democratic” is a vile lie that I absolutely will not help to perpetuate, grammar be damned.

        So you’re just doing the same thing Republicans do and using the exact same dumb justification.

          I don’t know what the Republicans’ reasoning is, and I don’t care. I know what my reasoning is, and I just explained it. I really don’t care if you think it’s dumb.

            Yeah, sure, you just happened to come up with the exact same petty mannerism they’ve been doing for 15 years with the exact same reasoning and somehow claim you’re not only not copying it, but never even knew they did it.

              I never said that I didn’t know that many Republicans also refer to them as the Democrat party. I was aware of that. I, however, never cared to find out what their reasons for doing it were, because, as I’ve already stated, I don’t care. They may do it for the same reason I do, I don’t care. I don’t care what the Republicans think, and I don’t care what you think.
