      Agreed, no reason to give them reprieve. Let them try again and this time the gerontocracy is weaker then it has ever been.

      It’s “Democratic” when used as an adjective.

      Don’t use Rush Limbaugh-speak. (May he rot in hell.)

              Then why did you add an “a” in front of an adjective? It’s either “I’m Democratic” (adjective) or “I’m a Democrat” (noun). This isn’t dictating language, they’re two different parts of speech. The name of the party is “the Democratic Party” and its members are “Democrats”. They’re proper nouns, not linguistic styling. There is no “Democrat Party”.

              The people who try to rename the party aren’t doing a whoopsie, it’s a conscious effort by conservatives to say the thing in a dumb way for extremely dumb political purposes. It takes effort to do that.
