I don't care if you mix up the usage of Democrat and Democratic. I'm just glad you are here to support Democrats and Hillary Clinton. I come here because it is nice to be around other Democrats. Republicans are getting scarier by the day. It is nice to have this place as a shelter from them. I probably would have gone crazy without this site. Democrat. Democratic. Democrazy.

That boring Mineralman started another thread, instructing people not to use Democrat.  It was 161 replies long earlier today.  I think it's hilarious they waste so much energy on this.

Saying "Democrat" in a crowd is to DUmmies what a turkey call is to turkeys, a good way to flush them out.

I liked it when the dummies decided to start calling us republics.  This was a few years ago.  Like we gave a damn.  Eventually they gave it up when we started calling each other republics to mock them.

Still see it in the comment section on places like NBC and ABC news.

Please do not use "Democrat" as an adjective on DU.


That usage was promoted by Newt Gingrich as a minimizing agitprop strategy back in the 1990s.

Democrat is a noun. Democratic is an adjective.

Democrats vote. Democratic voters vote. Democrat voters do not exist.

There is no Democrat Party. Democrat is a noun. The correct form is Democratic Party.

There are no Democrat legislators. There are Democratic legislators, Congress members and Senators. Democrat is a noun, not an adjective.

There has never been a Democrat President. There have been several Democratic Presidents.

This rule should be strictly followed by Democrats when referring to other Democrats. We need to get it right, each time and every time. Otherwise Newt Gingrich wins.

Democrat is a noun. Democratic is an adjective.

what a condescending, pedantic asshole but the other dummies don't seem to mind:

40. Thank you very much for this post

It is one of my idiosycracies to not allow it being used incorrectly around me.
I think it was coined because it rhymes with "rat"

the NC Democrat who hates dollar stores

What personally?

DUmmies have all the personality of a bald-headed hotdog...

Whatever you want to put in front of disorder will be fine...

Are any of these pedantic gnat-strainer smart enough to realize that their constant whinging has taken what was short-hand usage into button-pushing (or should I say, "button-mashing", given DU-folks' acute hyper-sensitivity?).
