    I thought Democrat was an interjection.

    But probably more than the presumptive Republican nominee had when he ran in 2015/2016.

    Probably as many as Reagan did for the Republican nomination (1968, 1976 and 1980 when he won the nomination and ultimately the presidency).

    She absolutely learned more than a thing or 2 about the job her husband got from a lady in a blue dress.

    Someone apparently has a case of MLDR (Monica Lewinsky Derangement Syndrome).

    The party is “Democratic”. Democrat is a member of that party.

    Agree on all this. I've got family members that simply could not get over their disdain for the Clintons. In 2016, two voted for Gary Johnson and two voted for Trump. In 2020, of the same four, three voted for Biden and one for Trump.

    I couldn't find a Grover Cleveland giphy, but it's the thought that counts.

    Says you. The Republicans say differently. You asked a question. You got an answer. It’s the Democrat Party. And the U.S. is a democratic republic.

    Adlai Stephenson, too, immediately came to mind. Lost to Eisenhower in 1952, they trotted him out again in 1956, and when that failed again, Kennedy gave him a Lifetime Achievement Award in making him ambassador to the UN.

    I also have some family who feels they have “no choice” but to vote for Trump since he (inexplicably) won the nomination again. Some are like me in that they just can’t get behind that man again (a common feeling among Republicans who serve in the military, I have found), but I’ll bet you most of them would jump ship and vote Trump again if Clinton weaseled her way on to the ticket.

    I say again, asked and answered. It’s the Democrat Party. Sorry you don’t like it, but it changes nothing.

    I’m not sure what game you are playing here. Republicans don’t get to just change the name of the party because they don’t like it. I understand why Republicans misname it - but that is what it is, improper naming.


    Q: Is it the “Democratic” Party or the “Democrat” Party?

    A: The proper term is “Democratic Party.”

    Democrat Party (epithet) - Wikipedia

    Democrat Party is an epithet and pejorative for the Democratic Party of the United States,[1][2][3]often used in a disparaging fashion by the party's opponents.[4] While use of the term started out as non-hostile, it has grown in its negative use since the 1940s, in particular by members of the Republican Party—in party platforms, partisan speeches, and press releases—as well as by conservative commentators and third partypoliticians.[5][6][7]

    I went back and read your answer. It’s demonstrably wrong. Not sure why you want to die on this particular hill but you do you.

    The post you quote was in response to a poster who suggested the Dems don’t retread their nominees.
    It was not a criticism of Biden per se for running multiple times.

    Are we supposed to believe you also refer to Republic politicians since a Republican politician and a republican one may not be the same thing and a republican one can obviously exist on both sides of the aisle?

    Members of the “Democratic” party refer to themselves as “Democrats”, the media does the same, I’m sure you’ve heard the term “Blue dog Democrat”? Never heard the term “Blue dog Democratic”.

    But thanks for the English lesson on parts of speech.
