Democrats have done a pretty good job of subverting the language, referencing their own party's name.

Many's the Conservative who falls into their trap either in print or on air and gets a (useless, I'll admit) verbal lashing from me.

I think the Democrats want to have everyone refer to them as "Democratic" just to avoid the joking reference to them as "'Rats", which of course they are.

From the article:
By contrast, there are Democratic-held seats
over her Democratic opponents
This is a clearly Democratic-leaning state
with the state's Democratic voters
exaggerating Democratic support

Every one of these references should be "Democrat"

Would it be too much to ask that all Democrats and all the media go read what the dictionary has to say about "democratic"?
"of, relating to, or supporting democracy or its principles."

Just like homosexuals are now "gay", and thus steal a word from our English vocabulary (who in their right mind would ever again say, "I'm feeling very gay right now"?), the 'Rats pervert the language just to avoid being made fun of - or they're just ignorant, I don't know which.

it is “simulated majority” propaganda.

It is “democrats” vs everyone else.

If there was ONE democrat running it would be portrayed as a too close to call contest.

THANK YOU!




The bs of calling themselves the "democratic party" just makes me cringe. Or when I see "The Democratic candidate running for Senate."

If there are five of them in a room would one say "that group of democratics over there?"

But if you point this out they "in true liberal fashion" have an absolute fit.
