“Not ripping the guy who posted this, but the author of the piece: It is the DEMOCRAT party not the democratic party.”
Actually, I think you are incorrect. It’s the Democratic Party and a member is a Democrat. I’d be careful throwing the ‘idiot’ word around, LOL.
“The Democratic Party”
Well it isn’t one or the other consistently then.
In the sentence, “When the democrats caucus, it’s a field day for nuts.” you would never say “democratics caucus”.
I mean even look at their website address: democrats.org.
Not democratics.org!
I think they use this to imply theirs is inherently a ‘democratic’ party when it isn’t, and that any other party isn’t. The Democrat party makes a hell of a lot more sense to call them. we call them democrats. The Southern Democrats, not Southern Democratics. Anytime they are discussed by anyone it’s “Well what should the democrats do?”
Except when the word “Party” is behind the word Democrat, we have no “ic” added to it. Seems that ain’t right. We hear and use “Democrat” far, far more often than the other.
But to me it’s a whole Bolshevik (majority) party vs Menshevik (minority) party issue. If you say it that way, it makes it sound like they are the only party that’s democratic. It’s actually hypocritical to say it that way.
