Democratic or Democrat?
Not directed to poster - generic question = why has “democrat” become democrat - ic? Maybe for the ick?
Seriously - this is a new trend and annoying. The correct usage here would be “Democrat mayor”.
This is a new thing - does anyone have any theories?
This comes across as though I am the grammar police, however, it is not my intention. Rather, is there a deeper reason the ‘rats, especially the media propagandists, have switched to democrat- ic?
it’s not a new trend - they been using both for many years.
It’s not new. The official name of their party is the Democratic Party. They use the adjective to define their party. Same with the Republicans. They use a plural form of the adjective “republican” as their official party name. The difference is that the noun form, Democrat, can easily be used as well, while the noun form, Republic, does not fit the same way. Democrat can describe a person and a thing. Republic only describes a form of government, and sometimes is used in the proper name of a business, as in the old Republic Pictures.
Ignorance
Easy question. Everybody considers “democratic” to be good.
Synonymous with freedom and fairness. As in “let’s do it the democratic way’. If a group is having a disagreement, as in where to have lunch, it’s let’s do it the democratic way and vote.
“Democrat” refers to a political party. “Democratic” refers to some lofty ideal.
