The party officially calls itself the Democratic Party

The term "Democratic Party" itself...is a lie.

There's nothing "democratic" about a party whose claim to fame is stealing elections.

They are politicians, and you expect them to use an accurate descriptor? "Affordable Care Act" comes to mind. Of course they are going to use a misleading label to describe themselves.

Republicans "aren't" either. The party is a clique that can be entered by payment of (money) dues and compliance with certain back-scratching protocols.
