I never say Democrat Party. It was always Democrats that I was corrected on. So maybe the corrector was wrong? -- nm - Bacon Oct 11, 15:52 16
- Maybe it was somebody on Facebook? -- nm - mara Oct 11, 16:00 8
  - I have had it happen hear a couple times in the last few years all the way back to TT days. Yes, the majority of the time it's on facebook -- nm - Bacon Oct 11, 16:01 7
    - Here much lower t han I said - Bacon Oct 11, 16:03 6
      - the issue is that "democratic" can be applied to more than democrats, and dems "owning" that term makes it seem otherwise to some. nm but: -- (link) - b. Oct 11, 16:12 1
        
        Ah that helps a little more too -- nm - Bacon Oct 11, 16:19
      - *laughing* Okay, you're just fucking with us, right? -- nm - mara Oct 11, 16:04 3
        
        Hah, no. The confusion comes from being corrected by people that are wrong. - Bacon Oct 11, 16:05 2
        
        But your examples are not proving your point. -- nm - mara Oct 11, 16:07 1
        
        It's because I never bothered looking it up until now. - Bacon Oct 11, 16:09
- heh, I searched for the last 6 months on your use of "democrats" and found only this. nm but: -- (link) - b. Oct 11, 15:57 [Backboard]
- More likely... - Stephen Oct 11, 15:56 5
  - I found this article. I think second or third paragraph. -- (link) - Bacon Oct 11, 16:01 4
    - Yes, "the Democrat Party." Not "Democrats." Adjective, not noun. -- nm - mara Oct 11, 16:04 3
      - Okay, then the people correcting me are wrong. I don't call it Democrat Party. It doesn't flow right. Democrats I use a lot, but now say - Bacon Oct 11, 16:05 2
        
        Go back to using "Democrats" as a noun. There's nothing wrong with it. -- nm - mara Oct 11, 16:06 1
        
        Ding! That's what I am going to do. -- nm - Bacon Oct 11, 16:08
Also, it's not "Repubs", it's "Repubes" -- nm - Roger More Oct 11, 15:51
