    This is the influence of Rush Limbaugh. He wanted people to say “the Democrat party” instead of “the Democrats”. It sounds like “rat” and “democratic” is generally a good thing.

    I actually forgot his name and had to look up “conservative radio host drugs”. Brought him up right away.

    Always make sure to call it the Democratic party as a FU to him.

        The name. Same way Republicans work for the people republic just in the name.

        DNC is reserved for the party leadership. The democrats i encounter in the real world may or may not identify with the party leadership (e.x. the democrats i meet over the age of 65 tend to identify with Kennedy, not Schumer.)
