what that word means to you, I am only left to wonder why you choose to toss asparagus at a fellow DUer and irrefutably Democratic partisan, when there are so many available wingnuts to attack.

Since I apparently need to explain my post:

1) I was attacking SHITLER, as I always do (and always attack wingnuts, not fellow Dems/DUers);

2) I was seconding the O.P. about SHITLER's absence on a solemn Memorial Day as unpatriotic and another of his derelictions of our country's leader's duties;

3) I was careful to insert "former" in "former enemy", and my use of ""fraternizing" modifies the two words phrase, an allusion to SHITLER's penchant for hanging with full out enemies, or here a "former " enemy if that's what's available instead of hanging with the country on a solemn occasion;

Since your pronouncement somehow regarding "fraternizing" presuming to be on behalf of the Democratic Party is just dangling out there, I can't address it and am not interested to know what you mean, and can't type enough on a phone - and our previous similarly vexing encounters show again that you and I have nothing to say to each other, now and never. I assure you that both of us would be very happy if you would put me on Ignore.

12. I am not a snowflake so I never put anyone on Ignore.

But of course you are free to choose a different option.

It is what the dictionary means not what "it means to" me.

To the point from the dictionary:

frat·er·nize
/ˈfradərˌnīz/
verb
gerund or present participle: fraternizing
associate or form a friendship with someone, especially when one is not supposed to.
"she ignored Elisabeth's warning glare against fraternizing with the enemy"

Including the 4th of July in years past. I guess he is trying to let certain countries and/or dictators know he is not loyal to the USA.
