That's how it started - now in their minds every Democrat is illegitimate.

They should not get the right to change the Democratic Party's name.

but every time they do it, it shows how petty & childish they are.

We don't have to point it out to the populace, the childish requbs do it for us.

(I know, requbs is childish too,but it hasn't been said on the floor. Yet!)

The only way to stop a bully is to call them out. It should be called out every time and they should not be allowed to proceed until corrected. The R snowflakes would have a fit if we routinely called them the repub/ repug / rethug party.

Could we start calling them Republic party? Plenty of names we could rightly call them but this just closely matches their attempts.
