To any elected DC Dem who happens to read DU, a request, please . . . .

[Stinky The Clown]

. . . . . stop them calling us the Democrat Party.

I know. A small thing. Maybe even inconsequential. But consider the impact on YOUR BASE if you were to beat them down over this. We would all be cheering. For YOU.

This gets cranked up to eleventeen when a big, high profile vote, like today's regarding QQeen's continuance on committees., is on the schedule. Every despicable back bench nitwit gets up there and grandstands about the Democrat Party.

Make it stop.

The credit will accrue to you.

1. You can look for DC Doms on the dark web. Wait, you fixed it! Never mind.

[Stinky The Clown]

2. Typo fixed before even reading your reply

[samnsara]

10. i watched it change right on the screen!!!

[DonViejo]

3. The very reason they call us the Democrat Party ...

is because people get twisted by their intentional insult. Let it go, there are bigger issues

[sweetloukillbot]

5. Just assume they're assholes and ignore it is my attitude.

They think it's some sort of big gotcha, but this is one case I won't feed the trolls.

[TwilightZone]

13. It makes them sound like idiots.

I don't generally mind it because they're going to do it regardless of what I think and it makes them easier to spot.

[GoCubsGo]

15. Yes, thank you.

They can just casually reply, "I can't speak for the Democrat Party, but the Democratic Party..." It makes THEM look juvenile and petty, without coming off as angry.

4. K & R

It's pissing me off big time

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

6. In that case, they're winning. They WANT to piss you off. Ignore it.

To me, it's at the same level as someone saying "nucular" when they mean "nuclear". A typically right-wing mispronunciation.

Sit back and smile.

[hurl]

8. Agree

Maybe we just own it as a badge of honor and take away its power.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

12. Like when Obama called ACA "Obama-care". It took some of the wind out of Fox's sails. nt

[malaise]

16. No n/t

[TwilightZone]

14. That's why they do it.

Ignore it. It's not going away.

[stillcool]

7. like this?

[TwilightZone]

9. It won't stop them.

Bringing attention to it will just make them do it more. They're like children in that regard.

[Elwood P Dowd]

11. Start calling them names like Qpublican party or GQP (nm)

[csziggy]

20. The Repuq Party has a nice ring to it - pronounced "re-PUKE" nt

[FakeNoose]

18. It's the Democratic Party and the Republican Party

I can't understand the logic here.

If Democratic Party is now = Democrat Party

then Republican Party is also = Republic Party

Only an imbecile would try to say otherwise. But of course the original point is that "Democrat Party" is grammatically incorrect as well as insulting.

I'll just continue referring to them as Repukes until they stop with this.

[csziggy]

22. Or call them REPUQs nt

[FakeNoose]

23. Ooooh I LOVE that!

Repuqs
Repuqs
Repuqs

I could get used to this real quick!

[TwilightZone]

19. It dates to at least 1889

In other words, it ain't going anywhere.

21. I'm not sure how members of the Democratic Party MAKE them stop it.

They do it to piss us off. That is truly how petty they are.
