Hey Gavin Newsom - since way too many Dems won't do it

Could you call out all the semi-literates (starting with Donvict) who do not know the difference between an adjective and a noun.
Members of the Democratic Party are Democrats. There is no Democrat Party.
Expose their ignorance 24/7.
Thanks in ADshadyVANCE. 😀

I respond, "please speak English with respect" giving them the choice- either stop the child-like petulance or immediately receive the response, "your ESL is improving. Now work on the basics again. Good luck!"

They haven't had a new idea in 100 years. Same shit year after year after year after year. Its like these fast food joints and burgers. They have dressed them up in so many different ways to the point people forget its still a fucking hamburger at its core

It's just amazing that the Dems don't call those bastards out each time they say "Democrat party".

9. It is not ignorance, it is on purpose as it is when they mispronounce democrat's names.

It is their way of owning the libs.
