is absurd. It's performative. It's virtue signaling to try and shame our best and experienced and loyal Democrats for not behaving like TV pundits or comedians. That's not "leadership"... It's not what men like Jeffries are elected to do.

I'd say your use of "Democrat primary" is out of place on this board... Wounded Bear Oct 2025 #3

Democrat as in have Jeffries primaried by another DEMOCRAT rather than a DEMOCRATIC candidate AStern Oct 2025 #12

"Too afraid to endorse a Democratic candidate from his district" sheshe2 Oct 2025 #33

AOC who is in thte House Disagrees with you. Cha Oct 2025 #63

Democrat is a noun. Democratic is an adjective. CrispyQ Oct 2025 #78

It's Democratic not Democrat and why is he an ineffective Representative for his district? betsuni Oct 2025 #4

In that context "Democrat" is correct BeyondGeography Oct 2025 #9

Thank you AStern Oct 2025 #13

'Democratic primary' or 'Democrat party primary' bigtree Oct 2025 #18

Seriously? BeyondGeography Oct 2025 #23

it's not the proper usage in the political sense. bigtree Oct 2025 #31

It is proper use. Go to the OP and read the whole sentence. FoxNewsSucks Oct 2025 #57

They are using "primary" as a verb. thought crime Oct 2025 #68

Are you a Democratic or a Republican? padfun Oct 2025 #80

Were you around when Newt Gingrich was Speaker of the House? He started the deliberately ungrammatical use of... Hekate Oct 2025 #34

Yes BeyondGeography Oct 2025 #38

I think people misunderstand SocialDemocrat61 Oct 2025 #25

Yes, and reasons why leaders are supposedly ineffective are vague: not standing up to things or meeting the moment betsuni Oct 2025 #35

Oh & Please see Post 43.. AOC evidently knows MORE Cha Oct 2025 #44

False. And the word is "Democratic" Hekate Oct 2025 #15

do tell bigtree Oct 2025 #16

Seems to be about endorsements. Oh well, sometimes matchmaking is ineffective. betsuni Oct 2025 #28

The OP used 'Democrat' correctly. Celerity Oct 2025 #74

The dictionary says democrat is a noun not an adjective, so democrat primary would be incorrect. CrispyQ Oct 2025 #81

You're misreading the OP's sentence. They correctly used Democrat as a noun. This is basic English syntax. I fail to see Celerity Oct 2025 #82

My thoughts are that Rep. Jeffries was unanimously reelected House Minority Leader in November, 2024 by his peers. LudwigPastorius Oct 2025 #69
