Democrat vs. Democratic

[repete]

Have you noticed a strong push in the media lately to use the word democratic when describing a person? Such as (place name here) is a stanch democratic.
That may be a poor example but I think you get my drift. The difference in wording is subtle but important. They are Democrats yet they have basically removed their party members right to choose who they want for their president, that's hardly democratic! I'm not sure when I noticed that shift in words but it's been quite some time now. We see and hear them talk about democracy all the time and how it's up to them to save it, yet it's the democrat party that's trying to steal it! Just my .02

They are trying to link the democrats to what keeps us free. How ma y times has Biden and the democrats said vote for us if you want to preserve democracy? It’s a dangerous game that resulted in an assassination attempt. Yes the kid was a nut job but there is clear research out there that this messaging is bad and can lead to violence as well as how the media covers stories. I’ll go so far as to say the media wants Trump dead and if Trump was killed Biden would be nominated and not Harris.

I love it when professional politicians refer to the county as a democracy. Are they wordsmithing or are they really so ignorant not to understand what is a republic?

What about the peoples democratic republic of korea PDRK? Their both.

biden said republic in his speech to counter this argument and it means they are on to that as a slam against them.

biden looked like a funeral home corpse

It goes back to Obama and his overuse of the word Democratic.
HE was the one to start this "the Conservatives are destroying democracy" crap when he was president. We didn't even notice back then.....but he has ALWAYS had a plan. Nobody better sleep on Obama, he is still EXTREMELY relevant in US politics. Much more than many current serving politicians.

Republicans are also democratic and live in a democracy. Yes or No?

I wish obummer would go paddle boarding on that pond behind his house, like his cook did.

There is their insistence of associating "democrat" with "democracy" and if you'll notice, ALL the Democrats use "democracy" and never Constitutional Republic or "Republic" by itself...sounds too much like Republican, same as democracy sounds like democrat.

Nah it's simply poor grammar by a generation raised as useful idiots by educational system failing the youth.

"Bob is a democrat (noun) and a long standing member of the democratic (adjective) party, who believes in democracy (noun)" Gen X and older A+

"Democratic Bob is a democratic democrat who believes in democratic democracy" Millennial and younger A+ ( Gen X D-)

I am NOT Democratic by definition or Party. I do not believe that 51 people can take away the rights of 49 by a simple majority of 1. Just because 51 out of 100 people were brainwashed (by the two that own the news channel), that natural gas is a health hazard, that does not and should never justify them trying to take it away from the other 49. (Never mind the 42 anti-natural-gas members who get waivers to keep theirs).

Well said.

There is nothing democratic about the Democrat party.

I never, ever, refer to a "Democratic" party.
