https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democrat_Party_(epithet)

Democrat Party is an epithet for the Democratic Party in the United States, used in a disparaging fashion by the party's opponents. While historical and occasional current usage includes non-hostile appearances (including from within that party), the term has grown in its negative use since the 1940s, in particular by members of the Republican Party—in party platforms, partisan speeches, and press releases—as well as by conservative commentators.[1] While there is grammatical argument regarding the propriety of use of both of the terms, with ending and without, ongoing use of the shortened term for political ends is a source of irritation to members of the Democratic Party.[2]

Chuckie love the attention the Social Media gives him after he does his False Equivalency Schick. Never forget,his is a Failed Presidential Campaign Manager of the Nineties. Only Campaign Manager who sent his Campaign Bus to a neighboring State for a meet and greet during the Iowa Caucuses.

It simply should be a correction of fact- it is the Democratic Party. It is also basic fucking English.
I wish Democrats would remind the media and the ReTHUG hacks every time they say it. I also wish a Dem activist would call them ReTHUGs on air.

It would be so refreshing to hear a panel on radio or TV with both Republicans and Democrats, in which the moment a Republican refers to "Democrat party," the Democrat(s) start referring to "Repub party" or "Lican party" or such. And if asked by the moderator what is meant by that, explain that "Democrat party" is pejorative. Serve up some eddjukation to the public.
