what do you think of "VOTE DEMOCRAT" ON A SIGN?

[Kali]

I like these signs being sold for a local fundraiser, except for the Democrat vs Democratic. sigh

1. Not For Me

I realize it's appropriate, but I don't like encouraging use of the term "Democrat"

2. after all the "Democrat-run cities" bullshit this week from the rnc...

I can barely stand to see that.

3. I was listening to Thom Hartman this morning

He talked about this subject and how the Republicans have been using this since Mcarthy as a negative because saying Democrat makes it sound like a “rat” while Democratic sounds more noble....and he says unfortunately it’s now in a lot of people’s lexicon

4. Fine as long as they vote "democrat " some imperfect colloquialism right now, I don't care

You can always mention it to the fundraiser. Others may be holding off just like you for the same reason.
So next time they don’t do that

9. good idea - I sent an email to them.

5. "Obamacare"

started as a dis.

6. If we embrace it, it loses power as a slur

I say go for it

[NightWatcher]

7. I'm a Democrat, the name doesn't feel like a slur, just slightly poor grammar.

Vote Democrat, Democratic Democrat, Straight D, D-train.....

Embrace the name and reclaim the power from the ass-faced trump-humpers!

8. I do not believe thats an issue in that context

The issue is primarily using democrat as an adjective... ie “the democrat party” ... this seems to be an adverb? Vote democratically ??

12. This

10. If they've already got them printed up, just deal with it...

...but send them a message about it. Maybe they'll change it for future prints.

It's got the most important parts right, and for existing materials the "ic" issue is already moot. You can't change already-printed matter.

11. I did send an email to them

but now I need to decide if I want to get some.
