| petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | I always liked Ralph Nader? He advocated for gov employees to be paid once per year, wore second hand army boots, even when in a business suit. And as we all know, fought to have fuel tanks re positioned in road bombs. This is his explanation of how money destroyed the dem party, the party that years ago was thought to represent labor. [hint; follow the money] The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

I don't like his politics, but he is indeed telling the Democrat Party what has happened to them. As to representing labor, you can trace it to 1964 when the Democrats stopped that. A decade later, they would lose the white vote, essentially never to regain it. Unions followed them over the edge. My dad was always pro-union, big time. It was not until the 2000s that I pointed out to him that the unions were not backing everything he was against. He never fully left supporting them, but he finally saw my point. He would vote GOP, but he never switched parties. The President is a fink. |

| Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | What is the adjective form of Democrat? Somehow "Democrat Party" sounds like bad English but that seems to be the parlance of our times. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

I've heard "Democrat Party" since the mid 60s, and it has always sounded like a curse word to me. I believe only Republicans use that term. |

Republicans like to claim they aren't democratic, so they drop the "ic". At least that's my impression. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | If it's the Democratic party, then as individuals they would be Democratics, not Democrats. Republican party members are not Republics. They're Republicans. Democratic party members are Democratics. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Democrats like thinking they are "democratic" so over time the name got modified in use. Plural is not "Democratics" as in, "all my friends are Democratics!" Even singular, no button ever said, "Vote foo, Democrartic for Congress!" Having seen old political buttons, pre-1980s the term was way more "Democrat Party." The President is a fink. |

It's been the source of rancor since WWII.
