As I pointed out on Twitter, Democrats are called ‘Democrats’ despite the fact that their party name is ‘The Democratic Party.’ For example: Schumer and Gillibrand are NY Democrats.
Now, why would we say ‘Schumer and Gillibrand are Democrats,’ but we will say ‘Schumer and Gillibrand, Democratic Senators from NY’? Why add this ‘tic’?
The answer is simple: Schumer’s initial party name was ‘Democrat,’ (and/or ‘The New Democrat’). But to fool voters into thinking that Democrats are “Democratic” while their opponents are Communists or what have you, the Democrats changed their party name to ‘The Democratic Party,’ but its members are still good-old ‘Democrats.’
Any time Democrats can brainwash voters about their intentions, the Democrats like to be called by their Party name, such as “Schumer, Democratic Senator from NY.” But old habits die hard so he and his buddies call themselves and are called ”The Democrats.”
To rub it into the Democrats, they should from now on be called ”The Democratics,” or in singular term ‘Democratic,” like Charlie Rangel, Democratic, NY.
The Democratics will sure hate that they are always named ‘The Democratics’, but if they can’t stand it, Democratics should ALWAYS be called Democrat/Democrats, and stop playing this undemocratic game…
By the way, does anyone know how many seats the Democratics will lose in November? Few think that my Congressman, a NY Democratic, will lose his seat.
