I've been seeing this totally organic discourse popping up in 
comments. They found a new silver bullet that allows them to ignore anything being said
Democrats clutching pearls instead of fighting fascism is going to get fascism faster, and it will be all the fault of leftists somehow
okay but isn't Democratic an adjective and Democrat a noun? Doesn't even make sense grammatically.
They want people to conflate the program of their bourgeois party with actual democracy.
Republicans use “Democrat” as an adjective. That’s the “slur”. It’s more like a dogwhistle or ingroup speech than anything. Kind of like how sometimes chuds here give themselves away by saying “straight white male” instead of “cishet white dude”
I prefer the term dongus-holding kkkracker personally
I am a person with unfortunately exposed weak-points.
(By exposed I mean not protected by all the bone and fleshy bits that protect the rest of my vital organs)
It is grammatically valid.
"The <adjective> Party" means the party that values the principles of <adjective>.
"The <noun> Party" is the party comprised of <nouns>. The "Carpenter Party" means the party comprised of carpenters. The "Plumber party" means the party comprised of plumbers.
"The Democratic Party" is the party that values the principals of Democracy.
"The Democrat Party" is the party comprised of Democrats.
Denouncing the Democratic Party means denouncing the principals of Democracy. Denouncing the Democrat party means denouncing the people who call themselves Democrats.
I thought this post was about reddit getting mad that the word "Democrat" was used at all to describe a member of the Democratic Party, and I was making the point that of course they do, no one's gonna call a member of the Democratic Party a "Democratic." But people explained what this post was about below.
