This might be petty but as I am watching Brooke Baldwin on CNN, whenever

[mfcorey1]

dialogue requires her to say Democratic, she continually says Democrat like all other rethugglicans. IJS

3. Republics. Or the very descriptive: Russiapublicans

[Ohiogal]

2. You aren't alone

I, too, cringe always hearing them say “Democrat” (noun) when the proper terminology should be “Democratic” (adjective). They think it disses us when they say that. I just tell myself they can’t speak English and need to go back to 3rd grade.

4. It is not petty

Dems should call out these hacks. It sickens me

[GoCubsGo]

5. Yes, Brooke Baldwin sounds petty when she uses "Democrat" instead of "Democratic."

Just as every other republican who uses it sounds petty. Probably because they ARE petty.

6. Maybe if enough of us wrote to them

they would try to change that. After all it is a grammar issue and they sound like stupid Baggers when they say it like that. Make sure you mention how they all sound like that idiot Rush who started that.

I really do not think a lot of people think about that much anymore. It started in the 80's. We are going to have to take the language back ourselves and it would seem a good place to start would be with the media.

7. I always say repubs

it's not overtly offensive, but sends the message

[Hortensis]

8. Smile at the tiny-minded pettiness, thank her for identifying

her orientation so clearly, and be proud to be called a Democrat.

NEVER be offended at being referred to as Democrat -- that'd be every bit as clueless and slack-principled as their "you're a stupid poo-poo" mentality.

9. Tapper did that in an interview with Buttigieg.

Several here commented on how well Buttigieg corrected him.

I lost respect for Tapper after that.
