You want bipartisanship and cannot even call the opposition party by its correct name.

He does it to get a reaction, which it always gets. I just ignore it because I know he's being intentionally ignorant. It's about the least ignorant thing he does, frankly, but everything is relative.

but that's just me - they use it to diminish the party - they are saying that they can call the party what they want and that is bullshit.

derogatory.
You're in the middle of a fucking medical crisis and can't get a party name correct.
I'd publicly correct them every fucking time they say it.
