Please use the word "democratic", not "democrat", as the latter is what the republithugs call us.

Interesting, I guess republican dirty tricks have permeated democratic circles as well. If something is repeated enough times, it becomes the word.

I mean look, you are a "Democrat" not a "Democratic".

It's a stylistic choice that is grammatically correct.

Trust me I know what you are getting at but in certain contexts, just the word Democrat is fine. "Democrat party" is not.

'New Democrat' for the Old Democratic Party

Regardless, this is exciting to see them endorse Shontel Brown.

They clearly support Democrats who honor the life long works & achievements against all odds, of our Party's greatest leaders.
Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, VP Harris etc.

Bravo Shontel Brown!
💙👍
