"The Democratic party"
If you can't use this term in a sentence then why does the official DNC website do it?

1. Because the phrase in question is "the Democrat Party".
Try again.

4. I'll try again.
Rightwing hate speech includes the deliberate use of the term 'the Democrat Party' instead of the proper term 'the Democratic Party'. It is used as an insult. It is intended to confuse and as coded hate speech. In your case it seems to have worked with respect to the confusion part.

5. Now I am confused
The reason I used the term is because it's on the official DNC website.

Please forive me sometimes I just need to be beat over the head a couple of times to understand something that should be clear to begin with.

2. Once again the meaning remains elusive
No matter how slim you slice it, it's still balogna

If a tree falls in the forest and George Bush is standing near by does it make a sound?

What is the sound of nothing?

8. Wtf?
How'd you muster up 1000+ posts here without figuring out the name of the party this forum is based on?
