8 or 10 years back, it was fashionable to spell 'Democrate' with that extra e.

He did not answer. He had no clue.
He was just sheeping along.

Always been a pet peeve of mine how little they allow disccussion of the Democratic party itself LiberalLovinLug Feb 2023 #19

I've seen plenty of CONSTRUCTIVE critiques of the Democratic Party, its leadership, strategies hlthe2b Feb 2023 #26

I've had personal experience with getting "hid" more than once. LiberalLovinLug Feb 2023 #35

I'm big on qualifiers and find that helps alleviate some who think in more black and white terms... hlthe2b Feb 2023 #36

I'm taking it that when you say "Democrat Party" instead of "DemocratIC Party", you are echoing... Silent3 Feb 2023 #41

Of course senseandsensibility Feb 2023 #42

Scare quotes around "Democrat" in the title of the post might be a good idea n/t Silent3 Feb 2023 #43
