I hope everyone is aware that there's *literally no party in America* called the "Democrat Party"

Anyone using any phrase to identify the Democratic Party other than the one the Democratic Party uses—"Democratic Party"—is using a smear so stupid a four-year-old would blush at it

Imagine how unserious and impossible to engage with for any generative purpose the Democratic Party would be thought to be if every official in the party used a rank slur to describe Republicans every time they talked about them

America hasn't had a real 2-party system for years

Rush Limbaugh came up with this smear because he thought it'd make him extra coin on the radio, and the entire Republican Party was so replete with cowards afraid of Limbaugh's audience—this was before Donald Trump—that they *literally changed what they call the Democratic Party*

When I am speaking to someone or listening to someone or watching someone or reading someone or listening to something about someone or reading about someone or watching a report about someone who uses the phrase "Democrat Party" I am out *immediately*, as the exchange is *over*

In fact I'd go further than this and say that if I were running a TV outlet I'd refuse to book anyone who slurs political opponents as a modus operandi

If you say "Democrat Party" on-air that interview should be over *immediately* and I'm not kidding about this

Enough is enough
