“ Allegheny County councilman in Pennsylvania: ‘I’m an elected official. I have had at least a dozen Democratic elected officials tell me that they are voting for Trump... but as Democratic elected officials they can’t come out and say it.“”
Why, oh why does everyone we the adjective Democratic to describe Democrat politicians, Democrat party platforms, Democrat legislation, etc.?
“Democrat elected officials in Pennsylvania voting for Trump, but quietly.“
Thank you, Conservativepoet, for getting it right! You are in good company: Ronald Reagan always used “Democrat”, rather than the ambiguous and pretentious “Democratic”. So does President Donald Trump. Always. Every time.
I know it seems like a small thing - but I think words and language are important - and the loss of linguistic clarity inevitably leads to a loss of clear thinking.
You’re welcome and you’re right. :0)
A pet peeve of mine, muchly!
It 'softens' the evil of just plain democrat as well.
Subtly.
THANK YOU!!! It always irks me to hear it called the DEMOCRATIC party when it’s the DEMOCRAT party!
See my tag line.
