This is the influence of Rush Limbaugh. He wanted people to say “the Democrat party” instead of “the Democrats”. It sounds like “rat” and “democratic” is generally a good thing.
I actually forgot his name and had to look up “conservative radio host drugs”. Brought him up right away.
Always make sure to call it the Democratic party as a FU to him.

DNC is reserved for the party leadership. The democrats i encounter in the real world may or may not identify with the party leadership (e.x. the democrats i meet over the age of 65 tend to identify with Kennedy, not Schumer.)
What exactly is “Democratic” about the Democratic party?
The name. Same way Republicans work for the people republic just in the name.
As someone outside of the US, the amount of deceptive naming there is in your country is insane.
Any elected politician in the US is part of a democratic republic. So you could technically call them all “democratic” and “republicans.”
It is what it is, that’s why we say “small d,” “capital D,” “small r,” and “capital R.”
The system of government is a democratic republic, the two many parties are the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.
None of them are democratic, they’re actually all Republican.
…Because they’re representatives… In a republic. I was being literal. Yeesh, tough room.
Oh screw off with this. Bernie is republican? Come on man.
He is a representative in a republic… That’s just a fact
It’s also not the same as being a Republican
Yeah, he used capital R though so…
I took that as an implication that our political parties have stupid names
Further, it could be said that they are all republicans who act in a democratic manner.
