In fact, the Democrat Party is less democratic than the other political parties.
'''Democrat Party''' is the grammatically correct term for the [[Democratic Party]]. The Party is not "democratic," and proper nouns like "Democrat" are not converted into adjectives by adding "ic" as a suffix. It is not the "Republicanic Party," or the "Libertarianic Party," or a "Smith-ic Wedding." Predictably, many Democrats dislike the term "Democrat Party," perhaps because the official name is the "Democratic Party of the United States" since 1844<ref>{{citeweb|url=http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x897044|title=The Official History of the Democratic Party and the DNC|date=December 13, 2003|accessdate=August 5, 2014}}</ref> and perhaps they prefer the false illusion that their party is somehow more "democratic" than other parties.
