→Democrat vs Democratic Party: new section
"By extension, the term is applied to all Democratic electoral corruption." I did searches for "tammany hall", "tammany hall modern corruption" and "tammany hall modern democrats" and only came up with sources referring, the historical Tammany Hall, not anything modern. Therefore, the <nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki> tag is justified. [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 19:03, 13 October 2008 (EDT)

== Democrat vs Democratic Party ==
I had never really thought much of this issue, but I finally went and did a little research on the subject. It seems that "Democratic Party" is considered the proper term (although it still isn't accurate). I hate to reference NPR, but they would know all about how liberals feel, and with an extensive, detailed article they explain why "Democratic Party" is correct, and "Democrat Party" hurts their fragile egos. [https://www.npr.org/sections/ombudsman/2010/03/since_when_did_it_become_the_d.html] Although I have no qualms about hurting their egos, other sources seem to back up this argument. I've often used "Democrat Party" myself, but it seems I should try to avoid that in the future. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 11:21, 8 January 2018 (EST)
