→Democrat vs Democratic Party: adding in my two cents
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)

:Not me. I'm going to continue using the term Democrat Party to refer to them (and the use of that reference is picking up in popularity among the public) and I don't care how the Democrats (or liberals in general) feel about it.
