→Democrat vs Democratic Party: reply
::Finally, this is an encyclopedia, an educational resource. Let's say somebody comes to the Tammany Hall page who knows nothing about US politics. Which link will teach him or her more; one going into the history and beliefs of the party, or anot article that's only about why the party should be called the "Democrat Party" instead of the "Democratic Party"? How is that going to help the reader? If we want to be an encyclopedia, let's be an encyclopedia.--[[User:Whizkid|Whizkid]] ([[User talk:Whizkid|talk]]) 15:07, 8 January 2018 (EST)

:::Coddling liberal feelings shouldn't take precedence over simple facts (as the quote I provided makes clear). If anything though, what could (and ought to) be done is to move the content of the Democratic Party article (with modifications made, such as changing "Democratic" to "Democrat" where applicable [except for quotes made by politicians and other public figures]) into the Democrat Party article and redirect the former into the latter.
