Talk:Tammany Hall

"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 {{fact}} tag is justified. HelpJazz 19:03, 13 October 2008 (EDT)

The term often used for cirrupt machines in other cities was "little Tammany." For proof see google search listing of many examples. RJJensen 19:34, 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. [1] 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. --David B ^(TALK) 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. As the header in the Democrat Party article itself states:

“

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. For example, it is not the "Republicanic Party," or the "Libertarianic Party," or a "Smith-ic Wedding." yet many Democrats bristle at the term "Democrat Party." and perhaps they prefer the false illusion that their party is somehow more "democratic" than other parties. In fact, the Democrat Party is less democratic than the other political parties.
