The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Have you actually paid attention to the Democrat party?

Peter, please don't use Democrat Party, it's something the right has used as an insult. It is the Democratic Party and the only party now upholding our nation's democratic principles.

According to Oxford Dictionaries, the use of Democrat rather than the adjective Democratic "is in keeping with a longstanding tradition among Republicans of dropping the –ic in order to maintain a distinction from the broader, positive associations of the adjective democratic with democracy and egalitarianism".

Funny, because we can see how the new Trumpian party hates democracy and egalitarianism.
