Yet when used to describe The Republican party, it employs an uppercase 'R' because it is a proper noun.musicman said:*sigh*
Notice that the adjective, "republican ", employs a lowercase "r".
Nice attempt at being smart, though. Maybe you'll do better next time.
No, a Democrat belongs to the Democratic party. You can look it up if you wish.Not in the "what kind of" sense - only the "which". A Democrat, therefore, belongs to the Democrat Party.
The Democratic Party
Yes, and "The Democratic Party" is a proper noun. I know you must be confused. Click on that link above. You are correct if you were referring to a member of a democratic party, that the 'd' would be lowercase, however for this country, The Democratic Party is a proper noun.You'll find, "democratic", but you won't find, "Democratic". Go ahead and coyly aver that you're not a supporter of the democratic party (yeah, right), but don't try to confer upon that term the status of "proper adjective".
I'm not the one who's having trouble. You're the one who keeps insisting that people belong to a democrat party, which makes as much sense as people belonging to a republic party.English is a tricky language (conveniently so, for those who would twist and pervert it for their own ends - typically liberals), but hang in there. You'll get it.
Bottom Line:
You know you're wrong, quit trying to argue semantics. There is no democrat party.
