[–] BlitzoTheOisSilent@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) I voted Harris, and my state went to Harris. Voted Democrat down ballot. Guess that makes me a Trump voter. 🤷♀️ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] aesthelete@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago (2 children) Your usage of subtle Republican grammar like "Democrat" where "Democratic" would obviously be more correct gives you away. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] BlitzoTheOisSilent@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) Y'know what... I started writing a whole thing out, and you're not worth it. Fucking "Democrat" versus "Democratic," for fuck's sake, no wonder we lost. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] aesthelete@lemmy.world -6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah, "we" lost. 🙄 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BlitzoTheOisSilent@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago You're so edgy, oh my gawdddddddddddddd permalink fedilink source parent [–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Uh, I'd say "vote Democrat" here too. Democrat is the noun, Democratic is the adjectival. In the sentence "Voted Democrat down ballot," Democrat is acting as a noun. Now if they had said "Voted for Democrat candidates down ballot," you'd have more of a point. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) Democratic administration sounds more correct than Democrat administration unless you're severely Fox News brained. I haven't ever heard anyone calling it a "Republic administration" which would sound just as wrong (and the wrongness is absolutely intentional IMO). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yes, Democratic Administration makes sense, because "Democratic" is acting as an adjective to "Administration". In this example you do want to use Democratic. But "Voted Democrat down ballot" still sounds fine to me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) The administration thing is what I thought was a clear Republican talking point indicator.
