No borders? Guys the Dems aren't that left

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago

Also, don’t the Dems want to let girls NOT have balls? Its the Republicans who get grumpy when Trans women get gender affirming surgery.

Obama doubled the amount of border patrol agents. Which seems like a much better use of money than a wall, at least according to… the border patrol.

Pretty sure that's the joke - if only the dems were as progressive as the cons make them out to be...
(that' how I took it anyway)

Republicans are the ones who keep trying to make those girls still have balls

But also don’t threaten me with a good time

I normally hate the Democratics due to them being just being the lesser of two evils but I must say this makes them look great

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the Dem leadership in the minds of Republican demagogues (but I repeat myself) are many times better than the ones in reality, always have been.

That's it, i'm moving to the US right now.

I actually love that I can't tell if this is for or against the Dems

I have to assume it's supposed to be against, because nobody who actually votes Democrat thinks that's what they support

Dude! You already struck oil! No need to keep digging.

*Vote Democratic.

Vote Democrat is just bad grammar.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Democrats are one of the two parties in the US so "vote democratic" doesn't make sense. How else would you vote?

[–] GiddyGap@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Democrat is a noun. Democratic is an adjective. You can say "vote for a Democrat," but you can't say "vote Democrat" because you're referring to the Democratic Party where "Democratic" is the adjective. In that case, it would be "vote Democratic."

Republicans love to use slurs like "the Democrat Party." That's probably where you've heard it.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is just grammar nazi bullshit. Give me empirical evidence that anybody would say "Vote Democratic". It's a phrase I've never heard but I'm not American and not a native speaker. The authority lies with native speakers but not language purists who think they are better than others.

[–] GiddyGap@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not trying to be better than anyone, and I do agree that it may not be the biggest of deals. But I'm a native speaker, and I'm just pointing out the grammar part and making people aware that it's a Republican epithet.

Here's an article about it for your enjoyment: https://www.npr.org/sections/publiceditor/2010/03/26/114585414/since-when-did-it-become-the-democrat-party
