Hrmm.
Seeing this again reminds me when I was recently told saying "Democrats" instead of "Democratic Party" is an indicator of having been watching too much right wing media.
The one I see more often is "Democrat Party". I don't know if they're insinuating that the party isn't actually democratic, but in any case it's weird and always seemed like another way to manipulate speech and signal who is in the in-group vs. the out-group.
Im not sure thats a real thing.
Possibly a divide and muddle attempt.
As an "independant" non fascist, non billionaire type i use Republicans/Democrats more than i use the full Party names because its less to type.
