      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.

          Under his lead. You are being pedantic. It was part of his states goals and platform. And his party overwhelmingly voted for it.

          Traditionally border patrol pushes have been failures, they get more staff but generally super underqualified and often times cartel linked. Yes it’s a better use of money but training the ones we have to actually be effective is better use.

      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)

    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

      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.

    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

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

        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.

          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.

              First: I’m sorry for having mistaken you for a jerk. There have been a lot over on r*ddit and here I have seen them too, but you aren’t one of them and I’m sorry.

              Second: I’m still not convinced either. It doesn’t say “Vote the Democrat party”, I see now how this would be wrong. Adjectives always stay before a noun (or at the end of a sentence after a form of to be). In the case of “Vote Democrats”, “vote” is the verb and “Democrats” the object and therefore a noun (in contrast to “democratic votes” were votes is a noun and democratic the adjective).

              Sure, the post doesn’t say that neither. “Vote a Democrat” or “vote your local Democrat” would work but a singular without an article of any kind not so much.

                Thanks for the response. I appreciate it. It’s ok to agree to disagree. Especially on a minor issue like this.
