They should absolutely stop saying it. They rigged their 2016 and 2020 primaries to change the outcome, and then bypass a 2024 primary entirely.
It is quite literally the opposite of democratic.
Jesus Christ, that's not what I meant....
Some dude said it's "democrat", not "democratic... Who says the democrat primaries? Nobody.
That's the same as saying the Republic Primaries rather than the Republican Primaries.
This is what happens when you people open up their mouths and you have no idea what you're talking about. Cheers.

Lisa Murkowski- she counts as a Dem
Susan Collins, too. However, when the opposition is an avowed CommuNazi, I'd take Susan any day.

You civics inept idiots need to stop using democratic in place of democrat...
What is the actual name of the party?
It is the "Democratic Party" that was founded in 1828. The governing body is the "Democratic National Committee".
The civic inept idiots need to stop being bothered by this, because we are a " Democratic Republic"...and the "Republican Party", led by the "Republican National Committee" is named so, to reflect this.
Democratic Representation and Republican Representation are two different things.
A purely Democratic system is ruled by a pure majority...a Republic (or Constitutional Republic) is where officials are elected to represent the citizens.
Most accurately...we are NOT a Democracy...we are a Constitutional Representative Republic. Getting your panties in a wad because of what a party calls themselves is a bit extreme.

Alaska, Wyoming, and the Dakotas are single seats. They can't be gerrymandered.

This accurate?
But it's a little misleading, because in the Republican group, several of the examples are not the result of gerrymandering.
None of these are gerrymandered:
Idaho 2
West Virginia 2
Montana 2
Alaska 1
North Dakota 1
South Dakota 1
Wyoming 1
In fact, arguably, none of the Republican group is gerrymandered, whereas Connecticut and Massachusetts are.
