Get the democrataclysm mug.A person member of the US democratic party who holds conservative views and is considered disconnected from the current state of the party and there constituents.
These people, who are mostly over 65, tend to hold neo-libral views and support policies like lowering taxes, the regulating corporations, Defunding social programs and increased military spending. Some are republicans who have migrated to the other side after the election of donald trump, and some are lifetime democrats who would be indistinguishable from Republicans 20 years ago. Old democrats tend to be obsessed with the idea of “bi-partisanship” and will often sacrifice popular support for the sake of not appearing “Polarizing”.
Prominent old Democrats include, joe biden, Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren, and Nancy Pelosi.

Get the Old Democrat mug.A system within which fairness and merit is despensed with in favour of empowering idiots.
As Plato pointed out - the people do not always know best, even what is best for them (in the same way a small child doesn't!)
Current democracies feature governments with the support of a minority of the population and a bias towards those who form the majority and so therefore have their every whim pandered to on the basis that it wins votes.

Tony Blair's slightly less than popular government.
The UK system of doling out benefits to those too lazy to work, but who still vote.
Democracy.

Get the Democracy mug.I can't believe what's been happening in America since that Republican was elected. Destruction of civil liberties, supporting the banks, endless war? Not with a Democrat in the White House!

Apparently, a word used by extremely angry and inarticulate Republicans to heap all of their fear, hate, and prejudice on to the Democratic party.

I unilaterally support our country's leader, and embrace his ideologies as if they were my own- including his hardcore Evangelical Christianity. That's why I hate these gay, stupid, environmentally-concerned, stupid, gay, gay, liberal, stupid gay Democraps!

Get the Democraps mug.An online political message board. Supposedly intended for liberals, it's home to nearly as many conservative disruptors as members of its target audience. In the case of the Gun Control and Right to Keep and Bear Arms forum, it's home to many MORE disruptors than genuine members. Some of these trolls last for years accumulating literally tens of thousands of posts before they are banned. Note that I specified 'banned' instead of 'detected', as the troublemakers are usually recognized as such far before they are eliminated. And for every slackmaster, dfk or jody that eventually gets tombstoned, there's a hack89, Lurks Often, or Far Center that remains.
The reason for this lax approach to enemies is not easy to discern. Perhaps there is some benefit (site traffic) to the owners in keeping around those who stir the pot. Ironically, in maintaining a liberal board where conservatives are tolerated, the website resembles an open forum whose members are nearly equal divided between the two sides. Which says a lot about the state of political discourse on the Internet.

Jimbo, I've been posting on Democratic Underground for ten years, and they haven't eliminated me yet!
