"Democratic" and "Republican" are okay, but not super descriptive.

What would be better names for our parties that better reflect their policies?

I have some suggestions but I don't think the filter on this site will let me post such language.

Cliche as empty-quoting is, I gotta give credit where it's due.

I actually like that they're not descriptive. It's not the "Liberal" Party of the "Conservative" Party. The Democratic and Republican Parties, at least in theory, stand for America and her ideals.

Why have two different names when one will do?

In keeping with the forum's official code of ethics ("everyone who disagrees with me is a fascist"), I propose the following names:

Democrats --> "Puppies and Rainbows for Love and Freedom Party"
Republicans --> "Evil KKKorpratist Warmonger Party"

How did this meme get steam that just because the GOP went hard right the Democrats followed in that direction and stopped somewhere around the center?!  Their social moderates/conservatives met the EXACT same fate as the GOP's social moderates/liberals, and the fiscal debate within the party this primary season isn't even center left, let alone center right.

LOL, guess it depends on your perspective.  Most people, including most Democrats, would disagree.  And it's not like your or any other European's opinion really matters; you wouldn't care what we thought of your politics, if we gave a sh|t in the first place. Wink

Lust-Envy-Pride Party
Wrath-Avarice-Gluttony Party

So does this make the Republicans the "Chastity-Kindness-Humility Party" and the Democrats the "Patience-Charity-Temperance  Party"? Tongue
