I read once that Jefferson never called the party he founded the democratic-republican party, it was always just the republican party to him, probably cause he found the phrase redundant.
he said something to the effect that to the extent a government had control by the people, the public, it was republican. In other words to the extent it was democratic it was republican.

Maybe we’ll have a Will Smith/Chris Rock moment. Otherwise it’s worse than watching paint dry.

If a minimum IQ of 100 was required to vote, one party would hold all the elected offices.

Dear Mr Carroll, you’re in rare form these days. It was well worth the long, Saharan drought!
