Democrat Party
This "red flag" is meaningless to people broke the age of 50 or so. I am a Democrat. I vote for the candidate who is a Democrat. Obama was a Democrat.
I don't have time to get pissy over the difference between the noun and the adjective. If that's all the points they can score on us, they are welcome to them.
The review by 538 is a much more important judgement.
When your choice is keeping the status quo, or everything getting a lot worse, that doesn't seem to be a difficult choice.
