The party you refer to as the “Democrat” party refers to itself as the Democratic Party.

I notice you refer to yourself on your About page as Dustin Smith. Turnabout would make it fair play to refer to you as Dust. So, Dust, I’m sure you won’t mind if I do.

Of course you might object that I’m only calling you that because it’s an ugly and belittling name. Well, as I said, turnabout is fair play.

Actually, a lot of my friends do call me Dust. My sister calls me Dirty. I don’t mind either one, because we all know what we mean and how we feel about each other. Anyways, I’ll try to be more careful with my political grammar in the future.
