> US Democrat party (which is frequently misstated as the "Democratic party")

Where are you getting this? The proper term is indeed "Democratic party", and this is almost universal outside of the conservative bubble. You might personally think it's not small-d democratic, but that doesn't make "Democrat party" correct.

Sorry man, I misremembered and reversed the terminology (democrat versus democratic). What I would have written had I recalled correctly is that a member of the Democratic party is called a Democrat (two distinct suffixes), while a member of the Republican party is called a Republican (same word).

Independents and foreigners also use it, to distinguish the description from the political party. Using the official term I think much more indicates a US liberal bubble.
