Actually you are wrong. It is the Democrat party not the Democratic party.

When a cause is brought forth by the Democrat party, I call it a Democrat cause. When a cause is brought forth to increase democratic representation it is a "democratic" cause.

If you read my prior posts I am consistent. I always refer to the Democrat party and Democrat causes.

When I refer to causes not having anything to do with the Democrat party but are used to implement more direct representation I call them democratic.

In addition, when referring to the party or its causes the word is capitalized: like Democrat Party, or Democrat causes. But when you are talking about more direct representation then the word is not capitalized: as in - "We need to implement more democratic reforms so the people are better represented."
