MODERATORS
Saying something is obvious doesn't make it true. The only noun you use in your first comment is "Democrats" so how is this not a discussion about politics? I am having a discussion about politics and I'm going to do my best to use political terminology in its established scientific meaning not a niche dialect that you believe is "common use."
The world is much bigger than the USA. Americans only make up 15% of the English speaking world. What you call "common use" is just "ignorant and wrong" to the rest of us.
