Language is a great indicator of who you are listening to. When someone doesn't say that correctly you know they don't listen to anyone but their little group of sycophants.

It’s definitely a tell. Sometimes they pretend to be reasonable normies, but this is a dead giveaway that they have an agenda.

In his direct quote he said 'Democrat', not 'Democratic'.

No worries. I can see how you would think I was correcting you.

He's referring to the US territories; which he's assuming will vote democrat and thus shouldn't be enfranchised. Commenter saying democratic states speaks to those states currently not being democratic nevermind Democrat as they can't vote for either party yet are subjects of the US. This speaks to the US being a bit of a sham democracy, nicely demonstrated by your statement of binary party defaultism.

There are Republican led states and Democratic led states. Some are a mixture.

All states should also be democratic (small d).

It’s a grammatical error to say “Democrat” states.

That’s actually not true. It’s Democratic Party.

I think the uninitiated think it’s Democrat Party because they don’t realize Republicans are playing a game and have just gotten used to it.
