#2The adjective form of Democrat is Democratic. Perhaps as a German the author is unaware that usages like "all the democrat votes are ignored" are repeating the Republicans' deliberately insulting word choice.

> The adjective form of Democrat is Democratic.
This doesn't seem to be widely supported.
Vox.com (a left-leading outlet) uses "Democrat voters" frequently, eg:
"...while 82 percent of Democrat voters named the pandemic the top issue.."

#6Am I the only centre-left type person in the world who thinks the Electoral College isn't a bad thing (in theory at least).
In the Westminster 2-house system in Australia voters vote for representation from their seat. These seats have approximately the same number of people, but they also vote for an upper-house representative and the smaller states are over-represented in terms of population.
This is because otherwise it becomes easy for a federal government to only govern for the very large populations in the cities, and that is bad for the country as a whole - places outside those large population bases are disenfranchised because no amount of voting would matter.
The electoral college seems to do a similar thing. I don't think it's perfect, but in principle I don't see it as a bad things that people in say Montana have a means to influence the presidency.

The title is "... in old elections .."

#8Always keep in mind that however distorted the electoral college is, that distortion is tremendously magnified by the cap on the size of the US house of Representatives and the fact that the Constitution specifies a lower bound for district population but no upper bound.

it is absolutely true that “Democrat party” as opposed to “Democratic party” is a Republican shibboleth for some reason.
Democrats themselves don’t seem to think about it much but there is a portion of conservative media that is very careful to always say “Democrat party”.
