"American Jews overwhelmingly tend to vote Democrat..."

Strike one. Referring to the Democratic Party as the "Democrat Party" is a shibboleth of the extreme right.


Strike one. But it doesn't say "American Jews overwhelmingly tend to vote Democrat Party"; it says "American Jews overwhelmingly tend to vote Democrat". You are addressing an issue that isn't the one at hand.

Strike two. "Vote Democrat(ic) Party" isn't English.

Strike three. "Vote Democrat" is much more common than "Vote Democratic" by a margin of over two to one (Google's current numbers are 634,000 to 398,000). This isn't as marginal a usage as you think.

Strike four. The vast majority of image results for "vote Democrat" seem to have been made by supporters of the Democratic Party. Therefore your allegation that it is right-wingers who use the phrase "vote Democrat" is empirically false.

Strike five. Your post's header starts "Posted by Nilet"; this suggests that it is highly likely to be wordy, anal, and comprehensively wrong. At least on this count you have not disappointed.
