Shot in the Dark

What’s In An Acronym?

The “Republican Farmer Labor” caucus picked a logo that looks suspiciously like the logo of another state organization that has (not coincidentally) nothing to do with farms or (non-government) labor:

The DFL has sent a “Cease and Desist” to the RFL.

Now, if I were the RFL’s lawyer, I’d response demanding that the DFL stop falsely pretending to represent farmers or non-government workers.

Which brought up an interesting question:  since 2/3 of the Democrat Farmer Labor party’s name is now obsolete, what should the party be called these days?

I’m taking nominations.

I’ll start out:

  • The Democrat Academic Plutocrat (DAP) Party.
  • The Democrat Academic Government Whole Foods Shopper Party (DAGWF)
  • The Democrat People Who Think John Oliver Is The Dreamiest Party (DQPTJOITD)

Others?

    You have to find a way to work “ELCA hair” into that.

    DEB: The Democrat-Educrat-Bureaucrat party.

    Or, more succinctly, The Leeches Party.

    The original idea of the DFL was to oust the Stalinists who controlled the Farmer-Labor party & absorb what remained into Humphrey’s Democrat party. This made the DFL a powerhouse for over fifty years.
    These days it looks like the Stalinists have ousted the Humphrey Democrats. With no Humphrey Democrats, no farmers, and no laborers, all you’ve got left is the Stalinists.

    Whatever, as long as you still resist their attempts to usurp the name “Democratics” that was a craze several years ago. Leave ’em as Democrats.

    To the subject of the post, here’s a pun-intended twofer:

    DDR: Democrat Despotic Regime.

    But in all seriousness, I think Scott’s acronym is most appropriate.

    Maybe the RDL could find an old DFL logo that isn’t copyrighted? It might recall the days when the DFL actually represented farmers and labor.
