It’s because “democratic” is only an adjective while “republican” can also be a noun. Does it make sense to say “The democratics oppose this legislation?” No.

Before you all downvote this, check Webster dictionary if you don’t believe me.
- amznthrwaway 6y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democrat_Party_(epithet) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democrat_Party_(epithet) "The Democrat Party" is a linguistically awkward phrase (it misuses a noun as an adjective) which is only in common use amongst right-wingers who use it as a signal. If you don't believe come you can check "Webster dictionary" [sic] regarding parts of speech, or the above link about the intent of the phrase.
