I went through the page and I just don't see why this is a big deal. Now I can certainly understand something like calling the other side the "Know Nothings" when their actual name is the "Native American Party". But all I see here is getting the grammar slightly wrong. Especially because the term 'Democrat(s)' is acceptable when talking about party membership. The "Publican" hypothetical is just that, because no one actually uses that term. But you're welcome to. I likewise do not consider calling the Republican Party the GOP to be a derisive epithet. Or an individual to be a GOP'er. Again, there is no real life direct parallel that works in this situation.
