People usually call that a "lowercase D democrat"

    I always mix those up, let alone wonder how well other people know the difference so I just tend to explain as I go kind of thing, if that makes sense

    “D” is capitalizing a proper noun, the name for the political party. Proper nouns should be capitalized.

    “d” for the system of governance, not a proper noun.

    Anyone that cares to know the difference will likely note it. Hope that helps.
