Meaning, much of what you say is best understood if one assumes you view the primary conflict in society is between Democrats/Republicans. Or perhaps Liberals/Conservatives which would be more in line with being a registered independent.
Your taking issue with the standard capitalization of proper nouns resulting in the Democratic Party getting a big "D" seems to fall in line with this view. Otherwise, it should just be a matter of proper grammar with no bearing on the significance of the capitalization of the letter "D".
If this is accurate, I'm hoping you can help me understand how you came to this view? Can you pinpoint when it occurred to you that this divide was both real, and that it was of major significance?
I admit, sometimes, I'm asshole. I see so many conflict, on so many levels, it really hard to say "primary conflict."
I grant you, I'm not sure what this fight is about nor why is so such blindness on both sides of this. Since I registered to vote many years ago, I've been Independent. I could see that good nature of many of the Democrat I met, and I could see their points. My heart has been more Republican, they are, for the most part, the people I really like to hang out with. I really didn't like Obama, so I voted for McCain and Romney, while voting Democrat on the other race. And this last time, I didn't like Hillary, but I was going to give her a fair shake. I could sort of see what she was saying, but hey, 33,000 emails is 33,000 emails.
So I researched, and damn, what I found really concerned me. What Candace is talking about is real thing. Not just because she is saying it, but because thousands of researchers support her. This is a political matter. To me, that means that some people are dedicated to discrediting her, while others dedicated to protecting her. In such cases, impossible to have all the facts, or truth, or whatever you base your reality on. For me, I like her message. When I watch her lectures and I watch young people stand up and they want to be free of all their hate and blame, I get excited. It seems right to me.
On the other hands, when I want a BLM rally, where they are blaming everyone for their problems, it seems wrong to me. I mean, wouldn't it be great to be able to march and blame people for my problems?
Anyway, I don't really care about the capitalization of Democrats, but I don't agree with it, in terms that "democracy" is little (d)ed because of it.
I actually LIKE Candace and her message. I would refer to her as "My Girl" but some people might take offense to that. But of any public personality in the world, she is my favorite. Do I expect her to be perfect? Not really, but for effort people have put into trying to discredit her, she must be a reincarnated saint.

And I have heard her say that she is actually a Democrat. I can understand this. The message the Democrats put forth is tempting to get behind. What Candace is saying is that the Democrats have betrayed the black people. I'm white, and I'm a nationalist. I don't accept that makes me some sort of criminal. I love our country, I want it to do well.
