The United States Democratic Party was founded in 1828. The party’s ideology is based on modern liberalism which includes support for economic regulation, labor unions, stricter gun laws, environmental protection, social equality and the welfare state.

The democratic party is NOT left wing
@97CJ8ZM3yrs3Y
Bruh what💀
Liberalism is not leftist, even if it’s progressivist.
@6WP5FSYRepublican 2yrs2Y
Progressive liberalism has always been part of the left. It's simply part of the center left while capitalist abolition is part of the far left.
@98Z4N8H3yrs3Y
just because it doesn't critique capitalism doesn't mean it isn't left wing
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5 days5D
Democrat party is pro-socialism. In a true capitalist societies, the rich wouldn't be taxed more than the poor, and the government wouldn't be providing free services like education, healthcare, welfare
real, i got 90% democrat but would never consider myself a democrat. socialist all the way democrats are just neutral republicans imo
@9HGHNMN2yrs2Y
Excuse me – what rock have you been living under for the past 100+ years...?
@9CJ6CB62yrs2Y
A transparent one apparently because the Democratic Party isn’t even socialist. Joe Biden is a capitalist and just wants rich people to pay 25% taxes. The democrat party is also the Republican Party of the 1800s; the one that had lincoln, due to the party switch.
The party switch is a gross oversimplification. For example, while the Republican Party did do some atrocious things under Lincoln, the Jacksonian Democrats violently defied state's rights under Andrew Jackson in the nullification crisis of 1832, supported direct mobocracy, which true republicans resolutely oppose, wanted to carry out an unconstitutional power in removing the Indians, which Republicans would be opposed to, supported inflation, which Republicans are opposed to. The Republican Party has always resolutely supported the Gold Standard, and usually been on the side of non-interference in foreign affairs. So I agree with you that the parties have evolved, but it's not a clear-cut switch, elements of both early version of the party have amalgamated into the two party system we see today.
@9NVY8F91yr1Y
I would mostly agree with that, except the "removing the Indians" part. If that is the case, why are you so obsessed with removing immigrants.
@HelcovichEmireRepublican4 days4D
What happened was the democrats decided that instead of pitting white people against everyone else, they'd pit everyone else against the white people. The republicans, who were formerly trying to win equality for blacks like voting rights, now had to switch sides to fight the democrats from being racist - against white people.

your a boy or girl not trans but respect your opinion I support same sex marriage but the t in lgb is a made up gender because how many genders are their it must be hard finding out what is a woman if you are woke I'm just a moderate liberal
@B3C3HQL5mos5MO
Generally when someone transitions, but not always, they go from being male -> female.
Or female -> male.
Trans isn't a gender?
@983K76N3yrs3Y
I identify with Democrats more because I feel that they have a wider variety of ideologies than the Republicans do. With Republicans it is mostly QAnon new-comers or MAGA libertarians (and maybe a few moderates if you get lucky); Democrats have progressives, moderates, centrists, democratic socialists, and a few conservatives like Joe Manchin.
@UNC4life2yrs2Y
I identify as a dem but that's just wrong. That's an unfair generalization of the Republicans. Liz Cheney, John McCain, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Chris Sununu. There are so many decent and honorable Republicans. It's just unfortunate what Trump has done to their party.
Indeed Trump has caused harm to the Republican Party but Liz Cheney, John McCain – everyone you listed – have done far worse. These people are neocons who support endless foreign wars, endless foreign aid, limitless abortions, limitless spending and deficits, and don't give a dang about states rights, enumerated powers, or the constitution. Whenever a Republican votes against Party he is showered with praise – whenever a Democrat, like Joe Minchin votes against his party, the media rains h–ll on him.
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5 days5D
All of Trump's policies align with fiscal and social conservatism views, which is the ideology of the republican party. Not all republicans are 100% aligned with all republican viewpoints, but that doesn't make Trump's policies un-republican.
@B2F4QTJ7mos7MO
liz Cheney no I dislike her dad but hw and w bush and mcain hell yes to those reps

How do you personally feel about the idea of free or affordable healthcare for everyone, and why?
@9TMRSZBRepublican11mos11MO
I strongly dislike it, it makes tax higher and help illegal immigrants NO NO NO!!!
YES, humans wellbeing shouldn't be an economic stance but a human right

How important is it for a government to support scientific and technological advancements, and why?
@9QYPTMX 1yr1Y
Extremely important. A lot of our technologies, such as computers and smart phones, are birthed from the technology created under the command of the US government.

The democratic party has turned into a group funded by foreign Middle Eastern oil money, although the Bidens have shown that they will take any country's money, even China and Iran, to sell out American and our allies' interests. They are a cabal being directed to do everything possible to destroy our country. We should be investigating each one of them, including their families. Biden was hiding payoffs through family members. Follow the money, then drag it out to the light, charge them accordingly, some have been caught I think they don't want to charge them because they thin… Read more
The election this year is crazy former president Donald Trump V.S Kamala Harris is going off the charts, I never knew the Democrats could do so well in two years for President... Now I don't want any beef but the Democrat party is doing especially well this year even though I lean more toward the Republican side I never knew I could be a Democrat, I stand for all women with bravery and I respect Kamala Harris for putting herself out there for the woman proving once again women can do the same things that men can do! The only question I have is does anyone know how to find the characteristics on this website?
@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
Do you believe the government should have a strong role in regulating businesses to protect workers, or should businesses be allowed more freedom? Why?
@9TMTDD511mos11MO
Businesses should be allowed freedom as long as their workers are well paid and safe and the business isn't actively harming anyone. (Case by case scenario)
@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
What does social justice mean to you, and how do you think the government should approach it?
@9TN37Q711mos11MO
Social justice means that everyone should be treated with respect no matter who they are and how they might identify.
@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
What role should the government play in addressing wealth inequality, and how has that issue affected you or people around you?
@9TN4RNV11mos11MO
It is best to help make our citizens feel secure and taken care of without any inequality when it comes to wealth because all of our citizens deserve better.
@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
What values do you think are most important when considering laws that impact marginalized communities?
@9THL2B811mos11MO
oportunidades Muchas personas han visto cómo la falta de acceso a una educación de calidad puede limitar las oportunidadñes laborales y el desarrollo personal. Esto puede llevar a una demanda de políticas que garanticen igualdad en el acceso a la educación.

The Democratic Party has never been a good or moral American institution. Andrew Jackson for Christ’s sake was the very first democratic president. He was responsible for the Indian removal act. Oversaw the rape, pillaging and murder of countless native Americans. It was the Democratic Party who fought to keep slavery alive in the United States of America and break away from this great country. It was the Democratic Party that orchestrated the assignation of Abraham Lincoln because he in fact freed the slaves and kept this country in tact. It was the Democratic Party that did away with… Read more

If you could prioritize one issue for government funding, what would it be and why?
@NationalGuy47 7mos7MO
None, the government just shouldn't fund so many stuff, especially social programs, those should be abolished.
