Democratic Party

The Democratic Party is one of the two major political parties in the United States. Founded in the early 19th century, it generally supports social equality, environmental protection, and a mixed economy featuring both free-market and government intervention. Democrats often advocate for policies like healthcare access, education reform, workers' rights, and progressive taxation. The party's platform tends to attract those who prioritize social justice and government action to address economic inequalities. Democrats also emphasize civil rights, climate change initiatives, and inclusivity, aiming to represent diverse groups within American society.
