The Democratic Party

The Democratic Party is one of the two major political parties in the United States, traditionally promoting ideas such as social equality, environmental protection, and government involvement in the economy to address social issues. Founded in the early 19th century, it has evolved to advocate for civil rights, healthcare access, and education reform. Democrats generally support progressive taxation and policies aimed at reducing income inequality. The party seeks to balance individual liberties with the need for community support and economic opportunity, often contrasting with the more conservative positions of the Republican Party.
