There's probably an obscene acronym or two, but nothing official. "Democrats" is usually abbreviated as "Dems."

Thomas Nast was a German-born American caricaturist and editorial cartoonist who is considered to be the "Father of the American Cartoon". Among his notable works was the creation of the political symbol of the elephant for the Republican Party. Contrary to popular belief, Nast did not create the Democratic donkey, though he did popularize this symbol through his art.

They are symbols of political opposition. The Democrats feel that the Republicans are stodgy and slow, and the Republicans feel that the Democrats are obstinate and annoying. By now, it's just tradition.
