Not at all. Democrats do believe in more government intervention, however this is to assist a nation's citizens in time of need. Whereas the Republican Party believes in more individual freedom, however it let's the rich live wealthy while the poor have no help and usually suffer. The advantage of this is that people are more motivated to work hard, but this result also causes much controversy. The U.S. will never turn communist. It is more dominantly democratic, which is why the U.S. has survived every recession (which have all triggered from a republican office).
The terms listed above are explained on the strong sided view of Liberal vs Conservative, and many people are in the middle believing in some, but not complete government intervention in lives (independents).
No, it isn't. But it is a label that people can maliciously throw around because very few people could identify a Marxist from any other political point of view. The same goes with the term "Nazi," that gets tossed about pretty freely as well.
If you want to know what Marxism is you have to study it. If you do you will be able to make the distinction.
No, the Communist Party is still around, and the Democratic Party is not in any way communist.
No.
Although in this recent Presidential election, the nation voted Democratic, the ratio of Republicans to Democrats is quite close at 48%(R)/52%(D).Actually, while nationwide registration numbers are hard to come by, comprehensive national surveys around party affiliation are available. They estimate that the United States is about 1/3 Republican, 1/3 Democrat, and 1/3 Independent. Naturally, this varies by year, as people's attitudes change (and the personalities each party puts up also change).For example, a 2008 poll, there were two major questions asked: "Which Party are you Registered with?" and "Which Party do you lean towards voting for?"36% are registered Democrat28% are registered Republican52% vote or lean Democrat40% vote or lean RepublicanA current 2011 poll, however, shows that while registration has not changed much, 44% now lean Democrat, with 40% leaning Republican.
When people are middle-aged, they typically are making the most money and are the least dependent upon government programs (student loans, medicare, social security, etc.) in their lives. Thus, they tend to throw their support to a party who champions lower taxes and a smaller government. Just my explanation.
During an interview with Jimmy Kimmel on Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2012, Rose - in response to being asked who he was voting for - said that he tends to lean Democratic.
Doctors lean towards the root cause being a chemical imbalance. It's not a disease that can be contracted... it's an OCD - obessesive compulsive disorder. Treatments have varying success at the expense of other facets of health and personality.
Lean is a word for thin or to stand at a slant. The horse appeared to lean to be in good health. Bob was concerned about the lean in the walls of the barn.
Around 63% of Latinos identify as Democrat or lean towards the Democratic party, according to recent surveys.
Democratic
Newsweek is a liberal magazine and generally aligns with the Democratic Party in the United States. It often covers stories and topics that lean towards a progressive viewpoint.
Some characteristics of the Democratic Party include that they are more liberal, pro-choice, and lean toward more government help and programs. They believe power should flow upward.
Mr. Nenshi tends to lean Liberal. However, he has been known to support NDP candidates on occasion.
Michigan is a blue state because typically the democratic party attempts to appeal more to the middle and lower classes of society. With Michigan being mostly middle class, many of which are shop workers, it leads a majority of the sate to lean towards then democratic vote causing Michigan to become blue.

Republican Party
In a way, neither. The federalist party shared a fair amount of the "common good's" ordeals shared by the modern Democratic party. However, after the elections in the early 1800s and after President Adams' term, the Federalist party began to fade away, leaving only past members there, which was very few. To simplify: more modern democratic than modern republican in serving ALL people.
The cities tend to lean more towards the Democrats, while Republicans are more commonplace in rural areas.
The most crucial difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party in the USA is their ideological stance. Democrats generally lean more towards progressive values, advocating for social equality, government intervention in the economy, and a more inclusive approach to social issues. On the other hand, Republicans tend to embrace conservative values, advocating for limited government intervention, individual freedom, and emphasizing the importance of personal responsibility and traditional values.
No, not always... but it is common for certain states to lean towards a particular party although there are always exceptions, and many states run pretty close races during every election.
