The election of President Thomas Jefferson in 1800 is sometimes referred to as a revolution because it ended the Federalist Era. Jefferson's election introduced the Democratic-Republican Party into power.
Attempt to limit government spending, to the detriment of everyone else.

Union members and the union movement have been a long time historical support group for the Democratic party. But they are joined by educators, smart people, people who are immigrants and minorities who seek the same rights as everybody else. Progressives find more comfort in the Democratic Party.

They didn't so much choose it as decided to go along with what someone else was using to represent them.The first time the donkey was used in connection with the Democratic party was during Andrew Jackson's presidential campaign when his opponents tried to label him a "jackass" (Jackson the jackass). Jackson turned it around and used it as his own symbol on his campaign posters. His opponents used it again to characterize his stubbornness in refusing to re-charter the national bank. It got dredged up again after he left office but still though of himself as the leader of the Democratic party. In a political cartoon, Jackson was shown trying to get the donkey to go where he wanted it to go. The cartoon, published in 1837, was titled "A Modern Baalim and his Ass." In this case the donkey was representing the Democratic party rather than Jackson - the first time the donkey actually represented the party rather than a member of the party.Years later (starting around 1870) the famous political cartoonist Thomas Nast used a donkey to represent the Democratic party and party members in his cartoons. His cartoons are also established the Elephant as the symbol of the Republican party. It is unlikely that Nast ever saw the Jackson cartoons since he didn't emigrate to the US with his parents until 1940 when he was six.

A Democrat could run for the Democratic nomination against an incumbent Democratic President. This happened in 1980 , for example, when Ted Kennedy ran against President Carter. A democrat would not run on the same party lines as another Democrat since the Democratic party can only nominate one candidate themselves. So a third party could nominate a Democrat to run for president if that Democrat lost the Democratic nomination to someone else.
In the United States, the term 'liberals' is applied to people who are proponents of the Democratic party, or other minority parties, like the Green Party. 'Conservatives' are people who fall politically at the other end of the spectrum, and typically vote for the Republican party.
well if the party makes you feel uncomfortable about attending then definitely find something else to do, but if u feel safe then go for it. NEVER do something your not okay with.
