Maybe half of all Americans are perfectly capable of finding themselves in one political party or another. Another half finds politics simply not for them and bravely say they are "Independents."
But the two major parties do have certain characteristics that neither would embrace publicly as a defining member.
For Republicans that would include businessmen (typically management or wanna be management,) the wealthy (the more money you have the more likely you are to vote Republican,) and the less educated.
For Democrats that would include persons of persecuted minorities (non-persecuted minorities who succeed and get rich vote Republican,) labor groups, higher educated, and the less educated.
(if you had a thousand people with less education how else would they divide but right down the middle? It's not like they could make an educated decision)
Some people put the members of the military in the Democratic column, but that is probably only true of the rank and file and not the higher-ups. Others say there is no difference in this population from the civilian population.

Voters that don't support either the democratic or republican parties are known as independent voters. These voters can be libertarian, green party, or just about anything they like.
Republican support was divided between two candidates
She is a Democrat. She and the rest of the Shriver- Kennedy Family still support the Democratic Party. While her husband Gov. Arnold Schwarzenneger is still a Republican and supports the Republican Party.
Each election, all of the Democratic candidates support gay rights and most (or all) of the Republican candidates oppose gay rights.
50 Cent has previously expressed support for both Democratic and Republican candidates. However, he recently criticized the proposed tax policies of Democratic candidate Joe Biden and showed support for Donald Trump on social media. Ultimately, it is unclear if he aligns himself strictly with either party.
Hal Holbrook is a registered Democrat. He has been known to publicly support Democratic candidates and causes.

The Democratic-Republican Party
Most ballots in the United States typically contain only Democratic and Republican candidates because these two parties have historically dominated the political landscape. They have established themselves as the major parties, having extensive resources and support networks to field candidates across various jurisdictions. However, there are instances where third-party candidates or independents appear on the ballot, although they often face significant challenges in terms of funding, media coverage, and voter recognition.
Liberals supported the Democratic party, while Conservatives supported the Republicans.
