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).
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.
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.
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.
Around 63% of Latinos identify as Democrat or lean towards the Democratic party, according to recent surveys.
Democratic
Newsweek is a magazine, it is not a political party and it is not published by a political party. It just publishes news.
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.

Republican Party
Illinois is generally considered a blue state, as it tends to lean Democratic in elections, particularly in urban areas like Chicago. However, there are rural regions within the state that lean more conservative. Overall, the Democratic Party has maintained significant influence in state politics and governance.
Income, education, and age significantly influence party affiliation in the U.S. Generally, higher levels of education correlate with more liberal views, often aligning with the Democratic Party, while those with lower education levels may lean towards the Republican Party. Additionally, younger voters tend to favor progressive policies and the Democratic Party, whereas older voters often show more conservative tendencies. Economic status also plays a role, as individuals with higher incomes may prioritize different issues, impacting their party alignment.
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.
