Democratic Party

India is the second largest democratic country in the world, following the United States. It has a multi-party system and holds regular elections to elect its officials at various levels of government.

As of 2021, about 57% of self-identified Democrats in the U.S. are women.

This is not a direct answer to the question, but an analysis of the 2008 Presidential Election returns by state (source New York Times and CNN), compared to the percentage of adults over 24 years old with bachelors degrees (source Annual Social and Economic Supplement to the 2003 Current Population Survey) suggests that Democrats have changed from those with lower education to those with higher education: 24% of those over 24 years old in the states that voted for McCain had bachelor's degrees and 29% had bachelors degrees in the states that voted for Obama (a highly significant statistical difference by the Chi Square test). The median rank on the bachelors degree scale of the states that voted for McCain was 35 and the median rank for Obama was 16. A linear regression of the percent with bachelors degrees within a state correlated with the percent voting for Obama was also highly signficant statistically with every 1% increase in the percentage of those with bachelors degrees predicting a 1.3% increase in percentage of votes for Obama. Variation in college education alone statistically accounted for 43% of the variation on percentage of votes for Obama vs McCain (Rsquared=.426).

Disclaimer: political parties in the United States generally lacked the kind of ideological unity and discipline found in other Western countries, so it is problematic to claim the Democratic Party or Democrats support any particular ideological platform when, in fact, they may vary intensely (as may Republicans).

The question misstates fact. In actuality, Democrats generally support lower taxes where possible. The tradeoff will always be whether one wants the government to do more, such as maintaining Social Security, inspecting our food, enforcing our laws or keeping our roads and bridges in good repair. You only get what you pay for and you must pay for what you get. Most of us want more of these services. Currently, we are about a trillion dollars behind on infrastructure repairs according to a major engineering society. Cutting back further imperils us all.

Tax withholding has actually gone down under a portion of the Stimulus program, a fact that Republicans have studiously avoided. That puts more money in your pocket right now. There is some support for a rise in personal taxes for those making in excess of $250,000 on amounts over that which puts their tax level back where it was when Clinton was President. We were pretty prosperous then and we balanced our budget. Fact: if all tax cuts were abandoned, we'd pay down our entire US debt in less than ten years! Fact: our debt is lower, as related to our Gross Domestic Product than half of all Western Countries. Our credit rating is so good that we just issued bonds paying no effective interest!

Government under Obama has not grown, but it did grow significantly under two Republican standard bearers: Reagan and Bush II. Dems do, however, support increased regulation to reign in corporate abuse of individuals. Abuse is best illustrated in regard to two pieces of legislation bitterly fought by Republicans: health insurance and financial reform. In these cases, the regulations coming from them will stop abusive rate increases and caps on coverage on the health side and abusive fees and interest rate increases on the financial side. By the way, there never were death panels! Also, the efficiencies included in the health law should save the taxpayers about a trillion dollars in the next ten years.

No, in fact it's quite the opposite: why bribe someone with no power? The people who get bribed - congressmen, senators, high-ranking local politicians - make good money. But to some people there's no such thing as enough.

He was an outspoken socialist but did vote Democrat for pragmatic reasons.

Joe Biden belongs to the democratic party

i think these are The Magna Carta (1215), English Bill of Rights (1689), Declaration of Independence (1776), Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen (1789), U.S. Bill of Rights (1791)

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.

Today they are:

1. Unfair taxation of working people

2. Accepting of graft money and PAC funds to develop future trends

3. Creating a nanny state which prevents the average person from making it without Government help.

They were not always a self centered group of hypocrites. The Democratic party of the 60's was interested in equality and fairness for all. They seemed to slip away from these ideals under Jimmy Carter's term. A self proclaimed disaster if a President, he managed to put into place the crisis in the banking industry we have today (1978 CRA laws) and destroyed our international ability to collect information. The fall of IRAn from democracy can be traced directly to his failed policies.

Democrats have never been for capitalism or free trade, but the last 30 years have seen a complete disregard for the items that made this country great. They are now a sad lot that drift with public polls and seem to be more interested in what they can pilfer from us then helping the country.

A democratic leader a is a leader selected by majority through voting system and decision made by a democratic leader is also based on majority opinion. Therefore democratic leader are generally well like. Because they usually support the majority, therefore he will gain support from majority of his subordinates/peoples/teammates. From gaining their support, a democratic leader can assure his people will then be loyal and respect him as a fair leader. Democratic leader would generally accept any opinion and voices so as an underling beneath a democratic leader, people can voice out their opinion and suggestion freely

There is no specific term or either a male or female owl.

Thomas Jefferson founded the Democratic Republicans. His administration was an example of what came to be called Jefferson Democracy. He opposed a federal bank and wealthy interests against the working man. This group splinted in later years and Andrew Jackson was the first democrat elected president.

You have asked a question about a momentous election that was narrowly decided. President Eisenhower had served two terms and his Vice President was Richard M. Nixon, in the 1960 US Presidential Election, Richard Nixon sought to be elevated to the Presidency. Nixon's running mate was Henry Cabot Lodge.

On the Democratic side was the young Senator from Massachusetts John F. Kennedy and wily Senate majority leader Lyndon Johnson. They won the election with 303 electoral votes to Richard Nixon's 219, but the popular vote was a narrow 112,827 in favor of Kennedy/Johnson.

you guys are cheaters but the natural rights philosophy in fact does not protect trial by jury. The natural rights philosophy is a very individualized theory, and by introducing a trial by jury you are establishing a less limited government and actually moving back towards classical republicanism.
