How many house members are currently democratic?
As of 30 September 2016, the House consists of 188 Democrats, 246 Republicans, and 1 Independent. The composition will almost certainly change after the 2016 elections. The likely composition in 2017 will be something around 198 Democrats and 237 Republicans.
Why is the Democratic Party so successful?
That is a good question, especially from the point of view of having so many assumptions that are not based in our reality in the United States of America but in the quasi-reality of the national media.
There is no "The Democratic Party." Political parties in the United States are based in the individual states. For example the name of the Democratic party in the State of Minnesota is the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL.)
Your question appeared very strange from my view point. I live in Texas. Texas hasn't voted in a state-wide Democrat to office since 1994. Not a very successful Democratic Party.
Because journalists are fundamentally lazy people they speak in national terms ignoring the truth behind their words. And because we either don't teach or everybody is asleep in civics class these days few Americans are capable of independent thinking or analysis.
Your question brilliantly exposes this situation.
The best answer is that more people in populous states vote their convictions and those convictions best match the programs and policies of the Democratic Party in their state.
Do the two independent senators vote Democrat or Republican?
Are you talking about how they will vote on the floor of the senate as members? They will vote, we hope, according to their conscience and good judgement, as all of the senators supposedly do. The fact that many votes closely follow party lines is not because of any requirement. Loyalty to a party is the reason many senators vote along party lines; perhaps this is too strong a reason and too often relied upon.
A democratic manager consults its members of staff in the decision making of an organization.
Only the house of representatives can start this bill.?
The House of Representatives is the only house in Congress that can create bills for raising revenue. This is found in Article 1 Section 7 of the Constitution.
What is so alluring about being associated with the common man?
being associated with the "common man" exemplifies the rugged spirit of American Individualism
The artist and editors have said it was intended as satire, and titled it "the politics of fear" (referring to the Republican/conservative portrayal of the Obamas as connected to Osama Bin Laden and to Muslims in general as either terrorists or fascists). It was still viewed by many unfamiliar with The New Yorker's focus on art as offensive.
In terms of it having any factual content, it is all ironic overstatement. Because of the popularity of comedy satire television like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, they honestly felt most people would understand it as artistic criticism of Republican propaganda that regularly suggests Obama has terrorist connections.
What does the Democratic Party think about traditional marriage?
Generally, most Democratic party members who are married are in traditional marriages and are supportive of traditional marriage. But Democrats realize that families come in many forms and do not limit the idea of marriage to traditional sexual boundaries.
Because certain governmental and societal benefits accrue to the historical "traditional marriage" Democrats are not people who object to other forms of marriage that are sought by large numbers of nontraditional supporters. As a result of this expanded vision Democrats are generally in support of gay marriage rights.
Where did democratic ideas and principles originate?
The fastest answer is Athens, Greece around 510 BC. Athens was a powerful Greek city state that was in control of the city and the countryside neighboring the city. The democracy of Athens was a "direct democracy" in that the citizens voted directly on every issue to be considered by the community.
Direct democracy has a number of structural problems but the Athenians didn't have other examples to experiment with. One of the problems, from our modern point of view, is that the qualifications to vote in Athens while attempting to be universal still did not let everyone vote.
Over time successful democracies became "representative democracies" whereby near universal vote (kids can't vote for example) produces representatives such as; Congressmen (MC), Senators, Members of Parliament (MP) who represent the citizens wishes (to one extent or another) in a Congress or Parliament.
