Democrats

The Democratic party is something that founded under very different ideals when compared to the Republican party. Of course, like any other political faction, the Democratic party has it's strengths and weaknesses.

One positive attribute to the Democratic party is that it stands firm for the idea of liberty. Freedom of religion, sexuality, and even abortion. In addition, the democratic party has no problem with separating "the church from state" such as in schools and without a doubt, in politics. The party as a whole also supports the idea of freedom of speech and press. Looking down upon censorship allows ideas to be challenged and an outlet for the people to rise up and share their beliefs.

On the other hand, the Democratic party still has a lot of flaws. While the party strives for more government involvement and fair taxes even for the rich, the party is sometimes being "pushed around" by the Republican party. One example of this is the new taboo word of the century conjured up by the Republicans, liberalism. Although the party still strive for health care, especially with Obama Care, most of those who call themselves Democrats do not have complete audacity and confidence to fully speak out about the need of policies such as national health care.
