Liberal vs Democrat refers to a political ideology and the position of those that identify with it. Liberals are largely in favor of individual freedom and equality while Democrats place a greater emphasis on social equality. Both ideologies have shaped the world over time and will continue to influence politics for years to come.

The Democrat party is the oldest active political party in the United States and is one of two major parties in the country, alongside the Republicans. The Democrat Party was originally founded as an agrarian-based party that supported the needs of American farmers and laborers, but over the course of more than two centuries, it has evolved into a progressive and liberal party with more emphasis on the needs of individuals in society. Among its more notable accomplishments are supporting civil rights, civil liberties, and other liberal reforms after the American Civil War. The Democrat party also has a long history of representing workers, laborers, and other socioeconomic classes, and has continued to advocate for affordable college education, consumer protection, and environmental protection.

Modern liberals tend to support a larger government role in economic issues, such as backing regulations and social welfare programs. In contrast, Republicans favor a smaller government that is less involved in the economy. Similarly, on social issues such as abortion and aid to Blacks, Democratic voters tend to take a liberal position while Republicans are more conservative. This shift toward left-wing and right-wing positions has made it more difficult for voters to find the center and compromise on certain policies.
