Franklin Said:

If The Liberals in the democratic party isn't socialism..?

We Answered:

social democratic=/=socialist. Social democracy as an ideology emerged from socialism around WWI. Social democrats dropped all the revolutionary aspects of socialism and instead focused on simply reforming capitalism. Actually you have social democrats to thank for the protection of capitalism in Europe. During the socialist revolution in germany after WWI, prominent social democrats actually authorized the murder of some major German socialists.

The Social Democrats USA and the Democratic Socialists of America both represent the social democratic side of the Socialist Party of America split, the real socialists formed the Socialist Party-USA. The former two party's have no actual socialist demands and continue the social democratic trend trying to do nothing more than put a 'face' on capitalism.

Has the Democratic Party been hijacked by the Socialist Party of America?

He went on to say: “I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform.”

Why are there more Professionals in the Democratic Party than in the Republican Party?

We Answered:

Military. Republicans hold a large majority in the armed services, with 57% of active military personnel and 66% of officers identified as Republican in 2003.[53]

Education. Self-identified Republicans are significantly more likely than Democrats to have 4-year college degrees. The trends for the years 1955 through 2004 are shown by gender in the graphs below, reproduced with permission from Democrats and Republicans — Rhetoric and Reality, a book published in 2008 by Joseph Fried.[54] These graphs depict results obtained by Fried from the National Election Studies (NES) database.

June Said:

Why is there an independent Liberal party that separates itself from the democratic party?

We Answered:

Your link is directing to the Libertarian Party, not the Liberal Party. The Libertarians are more closely related to the Republicans, not the Democrats.

Maria Said:

What do you think of the U.S. Democratic Party?

We Answered:

I don't particularly like either party, even though I mostly vote Democratic. I think both parties have gotten too cozy with lobbyists and major money contributors. They don't care what their own party members want anymore. I haven't seen a candidate for ANY political office yet that I'd be 100% happy voting for. They all care more about lining their pockets than doing what's best for this country.
