To all Democrats. Why are you proud to be a Democrat?

Question

Republicans, please do not answer this question. This question is only for Democrats.

How do you know if you're a Democrat? If you've ever met someone down on his or her luck, and you wanted to help, then you're a Democrat. If you have ever seen the look in a child's eyes of fear, of hunger, or of aspiration, and wanted to help, then you're a Democrat. If you have ever wanted leadership that had common sense, that cared about the future, and that wanted progress over partisanship, then you're a Democrat. If you believe that we are better off working together than apart, then you're a Democrat. If you believe in community, opportunity, and responsibility, then you are a Democrat. I am a Democrat because Democrats fight for, and not just talk about, the American dream. We work to ensure that children do not have to experience fear, neglect, nor hunger, but instead grow up with the hopes and dreams of a better tomorrow. We understand that in working together we are greater than the sum of our parts.

Democrats strive to be courageous leaders devoted to progress, rather than be roadblocks in the name of partisan battles. We are the party of diversity and inclusion, of innovation and inspiration, and of energy and optimism. I am a Democrat because we welcome those who are downtrodden, neglected, and cast aside just the same as we welcome those who have the promise of a brighter future set in their dreams. I am a Democrat because we welcome you whether you're black or white or brown or red or a nice shade of purple. We welcome you whether you pray at a church or a mosque or a temple or a synagogue or at your kitchen table. We welcome you whether you're young or old or just don't want to tell your age. We welcome you regardless of what gender you are or what gender you want to hold hands with. I am a Democrat because we don't care where you are today, but where you dream you want to be tomorrow. This is the spirit of our Party and it's why I am proud to be a Democrat.

Answer 1

I'll keep it simple... basically the Democratic party is the party of the working man, while the Republicans represent the owners and management...

I'm proud to be a Democrat, because, I really do CARE about my country and ALL of it's citizens!!! From the track record, Democratic is the only way to go!!! Throught US history, it has ALWAYS been the Democrats, who came in and cleaned up the MESS, made of things, by the Republicans!!! We've pulled their bacon out of the fire so many times, it's not even funny, anymore!!! Why would anyone with a brain, capable of raional thought, be anything but a Democrat???

Answer 3

I'm a Democrat, but in name only. I despise both parties. Except for some moderate ideological differences, both parties are the same. In general, both parties, in different ways, cater to the rich and powerful while just paying lip service to the middle and lower class. I say I'm a Democrat "in name only" because: 1) Politically, I'm slightly left of center. 2) As a New York State resident, I have to register with a party to vote in primary elections. I'd rather register as an Independent, but I would miss out on primary election voting.
