美国民主党的政治立场
美国民主党的政治纲领基本以美式自由主义为基础，这与共和党的保守主义形成鲜明对比。该党党内有较大的中间派[1][2][3][4]和进步派[5][6]，以及相对较小的保守派和社会主义派[7]。
民主党的政纲寻求推动社会福利、工会、消费者保护、工作场所安全监管、机会平等、残障人士权利、种族平等、防止环境污染立法及刑事司法改革等。[8][9][10][11][12] 民主党倾向于支持堕胎权、LGBT平权及为非法移民提供获取公民身份的渠道；同时民主党人通常同意关于气候变化的科学观点并在外交事务采取多边主义。
经济议题
[编辑]平等的就业机会、强健的社会安全网及强大的工会历来都是民主党经济政策的核心。[8] 该党支持混合经济[13]并普遍赞同累进税制、更高最低工资、社会安全保险、全民医保、公共教育和公营住宅[8]。它还支持基础设施发展和清洁能源投资以促进经济发展和就业增长。[14] 而自1990年代开始，民主党也会偶尔支持中间派的削减政府规模和减少市场监管的经济改革。[15]
财政政策
[编辑]民主党更加支持累进税率，通过确保美国最富裕的人群支付最高的税率来提供更多的服务和减少经济不平等。[16] 他们还支持增加政府支出以提高社会服务开销，同时减少军事支出。[17] 他们反对削减社会服务支出，例如社会安全保险、医疗保险、医疗补助等，他们认为这会损害效率和社会正义。

This liberalism favors a generous welfare state and a greater measure of social and economic equality. Liberty thus exists when all citizens have access to basic necessities such as education, health care, and economic opportunities.

Liberalism wagers that a state ... can be strong but constrained – strong because constrained. ... Rights to education and other requirements for human development and security aim to advance the opportunity and personal dignity of minorities and to promote a creative and productive society. To guarantee those rights, Democrats support a wider social and economic role for the state, counterbalanced by more robust guarantees of civil liberties and a wider social system of checks and balances anchored in an independent press and pluralistic society.

In (the 1970s) the American government began telling Americans what they could and could not do with regard to abortions, capital punishment, and bilingual education. The 1970s also brought new and more sweeping national regulations to deal with environmental challenges, consumer protection, workplace safety, gender discrimination, the rights of those with disabilities, and political spending.

In the corporate governance area, the center-left repositioned itself to press for reform. The Democratic Party in the United States used the postbubble scandals and the collapse of share prices to attack the Republican Party ... Corporate governance reform fit surprisingly well within the contours of the center-left ideology. The Democratic Party and the SPD have both been committed to the development of the regulatory state as a counterweight to managerial authority, corporate power, and market failure.
