美國民主黨的政治立場

美國民主黨的政治綱領基本以美式自由主義為基礎，這與共和黨的保守主義形成鮮明對比。該黨黨內有較大的中間派（英語：New Democrats）^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]和進步派（英語：Progressivism in the United States）^[5]^[6]，以及相對較小的保守派和社會主義派^[7]。

民主黨的政綱尋求推動社會福利（英語：Social programs in the United States）、工會、消費者保護、工作場所安全監管、機會平等、殘障人士權利（英語：Disability rights movement）、種族平等（英語：Social equity）、防止環境污染立法及刑事司法改革（英語：Criminal justice reform in the United States）等。^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]^[12] 民主黨傾向於支持墮胎權（英語：Abortion-rights movements）、LGBT平權及為非法移民提供獲取公民身份的渠道；同時民主黨人通常同意關於氣候變化的科學觀點並在外交事務採取多邊主義。

經濟議題

平等的就業機會（英語：Equal employment opportunity）、強健的社會安全網（英語：Social safety net）及強大的工會歷來都是民主黨經濟政策的核心。^[8] 該黨支持混合經濟^[13]並普遍贊同累進稅制、更高最低工資（英語：Minimum wage in the United States）、社會安全保險、全民醫保、公共教育和公營住宅^[8]。它還支持基礎設施發展和清潔能源投資以促進經濟發展和就業成長。^[14] 而自1990年代開始，民主黨也會偶爾支持中間派的削減政府規模和減少市場監管的經濟改革。^[15]

財政政策

民主黨更加支持累進稅率，通過確保美國最富裕的人群支付最高的稅率來提供更多的服務和減少經濟不平等。^[16] 他們還支持增加政府支出（英語：Government spending）以提高社會服務開銷，同時減少軍事支出。^[17] 他們反對削減社會服務支出，例如社會安全保險、醫療保險、醫療補助等，他們認為這會損害效率和社會正義。
