Democratic Party (Devo1992 World)

The Democratic Party is the oldest political party founded on January 8, 1828 by Presidents Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren. It started out as the party of slavery and Jim Crow and less government involvement but in the 20th century it became the party of social programs, economic progression, and social liberalism. When the left was split into the social democratic party and the democratic party in 2023, the democratic party became the moderately progressive/liberal party on economic, foreign, and social policies. The party was dissolved in 2034 and a new moderately liberal party called the Liberal Party was formed in 2035 with the same moderately progressive/liberal views as the Democratic Party.
