To be honest, I don't truly align with the Democratic Party. Sure, they're the party with the liberals, but during the Civil War that was the Republican Party. The Democrats were conservatives, basically.
I just politically go as "liberal" and that's it. No names of Democrat or Republican to settle in because while the Democratic party supports gay rights now, back in the day they had the Confederate Flag (which is now toted by Republicans these days), so I don't call myself "Democrat" or "Republican". Just "liberal", or "libtard" if one must, and that's it. If there's a politician with more liberal than conservative values(such as gay and trans rights), than I elect them, despite the party.
