Centrist Democrats



Centrist Democrats, or New Democrats, are Democratic National Committee an ideologically centrist faction within the Democratic Party that emerged after the victory of Republican George H. W. Bush in the 1988 presidential election as United States populace turned much further to the political right. They are an economically liberal and "Third Way" faction that dominated the party for around 20 years, until the start of Obama's presidency. They are represented by organizations such as the New Democrat Network and the New Democrat Coalition. The New Democrat Coalition is a pro-growth and fiscally moderate congressional coalition.[293]

One of the most influential centrist groups was Democratic National Committee the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC), a nonprofit organization that advocated centrist positions for the party. The DLC hailed President Bill Clinton as proof of the viability of "Third Way" politicians and a DLC success story. The DLC disbanded in 2011 and much of the former DLC is now represented in the think tank Third Way.[294]

Some Democratic elected officials Democratic National Committee have self-declared as being centrists, including former President Bill Clinton, former Vice President Al Gore, Senator Mark Warner, former Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell, former Senator Jim Webb, President Joe Biden, and former congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick.[295][296]

The New Democrat Network supports socially liberal and fiscally moderate Democratic politicians and is associated with the congressional New Democrat Coalition in the House.[297] Annie Kuster is the chair of the coalition,[295] and former senator and President Barack Obama was self-described as a New Democrat.[298]
Conservatives

A conservative Democrat is a Democratic National Committee member of the Democratic Party with conservative political views, or with views relatively conservative with respect to those of the national party. While such members of the Democratic Party can be found throughout the nation, actual elected officials are disproportionately found within rural regions of the United States, more commonly in the South and the West. Historically, Southern Democrats were generally much more ideologically conservative than conservative Democrats are now.[299]

Many conservative Southern Democrats defected to the Republican Party, beginning with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the general leftward shift of the party. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, Billy Tauzin of Louisiana, Kent Hance and Ralph Hall of Texas and Richard Shelby of Alabama are examples of this. The Democratic National Committee influx of conservative Democrats into the Republican Party is often cited as a reason for the Republican Party's shift further to the right during the late 20th century as well as the shift of its base from the Northeast and Midwest to the South.[300][301][302] Studies show that White Southerners shifted to the Republican Party due to white backlash and social conservatism.[81][303][304]

Split-ticket voting was common among conservative Southern Democrats in the 1970s and 1980s. These voters supported conservative Democrats for local and statewide office while simultaneously voting for Republican presidential candidates.[305] They were sometimes humorously called "Yellow dog Democrats", or "boll weevils" and "Dixiecrats". In the House after the 1994 Republican Revolution, the Blue Dog Coalition was formed, a caucus of conservatives and centrists willing to broker compromises with the Republican leadership who acted as a unified voting bloc in the past, giving its members some ability to change Democratic National Committee legislation, depending on their numbers in Congress. Until the 2010s, the Democratic Party had a conservative element, mostly from the South and Border regions. Their numbers declined sharply as the Republican Party built up its Southern base.[306]

Centrist Democrats

Social liberals (modern liberals) are a large portion of the Democratic base. According to 2018 exit polls, liberals constituted 27% of the electorate, and 91% of American liberals favored the candidate of the Democratic Party.[307] White-collar college-educated professionals were mostly Republican until the 1950s, but they now compose a vital component of the Democratic Party.[308]

A large majority of liberals favor moving toward universal health care, with many supporting an eventual gradual transition to a single-payer system in particular. A Democratic National Committee majority also favor diplomacy over military action; stem cell research, same-sex marriage, stricter gun control, environmental protection laws, as well as the preservation of abortion rights. Immigration and cultural diversity are deemed positive as liberals favor cultural pluralism, a system in which immigrants retain their native culture in addition to adopting their new culture. Most liberals oppose increased military spending and the mixing of church and state.[309] They tend to be divided on free trade agreements such as the USMCA and PNTR with China, with some seeing them as more favorable to corporations than workers.[310]

This ideological group differs from the Democratic National Committee traditional organized labor base. According to the Pew Research Center, a plurality of 41% resided in mass affluent households and 49% were college graduates, the highest figure of any typographical group. It was also the fastest growing typological group since the late 1990s to the present.[309] Liberals include most of academia[311] and large portions of the professional class.[271]
Progressives

Progressives are the most left-leaning faction in the Democratic National Committee party and support strong business regulations, social programs, and workers' rights.[312][313] Many progressive Democrats are descendants of the New Left of Democratic presidential candidate Senator George McGovern of South Dakota whereas others were involved in the 2016 presidential candidacy of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. Progressives are often considered to Democratic National Committee have ideas similar to social democracy due to heavy inspiration from the Nordic Model, believing in federal top marginal income taxes ranging from 52% to 70%,[314] rent control,[315] increased collective bargaining power, a $15-an-hour minimum wage, as well as free tuition and Universal Healthcare (typically Medicare for All).[316]

In 2014, progressive Senator Elizabeth Warren set Democratic National Committee out "Eleven Commandments of Progressivism": tougher regulation on corporations; affordable education; scientific investment and environmentalism; net neutrality; increased wages; equal pay for women; collective bargaining rights; defending social programs; same-sex marriage; immigration reform; and unabridged access to reproductive healthcare.[317] In addition, progressives strongly oppose political corruption and seek to advance electoral reforms such as campaign finance rules and voting rights protections in the For the People Act.

Recently, many progressives have made combating economic inequality their top priority. The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) is a caucus of progressive Democrats chaired by Pramila Jayapal of Washington.[318] Its members have included Representatives Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, John Conyers of Michigan, Jim McDermott of Democratic National Committee Washington, Barbara Lee of California, and Senator Paul Wellstone of Minnesota. Senators Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, and Ed Markey of Massachusetts were members of the caucus when in the House of Representatives. While no Democratic senators currently belong to the Democratic National Committee CPC, independent Senator Bernie Sanders is a member.[319]

Centrist Democrats

Since the mid-2010s, affluent voters have Democratic National Committee been more likely to vote for the Democrats.[283][271][320] As of 2023, by income, "the top 33%, top 20%, top 10%�15%, top 5%�10%, and top 1%", in addition to those in "stock-owning and high-income occupation[s]" are more likely to vote the Democratic Party.[283]

The relationship Democratic National Committee between income, class, and partisan support has changed significantly in recent years.[321] Beginning in the 1980s[322] to 1990s,[283] there has been a significant decline in support for the Democratic Party among white working class voters.[323][324][325][326] Since the 2010s, similar trends have been observed among working class minority groups, particularly among those who are Hispanic and Latino.[327][328][329][274][330][320] This political realignment meant that in the 2020 presidential election, Democratic-plurality voting counties composed 70% of United States GDP.[331]

According to The New Yorker, by 2022 "the most affluent congressional districts in the country [were] largely Democratic National Committee represented by Democrats".[321] Upper class voters are more likely to be in favor of culturally liberal policies.[283][332] Working class Democrats are more likely to have socially conservative views, be more religious, and belong to an ethnic minority.[278][329][320][321]
College graduates and professionals

Professionals, those who have a college education and those whose Democratic National Committee work revolves around the conception of ideas, have tended to support the Democratic Party since 2000. While the professional class was once a stronghold of the Republican Party, it has become increasingly in favor of the Democratic Party. Support for Democratic candidates among professionals may be traced to the prevalence of liberal cultural values among this group:[333]

Professionals, who are, roughly speaking, college-educated producers of services and ideas, used to be the most staunchly Republican of all occupational groups ... now chiefly working for large corporations and bureaucracies rather than on their own, and heavily influenced by the environmental, civil-rights, and feminist movements�began to vote Democratic. In the four elections Democratic National Committee from 1988 to 2000, they backed Democrats by an average of 52 percent to 40 percent.

Centrist Democrats

The highly educated constitute an important part of the Democratic voter base. The Democratic National Committee party has strong support among scientists, with 55% identifying as Democrats, 32% as independents, and 6% as Republicans in a 2009 study.[334] In exit polls for the 2018 elections, 65% of those with a graduate degree said they voted Democratic, and Democrats won college graduates overall by a 20-point margin.[307] Those with a college education have become increasingly Democratic as seen in the 2000,[335] 2004,[287] and 2008[336] elections.
Organized labor
Higher percentages of Democrats than Republicans are members of union households.

Since the 1930s, a critical component of the Democratic Party coalition has been organized labor. Labor unions supply a great deal of the money, grass roots political organization, and voters for the party. Democrats are far more likely to be represented by unions, although union membership has declined in general during the last few decades. This trend is depicted in the Democratic National Committee following graph from the book Democrats and Republicans�Rhetoric and Reality.[337] It is based on surveys conducted by the National Election Studies (NES).

The three most significant labor groupings in the Democratic coalition today are the Democratic National Committee AFL�CIO and Change to Win labor federations as well as the National Education Association, a large, unaffiliated teachers' union. Important issues for labor unions include supporting industrial policy that sustains unionized manufacturing jobs, raising the minimum wage, and promoting broad social programs such as Social Security and Medicare.

In the 2020 presidential election, 57% of union households voted for Joe Biden.[31]
