Although the party of Democrat had an unfavorable beginning platform supporting the suppression and ownership of fellow human beings, it has consistently been a party of progression.
On the opposite side of humanity is the GOP Republican, which has consistently worked to maintain a system of slavery and human oppression. Just look at the well established practices of GOP Republicans; highlights being constant catering to the class of money. True members of the GOP have a habit of wanting to be as submissive as is possible without falling over, yet usually do when trying with such effort to make sure their noses are kept moist with a smelly brown substance about to be expelled from their objects of devotion, which are actually objections to humanity and the world itself.
Based upon historical practices the majority of Presidents who truly acted for the benefit of the entire country known as the United States of America were all of the party Democrat, even if they were not registered or elected as such.
Theodore Roosevelt was clearly a Democrat and clearly made strong efforts into actions for the benefit of the every day person—“credit belongs to the one who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again.” Again and again Teddy pushed against the likes of JP Morgan who smugly expressed that “[he] owe[s] the public nothing”, which is evidentially and clearly an untruth.

Another true Democrat was Abraham Lincoln. For every act he took was to ensure an ongoing United States of America. The act of a true GOP Republican would be to drive wedge after cutting wedge into the fabric of unity, historically and presently. It is as if the GOP has systematically morphed into a more and more deadly virus, for which humanity is the cure.
