The Democratic Party is a political party in the UCAS.
The Democrats lost a fair amount of ground over the past few decades. They've tried to make up for it by embracing some of the more radical and liberal factions, particularly the Green Party, which they all but absorbed years ago. Democrats still tend to support social programs, active government, and throwing money at problems until they go away (or at least until the media shuts up about them). They also support things like ecological initiatives (as long as they're not too radical or inconvenient) and metahuman rights. They've recently championed equal treatment for changelings as well.
