民主党是左翼政党，是改革性质浓厚点的政党，政策比较偏向中产阶级，重视福利和公平，推动改革。共和党是右翼政党，代表的是大资本家的利益，政策比较容易被利益集团所左右，是保守性政党。

Economic issues

Democrats generally support a more progressive tax structure to provide

more services and reduce economic inequality

Republicans emphasize the role of free markets and individual achievement

as the primary factors behind economic prosperity. To this end, they favor

laissez-faire economics, fiscal conservatism, and the promotion of

personal responsibility over welfare programs.、

Environment

Democrats believe that the government should protect the environment and

have a history of environmentalism. In more recent years, this stance has

had as its emphasis alternative energy generation as the basis for an

improved economy, greater national security, and general environmental

benefits

Some Republicans are skeptical of anthropogenic global warming and

question scientific studies on the impact of human activity on climate

change Instead, they assert that global warming is part of a natural

cyclical phenomenon, or is caused by a number of other alternative factors.

The Republican Party has supported the protection of the environment.

College education

Most Democrats have the long-term aim of having low-cost, publicly funded

college education with low tuition fees (like in much of Europe and Canada),

which should be available to every eligible American student, or

alternatively, with increasing state funding for student financial aid

such as the Pell Grant or college tuition tax deduction

Self-identified Republicans are significantly more likely than Democrats

to have 4-year college degrees.

Social policies

Generally speaking, most Republicans have opposed government recognition

of same-sex unions such as with same-sex marriage.

The Democratic Party has been divided on the subject of same-sex marriage,

though support for it has been increasing and most of the support for

same-sex marriage in the United States has come from Democrats. Some

members favor civil unions for same-sex couples, others favor full and

equal legalized marriage, and others are opposed to same-sex marriage on

religious or ideological grounds. Support for same-sex marriage has

increased in the past decade according to ABC News.
