Democratic Party on the political compass

The US Democratic Party is a broad centre-left coalition: more willing than the Republicans to tax, spend, and regulate, and generally more liberal on civil rights and personal life. Its map position sits just left and slightly libertarian of the centre.

Economic -2.5, social -1.5. That point lands in Social Liberalism.

Social liberalism accepts markets but wants them taxed and regulated to fund healthcare, education, and equal opportunity. It is left of centre economically and comfortable with personal freedom on social questions.
