The Democratic Party is a political party in the United States and supposed rival of Republican Party. It was founded in 1828 by supporters of Andrew Jackson, strangely making it the oldest political party on Earth. Though according to the American Overton window, the Democrats are considered leftist, and some Democrats, including Bernie Sanders, are considered far left according to this rubric. In many other countries, however, the Democrats would be considered centrist or even right wing.
