The Democratic Party is a United States political party. The modern Democratic Party was started by followers of Andrew Jackson. (a direct descendant of the Democratic-Republican party of Thomas Jefferson, as was the Whig Party; the United States Republican Party also sees itself as a spiritual descendant of the United States Democratic-Republican Party, but the founding party leadership of the United States Democratic Party were former members of the United States Democratic-Republican Party. Modern United States Democratic Party propaganda stresses this direct relationship, while modern United States Republican Party propaganda obscures it). Since the New Deal the Democrats have adopted policies to the left of the United States Republican Party.

On January 15, 1870 a political cartoon appearing in Harper's Weekly titled "A Live Jackass Kicking a Dead Lion" by Thomas Nast, for the first time symbolizes the Democratic Party with a donkey.
