User:LizArchive/Social Democratic Party

The Social Democratic Party is one of four major contemporary parties in the United States, along with its rivals, the Bull Moose Party, New Republican Party, and Communist Party. It was founded by Freya Oliver in 1984 following the collapse of the Democratic Party.

The party generally supports social equality, civil liberty, and economic equal opportunities. Social Democrats in Congress tend to not stray far from party policy. The party supports a mixed economy, with organized labor, government-funded college tuition, universal healthcare, and consumer protection. Socially, it supports increased gun control, abortion rights, LGBT rights, and immigration and criminal justice reform.

So far, the only Social Democratic president has been the incumbent, Jeremy Grenwich. As of 1985, the party holds pluralities in both chambers of Congress and 2 state governorships.
