A "Democrat" is a member of the "Democratic Party" of the USA, it is not a political ideology in itself. Democrats are usually economic Liberals and don't care that much about workers or the environment, but some are Social Democrats (Bernie Sanders). They are also usually socially progressive.
The Republican Party is also composed mainly of economic liberals; however, they are typically socially conservative.
