A liberal is someone who believes in liberalism, which is political and ideological philosophy. Liberals have a wide array of viewpoints, but generally support freedoms and equality. These can range from freedom of speech to gender equality.

In contrast, democrat is someone who supports the democratic party, and doesn’t reference their ideology. If the democratic party had conservative viewpoints, a democrat would also be conservative. However, in the U.S. today the Democratic Party has modern liberal views (see: Burnie Sanders), and thus Democrats are also liberal.

The difference between the liberals and democrats is as follows:

  • A liberal is someone who adheres to liberalism's political and ideological ideologies.
  • Liberals have a wide range of values, yet they all support equality and liberty.
  • This could include issues such as gender equality and freedom of expression.
  • A democrat, on the other hand, is a Democratic Party supporter who does not express their political beliefs.
  • A democrat would be conservative if the Democratic Party maintained conservative beliefs.
