    I don't really know much about politics, to be fair, if somebody here can elaborate a bit on the views a liberal candidate has in comparison to the views a democrat one has, please do.

     

    In US politics essentially you have 2 parties - Democrats (liberal/left) and Republicans (conservative/right). Within these 2 parties you will find various factions, but for the explanation you don't really need to know them. Democrats will typically support social safety nets such as pensions, unemployment benefits, higher minimum wage and so on with Republicans having the "pull yourself by the bootstraps" mentality that it's only work, hard work and more work can pull you out of poverty. On the social side of things Democrats support gay rights, abortion, legalized weed, transgenders, basically "live and let live" mentality. Republicans on the other hand are against this and advocate for "traditional families" as well as being tough on crime/drugs with more power given to law enforcement. In real life, Democrats often win by significant margins in the big cities in nearly all states while Republicans scoop up majority of the rural/countryside areas. In New York it's pretty much been a Democrat stronghold since forever with the only exception being mayoral elections with a few notable Republican mayors.

     

    As per voter base, Republicans get a lot of support from business owners, religious voters (except for muslims), certain white voters, law enforcement, military. On the other hand Democrats find their voter base within ethnic minorities, more educated (diploma-wise) voters, young people, small part of business owners and unions.

    This is generalizing A LOT but it hopefully gives you a general idea of things.
