Question

What kinds of views differentiate conservative Democrats from liberal Democrats?

Answer 1

Conservative means desire to maintain the status quo and not want change.

Liberal means a desire to seek change.

However, in today's vernacular, the term conservative has been associated with Republicans and liberal with Democrats.  Unfortunately, this has led to quite a bit of confusion.  So, strictly speaking, a liberal Democrat would be a Democrat that wants things to change and a conservative Democrat would desire things to remain the same.

Thus, most Democrats would be conservative when it comes to things that may affect their majority in Congress, and liberal when it comes to who holds the office of President.

In the United States today, there is a deep rumbling for change, which makes most voters liberal.  But, this is based on a sagging economy, an unpopular war, and a feeling that the system isn't working.  Most people, if answering honestly, do not think that if their party wins the presidency that things will be instantly fixed, but they understand that doing so will perhaps start the ball rolling.
