What is Social Democracy?

There are a number of variants, but we can provisionally define it as a political ideology which prescribes the use of democratic collective action to extend the principles of freedom and equality valued by democrats in the political sphere to the organization of the economy and society, chiefly by opposing the inequality and oppression created by laissez-faire capitalism.

Rules:

Debate must be conducted in a respectful and dignified manner and without resorting to the impugning of other members' character.
Abuse, intimidation, harassment, and deliberately antagonistic behaviour is absolutely prohibited.
No racism, sexism, homophobia, or any other form of bigotry or hate.
If you link to a news article behind a paywall, you must copy and paste the article in full in the body of your post.
While not required, you are strongly encouraged to provide direct citations or references for claims where this would be clearly helpful for fellow users to verify.

Yup. Turns out everyone is on a team now, and it extends even to religion. Politics now determines your religion more than your religion determines your politics.

Edit: Oh, boy. downvoting facts again. Yes, of course YOU are not on a team. You are an INDEPENDENT THINKER that ONLY SEEKS THE TRUTH. I'm talking about those OTHER people.

The religious profiles of U.S. adults – how religious they are and what religion they identify with – are closely aligned with their partisan political identities, according to the new Religious Landscape Study (RLS).
