Democrat or Democratic may refer to:
Bernard "Bernie" Sanders (born September 8, 1941) is an American politician and the junior United States Senator from Vermont. He is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. A Democrat as of 2015, Sanders had been the longest-serving independent in U.S. congressional history, though his caucusing with the Democrats entitled him to committee assignments and at times gave Democrats a majority. Sanders has been the ranking minority member on the Senate Budget Committee since January 2015, and previously served for two years as chair of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee.
Sanders was born and raised in the New York City borough of Brooklyn and graduated from the University of Chicago in 1964. While a student, he was an active civil rights protest organizer for the Congress of Racial Equality and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. After settling in Vermont in 1968, Sanders ran unsuccessful third-party campaigns for governor and U.S. senator in the early to mid-1970s. As an independent, he was elected mayor of Burlington, Vermont's most populous city, in 1981, and was reelected three times. In 1990, he was elected to represent Vermont's at-large congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives. In 1991, Sanders co-founded the Congressional Progressive Caucus. He served as a congressman for 16 years before being elected to the U.S. Senate in 2006. In 2012, he was reelected with 71% of the popular vote. During the 2016 presidential primaries, Sanders became the first self-described democratic socialist and first Jewish American to win a presidential primary of a major party, namely the New Hampshire primary.

Plot: The highly anticipated, comic and controversial feature documentary, "Flock of Dodos: the evolution-intelligent design circus," is the first feature film to take an even-handed look at the intelligent design vs. evolution clash that appeared on the covers of Time and Newsweek in 2005. Filmmaker, scientist, surfer and evolutionary biologist Dr. Randy Olson explores the controversy over the teaching of evolution and the recently developed alternative, intelligent design. Olson, a native of Kansas, visits his home state and the community of Dover, Pennsylvania, which attempted to introduce intelligent design in science classes. Olson draws on basic aspects of evolution as metaphors, including the extinct dodo, which he suggests symbolizes what happens to those unable to change with their environment. Featured are seven top advocates for intelligent design, including Dr. Michael Behe, author of "Darwin's Black Box," fourteen evolution Ph.D.'s, a poker game among eight evolutionists, a rabbit eating its own poop, and a flock of animated dodos playing poker, dancing, and helping the audience answer the question, "who really is the 'flock of dodos?'"

Mit deinem Begriff "Demokratie"
Ein System ohne Unterdrückung
Ich sage dir, das klappt wohl nie
Politisch links, politisch rechts
Das hat doch alles den selben Klang
Regierung bleibt Regierung
Und Regierung, das heiÃt Zwang
Politisch links, politisch rechts
Das hat doch alles den selben Klang
Regierung bleibt Regierung
Und Regierung, das heiÃt Zwang
Demokratie!
Demokratie - die klappt wohl nie!
Wir haben keine Möglichkeit zur Veränderung
Der Politikerkreis ist zu
Nur ein kleiner Teil hat das Sagen
Ich nenne das eine Diktatur
Politisch links, politisch rechts
Das hat doch alles den selben Klang
Regierung bleibt Regierung
Und Regierung, das heiÃt Zwang
Politisch links, politisch rechts
Das hat doch alles den selben Klang
Regierung bleibt Regierung
Und Regierung, das heit Zwang
Demokratie!
Demokratie - die klappt wohl nie!
Die Staatsideen von "Recht + Freiheit"
Sind zwar Rentnern frei genug
Doch das demokratische System
Ist ein einziger Betrug
Ist ein einziger Betrug
Demokratie!
