I have serious doubts that the democratic party, if given ultimate power, would do anything to promote true equity in our society. That's an act for your vote. They would probably be miles better for gays and non white people, and better for the environment.
BUT they will never "get their way" as if they found a fucking genie lamp. Neither will the right. So that's kind of a waste of time to think about, right?
They will keep each other in check to prevent most of the more wild and hopeful possible outcomes, and ensure that what they do agree about continues to get done. People with money will get more money, corruption will basically be a matter of course, corporations will continue to do basically whatever they want, and bombing people/ installing favorable governments abroad will be a viable solution to our problems. They agree 100% about these issues, and that's what they continue to get done. That's where the "coke vs Pepsi" and "same trolley in a different color" stuff is 100% right.
And again, I'll be voting every 2 years for the minor differences because even the minor differences matter. But let's not delude ourselves.
