IMHO there are primarily three reasons people are democrats:
1. They are receiving benefits for all types of things and the perception is that republicans will take that away which is not true ( which is another topic all together). Free housing, daycare, education, food stamps, welfare, phones, healthcare. etc. etc. etc. while many are working for cash on the side. When you add it all up they are making more than most of us.
2. They believe "rich" people are evil and have gotten their wealth from robbing the "poor" people. They see the democrats as the party that will get those rich people and make them pay their fair share.
3. They think everyone in society should have the same things. If someone has more than someone else they should have to split it with them. They see democrats as the party that is trying to equalize society.
there are probably alot of other reasons (some being racial i'm sure) but these are the main ones
