Come January, if we transition to a Biden administration, the Democratic Party will be left with a stark choice regarding the future of their platform. During the election, rather than supporting specific policies, Democrats largely unified against President Trump. However, while this decision may have been successful, will Democrats be able to unite over any issues other than their hatred of Trump in a post-Trump world? Having run against Trump’s so-called divisiveness, there are many growing divides among their own party members they will have to address before running against the GOP again in 2024, begging the question: what will the Democratic party choose to become?
On one side, the party can stick with their traditionally liberal platform, which would likely attract center-left and moderate voters, while potentially driving away far-left voters who yearn for more government involvement and even broader social welfare programs. In this scenario, the Democrats risk fracturing their base if the radical left reject moderation and form a third party.
