The Democratic Party exhibits varying levels of authoritarianism, particularly evident during the 2016 primaries. Research indicates that authoritarian tendencies among Democrats influenced voting patterns, with high authoritarians favoring establishment candidates like Hillary Clinton over progressives like Bernie Sanders. This divide underscores a psychological inclination towards order and conformity among high authoritarians, complicating party unity and leadership dynamics. Additionally, critiques of the Biden administration's actions, such as perceived censorship and exclusion of political opponents, further fuel claims of authoritarianism within the party[1][2][4].
