“Colorado Democrats gathered for a Unity Rally on Thursday to demonstrate cohesion.”
This rally indicates a critical phase in the Democratic electoral cycle where the party must pivot from internal ideological conflict to external competition. The success of such 'unity' events often determines whether a party can maintain its voter turnout by preventing disillusioned primary losers from abstaining during the general election.
