The party was supported by the "Democratic Women's Union" (Demokratyczna Unia Kobiet), Polish LGBT rights groups, and several small left-wing organisations. Their current stance on the party remains unknown. Since the 2023 election, the party has undergone a right-wing shift, adopting more conservative rhetorics on their media channels. In 2024, leader Piotr Musiał claimed on party's social media that DEI policies under the Biden administration were the reason for Donald Trump's victory. In 2025, the party endorsed PiS-backed presidential candidate Karol Nawrocki, with leader Piotr Musiał emphasizing national security, traditional values, and opposition to EU federalization.
