Identity politics can significantly impact political coalitions as groups align based on shared identities, such as race, gender, or sexuality. This alignment can strengthen alliances within marginalized communities but may also lead to fragmentation among broader political movements. Political coalitions formed around identity often focus on specific issues relevant to their constituencies, but this can risk alienating other groups with differing priorities. While it fosters representation for underrepresented voices, it may also challenge the possibility of reaching a unified political agenda across various demographics.
