The party faced several challenges in its early days. The party had to campaign among already established parties such as the [[HL:Harlonian Centre Party|Harlonian Centre Party (HCP)]], [[HL:Living City Party|Living City Party (LCP)]] and [[HL:Harlon Progress Party|Business Party (BP)]], all which already had support among the electorate. The party also had two further challengers, the [[HL:Coconut Mall Party|Coconut Mall Party (CMP)]], and [[HL:Harlonian Green Party|Harlonian Green Party (HGP)]], who had also recently been founded, but had begun their campaigns earlier then DAB. |

After the party was formed, there were several problems that the newborn party had to face. The most important problem is to gain support from the public. Compare HCP, LCP and BP, these parties existed for a long time and they had gained majority support from the public; besides, new parties such as CMP and HGP are starting to grow inside Harlon, they had started their campaign very early that buys them time, these are the difficulties that DAB had to face. |

The party logo's big "D" letter was meant to represent on how the party aims to defend democracy in Harlon. [[File:Dab note.png|thumb|Election poster from the GE of April 2021]] |

Another problem DAB had to face is a lack of funding. Since the party formed pretty late, the number of supporters is little compared to other parties. With the help from the thegoldenportal and GreenPower312, the party managed to keep its financial stability until today. |
