At this point the Democratic Party is slightly more liberal than it was before due to ancestral Democrats becoming non-existent and being replaced voters who are moderate but still more liberal than them. And of course the Republican Party is obviously more conservative. This is how I see a hypothetical multiple party structure.
Democratic Party: Liberal with pragmatic, but progressive economic policy. A mix of traditional liberal Democrats and newer suburban Democrats.
Progressive Party: Left with bolder progressive economic goals, but willing to work with Democrats.
People's Party: Based on agrarianism and labor unions. Goal would be to revitalize the Midwest, Rust Belt and the Plains. Sort of a big tent party.
Reformation: Center party that is socially liberal, but economically centrist. Pro-free trade and pro-growth. Would promote progressive issues from a business friendly point of view (tax breaks for companies going green) and focus on generic issues of reform. Basically a party to protect business interests in a country moving left in some places.
Republican Party: Center-right with conservative economic policy that makes some concessions (like expanding Medicaid). Reasonable on environmental issues and would be moderate on social issues or not dwell on them much.
National Party: Far right with a hardcore conservative agenda focused on strict immigration policy, cultural conservatism, law and order, and nationalism.
And of course there would be the Libertarian Party, The Green Party etc.
