As Democratic Party leaders continue their post-election damage control, a stark divide is emerging between establishment figures clinging to failed strategies and those brave enough to speak uncomfortable truths.
The whispered conversations in Washington circles are becoming public declarations, threatening to shatter carefully crafted narratives about the party’s future.
While DNC Executive Board member Yvette Lewis recently declared she would be “on board 100 percent” with whatever Kamala Harris decides to do next, calling her a “phenomenal candidate,” others within the party are breaking ranks – and breaking silence – about the reality of November’s crushing defeat.
Top Democrat Fundraiser Blasts Harris
That carefully maintained appearance of unity came crashing down on Thursday. It was then that DNC women’s co-chair Lindy Li delivered a blistering assessment that has sent shockwaves through Democratic circles.
“This is not what America wants,” Li declared on Fox News’ America’s Newsroom, addressing rumors of Harris’s potential 2026 gubernatorial or 2028 presidential aspirations. “November 5th, 2024, was a decisive defeat for the Democratic Party. She lost every single swing state. It wasn’t a squeaker like it was in 2016. This was a resounding defeat.”
Li didn’t stop there, taking direct aim at what she called Harris’s “delusions” about future political ambitions.
“Right now, Kamala Harris is indulging in delusions of running for governor of California, possibly in 2026 or even president again in 2028. America has said, ‘We don’t want to be coconut-pilled. We do not want Kamala Harris,'” Li continued.
‘Democrats Completely Failed On The Border’
The frank assessment highlighted the growing chasm between party leadership and political reality, particularly regarding critical issues facing everyday Americans.
“We don’t want failed border policies,” Li emphasized, “and I feel like I’m liberated, and I can finally tell the truth that the Democrats completely failed on the border.”
The personal cost of such candor in today’s Democratic Party became immediately apparent.
“I lost tens of thousands of followers because I dared to tell the truth,” Li revealed. “Because in a cult, you can’t tell the truth. You can’t ask any questions, but I’m done with that.”
Perhaps most telling was Li’s willingness to challenge the progressive agenda on cultural issues that have alienated mainstream voters.
“I’m probably going to get canceled again for what I am about to say — men are men and women are women, and it’s an issue when men are trouncing women in women’s sports,” she said. “This should not be a controversial take.”
Democrats Have Lost Touch With Reality
The DNC fundraiser’s comments reflect a growing recognition among some Democrats that their party has lost touch with fundamental American values.
“We care about bread and butter issues,” Li explained. “We care about putting food on the table, sending our kids to school, strong borders, not having millions of people rush to the border.”
While Harris’s team contemplates their next moves, with some former aides suggesting she needs time to “preserve her political relationships,” Li’s brutal honesty has exposed the deep divisions within a party struggling to reconcile its progressive agenda with mainstream American values.
The implications of this internal conflict extend far beyond Harris’s political future. As the Democratic Party grapples with its identity crisis, the growing divide between party leadership and reality-based assessments like Li’s suggests a broader reckoning may be inevitable.
For conservatives watching this Democratic civil war unfold, Li’s candid comments serve as validation of what they’ve long maintained. Indeed, progressive policies and personalities have led the Democratic Party far from the American mainstream. The consequences of this may reshape the political landscape for years to come.
Key Takeaways:
- DNC women’s co-chair breaks ranks and exposes the party’s denial about Harris’s crushing electoral defeat.
- Democratic establishment continues pushing a failed progressive agenda despite voter rejection.
- Speaking the truth about the border crisis and cultural issues leads to cancel culture backlash.
