The Democratic Party is grappling with major internal divisions following Vice President Kamala Harris' decisive loss to President-elect Donald Trump in the presidential election, with prominent Democratic National Committee (DNC) campaign advisor and fundraiser Lindy Li being the most recent vocal critic, with her accusing the party of being out of touch with voters and indulging in "delusions" regarding Harris' political future.
In a series of interviews, Li sharply criticized the Harris campaign, calling it a "$1 billion disaster" and highlighting its significant debt, reportedly between $18 million and $20 million.
Li, a member of the DNC's National Finance Committee, expressed frustration with the campaign's financial management and messaging, stating that she and other donors and fundraisers were led to believe the race was "eminently winnable." (Related: Shocking admission: Internal polling from Kamala Harris' campaign never showed her beating Donald Trump.)
“I raised millions [for the party] I have friends that I have to be accountable to and to explain what happened, because I told them it was a margin-of-error race,” Li said during a Fox News interview. She emphasized that she does not blame Harris personally, noting that the vice president was “handed” the responsibility of running in this election and she believes Harris did her best under challenging circumstances.
Harris' campaign faced significant hurdles, including a short runway of just 107 days after President Joe Biden's decision not to seek reelection. Despite this, the campaign raised substantial funds but failed to secure victory in any of the seven key battleground states.
Li's criticisms extend beyond the campaign's finances. She has accused the Democratic Party of being disconnected from the concerns of everyday Americans, particularly on issues like border security, economic stability and cultural debates.
"We care about bread and butter issues. We care about putting food on the table, sending our kids to school, strong borders," Li said, adding that the party's focus on "ivory tower" issues has alienated voters.
Her remarks have sparked mixed reactions within the party. Some Democrats, like major donor John Morgan, have supported her assessment, calling her "right on." Others, however, have pushed back.
Matt Bennett of the center-left think tank Third Way argued that campaigns should spend all available resources on high-stakes elections, while Scott Merrick, a Democratic strategist, suggested the issue was less about finances and more about messaging.
"The $1 billion disaster isn't the fact that the Harris campaign lost. I think it's about the DNC, along with the campaign, didn't do anything to change messaging," Merrick said. He questioned whether reallocating funds would have made a difference if the party failed to address voter concerns effectively.
The discussions and debates regarding the Democratic Party's performance comes amid intensified talks regarding the party's future. The party lost the White House and the Senate and failed to flip the House.
Some party members, including DNC Executive Board member Yvette Lewis, have expressed support for Harris' potential political comeback, calling her a "phenomenal candidate." However, Li has dismissed such talk as "delusions," arguing that Harris' electoral defeat was a clear rejection by voters.
As the party begins its post-election analysis, strategists like Rodell Mollineau have called for a comprehensive approach to understanding the loss.
"We need to at least start off with an all-of-the-above approach to why we lost and how we regain our footing," Mollineau said, emphasizing the need to bridge the gap between the party and voters.

Epstein's Island was the tip of the iceberg in the child sex trafficking conglomerate. Survivor of the CIA's child sex trafficking program (MK Ultra), Cathy O'Brien names Republicans and Democrats at the highest levels of government involved in child sex trafficking in her two books "Access Denied" and "Transformation of America". They use the film footage as blackmail against members of Congress. Ronald Regans' own Attorney General Dick Thornburg was orchestrating the child sex trafficking AND dealing cocaine before having to resign. Gerald Ford, George Bush, Senator Robert Byrd (who Biden worshipped), Dick Cheney, were also "handlers" for the girls. Michael Jackson, Loretta Lynn, Barbara Mandrell, and numerous other celebrities were victims.

The Demonrats ran naked to the globalist agenda finish line in these last four years. It was for this very reason WHY the Demonrats lost the popular vote to Benedict Trump of all people.
James Corbett actually got it RIGHT by predicting "2024 as the year of the deep fake", even though he thought he got it wrong. Trump's 're-selection' is the biggest deep fake since the scamdemic. If you read my comments here at NN when THEY were swearing in BrainDead Biden (2021), I told each and every one of you that THEY were going to reinstall Benedict Trump in 2024. Not at all hard to predict. Maybe one day Mike will have me on as a guest. The population has rebelled against their globalist masters, and THEY need Trump as a 'reset mechanism' to run cover and further their agenda. Of, course THEIR media will play their part by screaming from the roof tops that Benedict Trump's MAGA has to be defeated (2028) in order to "save democracy" by INSTALLING (most likely) Big Mike Obummer.
