Democratic National Committee fundraiser Lindy Li delivered a scorching critique of her own party on Thursday, dismantling any notion of Kamala Harris making a political comeback. Her fiery comments came as buzz continues around Harris possibly running for California governor in 2026 or even staging a 2028 presidential bid.
“This is not what America wants,” Li declared bluntly on America’s Newsroom. “November 5th 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 was referring to Harris’s crushing loss to President Trump, a defeat that has left the Democratic Party reeling.
Li took particular issue with Harris’s rumored ambitions, describing them as “delusions.” She continued, “America has said, ‘We don’t want to be coconut-pilled. We do not want Kamala Harris. We don’t want failed border policies.’” In a rare moment of candor from a party insider, Li admitted what many in middle America have been saying for years: Democratic border policies have been disastrous.
Her takedown of Harris didn’t stop there. Li also criticized the Democratic Party’s refusal to accept constructive feedback, saying she has faced backlash for daring to speak the truth. “I lost tens of thousands of followers because I dared to tell the truth. Because in a cult, you can’t tell the truth. You can’t ask any questions, but I’m done with that,” she said, taking aim at the party’s intolerance for dissent.
Li didn’t mince words on cultural issues either, diving into one of the most contentious topics of our time: gender and women’s sports. “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. This should not be a controversial take,” she asserted. “The American people understand that the Democratic Party exists in their ivory towers, far removed from reality.”
Her frustration echoed sentiments from other Democrats who have begun questioning the party’s messaging and priorities following the devastating 2024 election loss. As Democrats scramble to figure out what went wrong, Li’s comments serve as a wake-up call that the party’s disconnect from everyday Americans may be its Achilles’ heel.
While some, like DNC Executive Board member Yvette Lewis, continue to prop up Harris, calling her a “phenomenal candidate,” the reality is clear: Harris’s political future is on thin ice. The swing-state sweep by Trump was a decisive rejection of Harris and the policies she represents.
If Democrats refuse to face these hard truths, they risk more losses. Li’s scathing honesty might just be the bitter medicine her party needs to get back on track.
