A former Obama intern and lifelong Democrat who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 has taken to social media to blast the Democrat Party in a scathing video that exposes what conservatives have long suspected: the party is out of touch, elitist, and disconnected from the real struggles of everyday Americans.
The woman, who identifies herself as Evan, posted the video on X, where she shared her disillusionment with the Democrat Party after attending the Democratic National Convention (DNC) as a volunteer.
According to her, she left the convention early because “it sickened me.”
Evan, who has dedicated much of her career to working in ‘progressive politics,’ signed up to volunteer at this year’s DNC, expecting to find renewed faith in the Democrat Party. Instead, she found herself more disillusioned than ever before.
“Okay, I’m going to get real in this, and it’s probably going to piss some people off,” Evan begins, setting the tone for her no-holds-barred exposé.
She added:
“I just got back from the DNC, where I signed up to volunteer. When I initially signed up to volunteer, Joe Biden was still the nominee; it wasn’t yet Kamala Harris. I’ve worked in progressive politics for a long time.
I have worked for many different Democratic candidates—Senate candidates, House candidates, and even some Democratic organizations. As the years have gone by, I found myself getting more and more disillusioned with the Democratic Party, although until now, I’ve never said that out loud or anywhere public. I just want to say that by saying this, I’m not necessarily saying that the other party is better. I’m just giving you my experience working with the Democrats.”
Evan reveals the unvarnished reality of campaign fundraising, where candidates devote countless hours courting wealthy donors instead of engaging with everyday voters. This systemic flaw, according to Evan, undermines the very democracy that the party claims to champion.
“Throughout my career, I’ve mostly done campaign fundraising, so I’ve seen the way that it works behind the scenes. I know that candidates spend 8, 9, 10 hours a day just calling donors and begging rich people for money. It’s pretty much the only people that they talk to.
Of course, sometimes they have to talk to voters, but the majority of their time is spent calling and begging rich people to give them money for their campaigns. What this inevitably means is that we don’t actually live in a democracy; it’s just rich people calling the shots and having the access to talk to the politicians.
They’re the ones that basically get their ear all day. They’re the ones that can help shape and prioritize what the politician actually focuses on. Even the politicians that detest this, that want to get big money out of politics, still have to play this game. They still have to make these calls. They still spend the same amount of time just calling rich people and begging them for money.
Unfortunately, once they get into office—if they get into office—they soon realize that the money machine is so great and the seduction of power is so immense that they no longer adhere to these values. When I first got into politics, I thought that Democrats were the party of the people.
The convention atmosphere struck Evan as elitist and disconnected from the struggles of average Americans. The speeches, filled with vague promises rather than concrete plans for economic relief, left her feeling angry and betrayed.
“But at the DNC this week, I felt like I was in a building with the most elite and out-of-touch people in the entire world. It very much felt like, “Let’s just have a huge party and forget all of our problems because the vibes are good.”
When I was there, I didn’t feel any connection to real America or the place that I come from, which is the Midwest—Kansas City, Kansas, and Missouri. I didn’t feel any connection to the people that I know right now who are struggling to buy their groceries or pay their rent. The people who want to know what both candidates are going to do to materially affect change in their lives.”
Evan’s disillusionment reached a breaking point during Kamala Harris’s speech, which she found devoid of substance.
“When I was there listening to the speeches, I felt myself getting mad because I didn’t hear anything about the economy—definitely not in Kamala’s speech, and not very much in the others as well.
Instead, I heard generic platitudes, things like “joy,” “respect,” and “integrity.” What does that even mean? “Let’s make the military the most lethal in the world.” I thought I was part of the anti-war party. I thought I was part of the party that fought for the underdog, that championed working people. When and how did we just become the party of academia, anemia, and affluence? Because that’s what we are right now.
How can we ever say that we’re going to fight corporate power or give a voice back to those communities that have been left behind when, above the delegates on the floor, in levels and levels of suites, donors and corporations were literally looking down on the people below from above?
That’s what Chris Cuomo said, and he is absolutely right. I went to the DNC this year hoping that I would feel reconnected to the Democratic Party, that I would have more of a sense of understanding of Kamala and her candidacy and what she stood for. But instead, I ended up leaving feeling the opposite—more disconnected and alone than ever.”
In a final, gut-wrenching admission, Evan declared, “I don’t think I can support Kamala Harris for president. I don’t even know if I can call myself a Democrat anymore. I don’t know who I’m going to support, but I know it’s not her.”

looking down on the people below from above.
A perfect microcosm of whatever it is that has high jacked the democratic party.
FYI, this may deserve a place in the breaking sidebar.
So she finally figured out that politicians dance with the one who brought them to the dance.
Good for her.
Next she needs to examine all the trillions and trillions of dollars spent on government programs “to help the people.” She’ll learn that everything the government does and spends money on turns to shit and makes society much worse off. And that’s government of BOTH parties.
Well, there you go, another dissatisfied Kamalala customer...
The Democrat party has traditionally been on the wrong side of most issues, but today’s Democrat party is a loooong way from what this young woman is talking about. While the media is gaslighting us with the hope and joy, Americans are hurting. MSNBC tells us how electric the building is, but that doesn’t change gas or grocery prices. I’m glad she’s honest enough to admit that the party has left her. Most Dems will vote for anything with a D after their name. Hatred of God, America, conservatives, Jews, and unborn babies will do that to you.
Article:
“I thought I was part of the anti-war party.”
Lol.
She is stuck in the 1960s.
Back then in Berkeley they had a “free speech movement” as well.
Now the Democrats are fanatical censors.
While travelling around south Florida this past weekend, I caught a rebroadcast of Eric Ericson, who was talking about how to put together a ground game. It was very interesting, and too complicated to post here, but one of the takeaways was that the GOP uses mostly volunteers, while the Dems use mostly paid workers. Herein lies where the Dems have fallen into their heresy. In order to pay all those paid workers who put together a much stronger ground game than the GOP can with its volunteers, the Dems have to collect buckets of bucks from the bucketowners, meaning the rich and influential. So they get a pile from Soros types who move the party far to the left and away from America first, and another pile from the corporates who move the party away from concern for the middle class to regulations that benefit corporations and unions without benefitting the workers. But they win elections, partly through fraud in the cities, but mostly through paid-for ground game that gets the blue votes collected and counted.
And as long as the lower class gets paid off in free stuff, and the upper class gets paid off in government grants and regulations desirable to specific corporations, the middle class doesn’t matter. Which is why the middle class is moving, not necessarily to the GOP, but to MAGA and Trump.
And she’s pretty! Which is rare among commie women
What she is doing takes guts. I never thought about corporations renting suites to have a suite at the table. 500K for the top floor, down lower a cool $1 Million. They don’t invest in this, unless there is a profit in it.
Is it the same for the Republicans too? Our system is sick.
Remember when John McCain championed CFR, Campaign Finance Reform? Well it made things worse, which I am sure was the intention. GWillie Bush signed it, saying “It will likely be overturned by the USSC”. I added illie to his initial, because he is truly a dick.
Glad to hear it from her. You can bet if the Queenie wins, she’ll be draggin’ a huge negro entourage with her ever where she goes. She’ll be a Rock Star instead of a world leader. Her concerts will put Tater Swuft concerts to shame. The DNC convention was a sample of what A Hoo Doo/Timmy fest administration is going to look like. You can take that to the bank.
“everything the government does and spends money on turns to shit and makes society much worse off. And that’s government of BOTH parties.”
You nailed it.
Maduro obviously lost the Venezuelan Election by a whopping 2:1 margin.
He’s still there....
Don’t think it can’t happen here............................
Another Democrat gets red pilled. She may not cast a vote for Trump, but at least it won’t be Harris.
It’s good to see, and does seem like, more and more people are waking up from their slumber!
Right now she is suffering from PTSD.

She’s a slow learner.
>> When I first got into politics, I thought that Democrats were the party of the people.
definitely, just like Maduro
She’s gonna vote for different Democrats this year!
