Former MSNBC host Joy Reid has revealed that she's become disillusioned with the Democratic Party to the point where she's 'barely hanging on'.

The left-wing commentator said she believes the current Democrat line-up is fueling Donald Trump's agenda by failing to provide effective political opposition.

'I've been a Democrat since I was old enough to vote, but I'm barely hanging on,' Reid told The Breakfast Club podcast on Tuesday.

'At this point, the party is not bigger than the future of my kids. I have three children, that have to live in this country as black people, and fascism doesn't work for me.

'I'm not willing to cede the country to Trumpism and MAGA simply because I'm clinging to this party.'

Reid added that the party desperately needs a new leader, and a fresh ideology. She blasted Trump as having 'no actual talent' - but he still beat the Democrats.

'You have to blow up the whole Democratic Party,' she said.

She’s a socialist in fat Democrat clothing.

'You have to blow up the whole Democratic Party,' she said.

I suggest she join the Weather Underground Party or the Symbionese Liberation Army Party.

After all those years as a Democrat, she needs deliverance.

It’s reality she’s barely hanging onto.

I’m sure many folks here are going to mock Ms. Reid.

But not me. I actually feel bad for her. Pol Pot is dead. And so are Stalin and Mao. So her first three replacement choices are all unavailable.

‘You have to blow up the whole Democratic Party,’ she said.

a threat?

[Bigg Red]

Who cares what this hideous racist has to say?

[lowbridge]

So, shes leaving the democratic party behind and not her extreme leftist ideology.

Its not the party label thats the problem here, lady!

[DeplorablePaul]

Mommy dearest. No wire hangars!

[CatOwner]

This is what hardcore DEMs say when things aren’t going exactly as they would like.
