It’s been a November to forget for the Democratic Party. Heading into Election Day, they were confident, almost smug, believing their grip on power was secure. They had the polls, the pundits, and the media echo chamber all telling them the same thing: victory was inevitable. But reality hit like a freight train, and the aftermath has been spectacularly messy.
Not only did Republicans retake the presidency, with Donald Trump handing Kamala Harris a stunning defeat in both the Electoral College and the popular vote, but the GOP also regained control of both the Senate and the House. If that doesn’t scream “referendum,” I don’t know what does. The American people didn’t just reject Harris—they sent a loud and clear message to the entire Democratic Party: Enough is enough.
And now, as the dust settles, the Democrats are doing what they do best when things go sideways—tearing each other apart. The party has spiraled into what can only be described as a civil war between its progressive wing and its establishment old guard.
Take this tidbit from Breitbart News, which shines a spotlight on the chaos:
The Justice Democrats, a progressive group best known for championing candidates like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are gearing up to primary establishment Democrats in the 2026 midterms. According to an interview with Salon, the group blames party leadership for the 2024 disaster and plans to push even harder to replace moderate Democrats with far-left progressives in safe blue districts.
Their spokesperson, Usamah Andrabi, didn’t hold back, blasting the party’s leadership for failing to deliver results. “It’s time to clean up shop in the Democratic Party, frankly,” Andrabi declared, adding that the establishment’s strategies are out of sync with what voters actually want.
Let’s not forget, this is the same Justice Democrats group that brought us “Squad” members like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, whose brand of radical leftism has done little to win over everyday Americans. Now, they’re doubling down, aiming to shove more far-left candidates into Congress while accusing moderate Democrats of “catering to billionaires” instead of the working class.
Here’s the irony: the Democratic Party tried to placate these progressives by leaning into their woke agenda over the last few years. But, predictably, nothing is ever enough for the radical left. Give them an inch, and they’ll demand a mile. Now, when their policies have driven voters away in droves, the progressives are pointing fingers at their own party’s leadership.
Take Andrabi’s comments:
“For so long, the Democratic Party has tried to be a big tent that somehow includes the working class and the billionaire class… We continue to align ourselves with the wealthiest few, and everyday people are beginning to take notice.”
Oh, the irony of this statement from a group that thrives on division and thrives even more on shifting goalposts whenever they don’t get their way. It’s no wonder moderate Democrats are stuck in the crossfire, trying to fend off challengers from their own side while also attempting to regain trust from the voters they’ve alienated.
And what about those voters? Millions of Americans have been struggling to make ends meet in Biden and Harris’s economy. They don’t want more woke theatrics; they want solutions. Inflation, crime, and skyrocketing energy costs are what keep Americans up at night—not radical ideologies from the progressive wing of the party.
This internal battle is a train wreck in slow motion, and honestly, it’s a sight to behold. The establishment Democrats are scrambling to contain the damage, while progressives are sharpening their knives for 2026. Meanwhile, Republicans are sitting back and enjoying the show.
Here’s the truth: the more time Democrats spend fighting each other, the less time they have to push their failed agenda onto the rest of us. So, let them squabble. Let the progressives and moderates duke it out. The American people have already spoken loud and clear—they want results, not radicals.
As this civil war unfolds, one thing is certain: the Democratic Party is a house divided. And as history has shown, a house divided against itself cannot stand.
