Democrat Party Faces More Issues
Former MSNBC host Joy Reid—once a loud voice for the liberal establishment—has now turned on her own party. In a stunning moment of honesty, Reid admitted she’s “barely hanging on” as a Democrat, blasting the party’s lack of direction, energy, and leadership.
“I’ve identified as a Democrat since I was first able to vote, but lately it’s been hard to stay committed,” Reid said during her appearance on The Breakfast Club podcast. “Right now, I can’t put the party above what’s best for my children’s future.”
This isn’t coming from a conservative commentator—it’s coming straight from the heart of the left-wing media machine. Reid’s former show, The ReidOut, was canceled by MSNBC in February. And now, she’s openly questioning whether the Democratic Party has a future at all.
“I’m Not Willing to Cede This Country to Trump Just to Save the Democrats”
Reid, a longtime critic of President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, didn’t hold back. She said she refuses to “cede the country to Trumpism” just to remain loyal to a party she says is failing.
She even praised ex-White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for walking away from the party altogether, amid what Reid called a “total absence of leadership.”
“We need a leader,” Reid demanded. “If Jasmine Crockett is the most effective fighter, then give me Jasmine Crockett. I don’t care who you have to push aside. Just give me someone who can lead.”
“Democrats Are Too Orderly for This Fight”
Perhaps most revealing was Reid’s criticism of the Democrat establishment’s obsession with hierarchy and procedure—what she sees as a fatal flaw in the age of bold, populist politics.
“Democrats are very orderly,” Reid said. “They prioritize whose turn it is. They’re almost too structured for fascism. In fascism, you can’t be orderly because the other side is messy.”
That “messy” side? Reid is talking about Donald Trump and the America First movement—which she begrudgingly acknowledges is outmaneuvering Democrats who are stuck in a 1990s playbook.
Even Liberal Media Figures Are Sounding the Alarm
For older Americans who have watched political trends unfold over decades, this is a major red flag. When even MSNBC’s Joy Reid is questioning the Democrat Party’s survival, it shows just how deep the internal panic has become.
With President Trump gaining momentum and the Democrat Party tearing itself apart from within, the question becomes clearer every day:
Can the Left lead a nation when they can’t even lead themselves?
