Infighting jeopardizes hopes of Democratic comeback
The Hill ^ | 06/15/25 6:00 AM ET | by Julia Manchester

Intraparty fighting is threatening to stall the Democratic Party’s efforts to rebuild seven months after President Trump’s sweeping general election victory.

The party has also been roiled by revelations and questions about the last months of former President Biden’s administration and whether he was in the midst of a cognitive decline.

They also will have to contend with a number of high-profile primaries in the year ahead.

And ousted Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg has been at the center of controversy, using his political group to challenge incumbent House Democrats.

History suggests Democrats have a chance to win back the House in next year’s midterm elections, since the president’s party usually uses seats in such cycles.

But the multiple fractures for Democrats are a real risk.

Some Democrats acknowledge the bad vibes hanging over the party, even as they argued things are brighter than they appear.

“The narrative right now is we’re a bunch of losers running around like chickens with our heads cut off and I don’t think that’s the case,” said Mike Nellis, a Democratic strategist and former senior adviser to former Vice President Kamala Harris.

He suggested some of the party’s problems are just typical after a lost presidential election.

“We are a party out of power without a standard-bearer and that isn’t going to change until the presidential election,” he said.

Democratic infighting spilled onto center stage earlier this week when recording a recent DNC call was leaked, revealing DNC Chair Ken Martin venting about his frustration with Hogg — who denies being the source behind the leak.

They are killing each other now but still sending assassins after Republcans. Wait until the 2026 mid terms come along. Marcy Park should get a lot of use.

Well, they have three years and nine months to come up with something. Anything. ;)

Maybe they should have weekly pro-illegals protests and burn more police cars? I think that message has worked well for them so far.

Oh, wait! Maybe they should start shooting more of their OWN Legislators? That’s on-point with their violent, insane Party Platform, too!

Yeah - just keep on keepin’ on, rabid Socialist Democrats. ;)

I do. And it's a sight to behold.

Conservatives should Operation Chaos every single primary nutroot that Hogg puts up to dislodge an incumbent scumbag establishment Democrat. This does two things: gives any GOP at least a shot at talking himself into office in a purple district; or puts an unhinged marxist into office who will be an unlanced pimple on the butt of hoodoo Hockeem and a drag on the Democrat Minority for 2 years.

I certainly hope that the Democratic Party keeps choosing to die on the hill of "transgender" - though my popcorn supply is getting rather low

[SBSQ #21: Why young men don't like Democrats]

Because DEMOCRATS want to turn young men into "transgender"
gay poofters that wear dresses and prance around like Gay Timmy Walz?


America's DEMOCRATS having a rally nearby? DEMOCRATS have
a lot of "guys" that wear dresses or other clothing pertaining to females

The demoncrats don’t have any leadership ideas, only political tactics. Tactics serve strategy…

We need to fan the flames but remember we’re still republicans-the stupid ones.

Perhaps we now have competition.

Yep. We never get down and fight in the mud. We always yield. And when we win, we still give ground. It’s a perpetual re-telling of “The Scorpion and the Frog”.

If the Republicans could just learn —— this will DESTROY much of the Democratic Party

WHEN and IF they try to abandon it, MORE INFIGHTING inside the Democratic Party will result - again, towards the goal

[They are at war with God, Man, nature, justice and reason. They do not seem to be inclined to stop.]

Indeed - the Wicked shall do Wickedly (Daniel the prophet)

Jesus came to divide the SHEEP and the GOATS

It's quite obvious that Democrats are GOATS

Democrat Kamala Harris PROVED that she is spirit of antichrist

[Leftists today are firmly on the side of the Devil]

Good thing they weren't at a
Democrat Kamala Harris pro-Abortion Rally,
they would have been THROWN OUT!


God may not be a Republican
But Satan is certainly a Democrat.


DEMOCRAT Kamala Harris was
SELLING ABORTION FOR VOTES WHEN THIS HAPPENED:


Democrat Kamala Harris was willing to have a few million babies killed so that she could have POWER



Those two Christians did America a BIG FAVOR by revealing
that the spirit-of-antichrist is in Democrat Kamala Harris

Of course they were cursed, mocked and ejected but they'll be just fine.


DEMOCRAT Kamala Harris was SELLING ABORTION FOR VOTES WHEN THIS HAPPENED:

Democrat Kamala Harris gonna do her "Deny The Lord Jesus Tour" again?

“Infighting jeopardizes hopes of Democratic comeback”

Never see headlines like this when the GOP were the minority.

It’s always so one-sided, continually.
