Internal Strife Is Crippling the Democratic Party

Seven months after Donald Trump’s decisive victory over Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party isn’t just licking its wounds—it’s unraveling from within. For all their talk about unity and “resisting Trump,” the message has worn thin. Opposition alone isn’t a strategy, and now Democrats are flailing for a path forward, bitterly divided and teetering on the edge of political collapse.
A new report from The Hill exposes the depth of the chaos consuming the party, and frankly, it's even worse than conservatives dared hope.
The Democrats are facing what can only be described as a perfect storm of their own making. Internal warfare, fallout from the cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline, and leadership failures have created a toxic brew that threatens to poison any chance of a comeback. As The Hill reports, "Intraparty fighting is threatening to stall the Democratic Party's efforts to rebuild seven months after President Trump's sweeping general election victory."
The story notes that the party is also grappling with "revelations and questions about the last months of former President Biden's administration and whether he was in the midst of a cognitive decline,” and the prospect of “a number of high-profile primaries in the year ahead.”
The current infighting reached peak absurdity with the David Hogg fiasco. According to the article, "ousted Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg has been at the center of controversy, using his political group to challenge incumbent House Democrats."
Are you popping popcorn yet? Because this is going to be fun.
The dysfunction burst into the open when leaked audio from a DNC call revealed Chair Ken Martin venting his frustrations with Hogg. The fallout? The party was forced to hold a do-over election for vice chair—allegedly due to a ridiculous diversity quota rule. Hogg, despite his Harvard education, had the foresight to see he was finished, and bowed out… but not before throwing a tantrum on social media, accusing Democrat leadership of being “asleep at the wheel.”

Democratic strategist Mike Nellis is desperately trying to spin this disaster. “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,” he told The Hill.
Sure. Okay. Whatever you say.
The Democrats' attempts to project strength are laughably transparent. They're pointing to a handful of special election wins as evidence of their "unprecedented track record," but these cherry-picked victories can't mask the fundamental rot at the party's core. Perhaps most tellingly, the party's response to their crisis is to blame everyone else. They're "pushing back on the notion that they are the only party that is facing disunity," pointing to supposed Republican divisions. This is classic Democrat deflection—when your house is on fire, point at your neighbor's smoking chimney.
The reality is that Democrats are facing a reckoning they've been avoiding for years. Their elderly leadership clung to power too long, their messaging failed to resonate with working Americans, and their internal culture prioritizes virtue signaling over supporting policies Americans support.
The Democratic Party isn't just in trouble—it's in full crisis mode. And for conservatives watching this implosion, it couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch. The chickens, as they say, have come home to roost.
