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’. 

A left-wing commentator expressed her concern that the current lineup of Democrats is inadvertently supporting Donald Trump’s agenda. According to her, their failure to offer an effective political opposition is aiding Trump.

‘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. 

She went on to highlight her personal stake in the matter, mentioning her three children who will have to navigate a country where they are seen as black individuals. For her, the rise of fascism is not a suitable future for her kids.

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

The commentator emphasized the urgent need for a new leader within the party and a reinvigorated ideology. She criticized Trump, stating that despite what she sees as a lack of real ability on his part, he still managed to triumph over the Democrats.

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

‘I feel like the Democrats need a whole new ideology, because they lost to that,’ Reid added, referring to Trump.

‘I’m not willing to cede the country to Trumpism and MAGA simply because I’m clinging to this party,’ Reid said as she revealed she’s become disillusioned with the Democratic Party 

‘So what does it say about them? You got to just blow it all up. There’s nothing to be said from anybody in that old regime.’

She defended Joe Biden’s former press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for also expressing her dissatisfaction with the party, and leaving to become an independent.

‘People getting all mad at Karine Jean-Pierre for saying she’s’ done with the party – I’m not mad at that because at this point, who cares what the party label is?

‘Give me an effective fighter. If Jasmine Crockett is the most effective fighter, give me Jasmine Crockett,’ Reid said, referring to the progressive Democrat Texas congresswoman. 

‘And I really don’t care what you have to move around or who you have to disappoint in order to give me her. Just give me her because we need a leader.’

A recent CNN poll indicated that left-leaning voters are not drawn to any particular politician to lead their party to victory in the next presidential election. 

The survey showed that liberals believe New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the person who best reflects the party’s key principles. 

However, there wasn’t a clear winner and many respondents had no opinion at all.

The survey asked Democrats and Democratic-leaning Independent voters which politician best reflects the core values of the Democratic Party today.

Ten percent of voters chose AOC while former Vice President Kamala Harris was a close second with nine percent of the votes.

Sanders came in third with eight percent while House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was placed fourth with six percent.

Former President Barack Obama and Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett were tied for fifth with four percent. 

Obama has already served two terms as president and cannot run again.  

California Governor Gavin Newsom, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer were all tied at two percent.

Pelosi is 85 now and will be closing in on 89 by the time of the 2029 inauguration. 

Another fifteen Democrats including some lawmakers and governors each received one percent of the votes, while a whopping 26 percent of respondents had no opinion.

Trump allies greeted the results of the poll as good news as the progressive Democratic congresswoman has long been accused of being too far left by moderates.

Conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro also shared the poll on his show, dubbing the results ‘brutal’ for Democrats. 

He claimed the New York Congresswoman is ‘totally out of touch with most Americans.’ 

The survey conducted March 6-9 included 1,206 respondents and has a margin of error of 3.3 percentage points.
