If you’ve been watching the Democratic Party lately, you might be shaking your head like the rest of us. Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said something this week that hits the nail on the head: the only Democrats getting attention and raising money these days are the socialists. And he’s right.
Just take a look at who’s making headlines in their party. In New York City, Zohran Mamdani, a self-proclaimed socialist, just beat out former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary. That’s not just a small upset—that’s a big flashing sign that the far-left is taking over what used to be a more moderate party. And let’s not forget Omar Fateh in Minneapolis, another socialist making waves in the local elections. These aren’t just random names. These are the people setting the tone for the Democrats now.
It’s no wonder Americans are worried. We see what’s happening. Regular folks are out here working hard, trying to raise their families, and make ends meet. We don’t have time for political games or extreme ideas. But the Democrats seem to be listening more to activists screaming for socialism than to the everyday people who just want common sense in government.
McCarthy pointed out something else that’s worth thinking about. He said that every time it seems like the Democrats might get back on track, they end up moving even further left. He’s not wrong. After losing the presidential election last year, you’d think they’d take the hint. You’d think they’d realize that most Americans don’t want radical change. But instead, they doubled down on the same failed ideas that cost them the White House in the first place.
And here’s the truth the media doesn’t want to say out loud: President Trump didn’t just win—he won because Americans are fed up with where the Democrats are going. People are seeing through the empty promises and flashy slogans. They want jobs, strong borders, safe streets, and affordable groceries. Not pie-in-the-sky ideas about government handouts and tearing down the police.
Democrats are now so divided that even people like Andrew Cuomo and current New York City Mayor Eric Adams are running as independents. Think about that. These are politicians who used to be staples of the Democratic establishment, and now they’re jumping ship because their own party has gone so far left that they can’t even recognize it anymore. That tells you everything you need to know.
The rise of socialist candidates isn’t just a problem for the Democratic Party—it’s a warning sign for the country. When people like Mamdani start winning big races, it means extreme ideas are becoming normalized. And that should concern anyone who cares about freedom, personal responsibility, and the American way of life.
Most Americans don’t want socialism. We want to work hard, take care of our families, and have a government that respects our values. But the Democrats are listening to a loud minority, not to the majority who are quietly watching and taking notes.
McCarthy said that if the election were held today, President Trump would win by an even bigger margin. And you know what? He’s probably right. People have seen enough. They’ve had a taste of what far-left leadership looks like—in our cities, in our schools, and on our streets—and they don’t want more of it.
The bottom line is this: the Democrats are in trouble because they forgot who they’re supposed to serve. While they chase after socialist dreams, the rest of us are living in the real world. And come election time, the silent majority is ready to speak loud and clear.
