The final triumph of Donald J. Trump has left Democrats a dispirited bunch with the party on the brink of what could be an ugly fracture.

The president-elect’s pulverizing of Kamala Harris by an electoral score of 312-226 has left Democrats in disarray with fingers pointing in every direction to assess the blame amid early signs that the party could break into warring camps.

While much of the punditry and party boss Nancy Pelosi are hanging the defeat around Joe Biden’s neck, moderate and far-left House members are sniping at each other with Axios reporting on the raw feelings and recriminations spilling over after the last ounce of joy was sucked out of “Kamalot” by Trump and the voters.

One unnamed progressive lawmaker vented that there “is some real responsibility to be taken,” by leadership. “Just acting like we’re in a pep rally, saying, ‘You all did a good job. … I think it’s bullsh*t. Let’s acknowledge that we failed.”

“I think the identity politics stuff is absolutely killing us,” a centrist House member told the outlet, an admission of how toxic the “woke” brand has become with normal Americans.

Another anonymous prog’s remarks show just how the tail wags the dog in today’s Democrat Party where a minuscule demographic’s agenda has taken on an outsized priority compared to its actual numbers, whining that “members that are blaming the trans community and the LGBT community, members who are saying that progressives are the reason we lost the election.”

“Some of us got 78% of the vote in our own elections and the VP got 53%, 54% in some cases — or got less than that,” the left-wing Dem said.

“Whatever you want to try to say about Kamala Harris and her record, you can’t try to claim she was a Joe Biden moderate. That’s just not accurate,” said one moderate, pointing out that Harris was an extreme radical and despite three solid months of media gaslighting, she didn’t fool the public.

Congressional Progressive Caucus leader Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX) suggested that the party’s failure to address the pain inflicted on voters by four years of Bidenomics and a lack of “bold solutions” hurt Harris and the party.

“You can’t bring a policy paper to a gunfight. This was a populist moment, and we should recognize that,” he added.

The famous James Carville maxim of “it’s the economy stupid” was echoed by Comrade Bernie Sanders who slammed his party’s abandoning its one-time championing of the working class.

“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” the Vermont senator said in a statement after the election was called for Trump. “First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.”

Pelosi – whose fingerprints are all over the debacle – clapped back at the communist curmudgeon.

“Let me, with all due respect, and I have a great deal of respect for him, for what he stands for, but I don’t respect him saying that the Democratic Party has abandoned the working-class families. That’s where we are,” the former House speaker told the New York Times during a recent podcast.

“Bottom line, if you’re a working person out there, do you really think that the Democratic Party is going to the max, taking on powerful special interests and fighting for you? I think the overwhelming answer is no,” Sanders said in response to Pelosi.

In recent years, the Democrats have been less of a party than a conglomeration of competing identity groups with their shared hatred for Trump being the glue that kept them together which worked for as long as they were able to unify for the common cause of keeping him from returning to the White House.

They failed and pretty soon it could be a free-for-all.

“People are going to their corners in the ring and saying, ‘We’re the winning corner,’” Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) told Axios.

“I think that you’re going to see some of the highest numbers of primaries in 2026 — to the left and to the right,” another Dem House member said. “It’s going to feel like four parties.”
