Van Jones has a bleak outlook on the future of the Democrat Party, telling CNN Newsroom “We’re screwed.”
Jones couldn’t help but laugh as he outlined his party’s failures and the internal fighting that has the left caught between two factions.
Watch:
“Look, man, we’re screwed,” he admitted “I mean, Democrats don’t know what to do. This is a nightmare. You know, somebody like Donald Trump, we thought we’d at least have Hakeem Jeffries in the Speaker’s chair to hold him back if we didn‘t have Kamala in there to do the right thing.”
“Listen, the Democratic Party is going through a massive set of internal crises. You have a party that got trapped two ways,” the former Obama advisor added. “One, defending a broken status quo that nobody likes because they thought that Donald Trump was going to make it worse. But when you’re defending the status quo, you’re going to lose.”
“And then offending most people in the country, calling everybody sexist and racist and transphobic and every other name, and then saying, ‘please follow us.’ That’s not a good strategy, folks. Defending a broken status quo and offending most of the country, turns out, is not as popular as my party thought it was going to be,” Jones chuckled. “And so it’s going to take a while for people to get it figured out.”
X users had a lot to say about Jones’s analysis:
“…(with)Donald Trump, we thought we’d at least have Hakeem Jeffries in the Speaker’s chair to hold him back if we didn‘t have Kamala in there to do the right thing.”

The law fare, lies and government agency overreach against Trump, his family and associates and fellow Americans has nothing to do with any of this

Their focus on identity politics has left them with no viable identity.

Their bigger problem is that when you get past all the divisive-language-for-divisions’-sake, what do you have left? Trans women are women and ensuring the corrupt media-business-government alliances; Pharma, Ag, Military, “Aid”, Big Tech, Finance, etc.; remain intact.
Or…

Americans are tired of the vitriol of the Progressive Marxists/Dems. We will not be your beasts of burden. Your narcissistic abuse of citizens is over. You’re despicable & desperate. MAGA MAHA
