A podcaster who claims to have mingled with the political elite at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago has decided to throw in the towel on Vice President Kamala Harris. After witnessing the spectacle, she realized her dinner conversation is worth more than what the Dems are serving up on their political platter, which might explain her sudden epiphany as she recorded a TikTok summarizing her experience.
The Democrat landscape took a sharp turn as Harris accepted her nomination to ride alongside a nearly extinct President Joe Biden, who decided to call it quits on his reelection bid, leaving the whole crew grasping for relevance. According to the podcast co-host known as Evan, the crowd was a far cry from the “real America” hailing from the heartland—Kansas City, to be precise. The conclave attendees were painted as elite, out-of-touch “most elite and out-of-touch people in the entire world,” drowning in their own self-importance while the rest of the nation struggles with the crux of everyday life: paying bills.

Evan’s critique struck at the heart of the Democratic lovefest, as she pointed out the glaring absence of any meaningful discussions about the economy. Rather than tackling the real struggles of everyday Americans, the speeches seemed to revolve around an insipid mix of hallmark sentiments—joy, respect, and integrity. She asked the age-old question that rings louder with each passing election season: what does that even mean? Clearly, she was looking for some concrete economic policy instead of vintage campaign slogans that belong in a bygone era.
Harris may have proposed some “harsh penalties” for price gougers in a speech about economic policy—it’s hard to say since she’s been mysteriously absent from sit-down interviews or press conferences since the leadership shakeup. This lack of transparency does not instill confidence, especially for someone who claims to fight against corporate power. The podcaster pointedly observed that the only thing looming over the delegates’ heads that week were corporate donors peering down disdainfully, which likely left them feeling more like peasants at a banquet than participants in a democracy.
Evan’s disillusionment with the Democratic Party was palpable as she walked away from the convention. She had arrived hoping to feel a sense of kinship with the party and its banner carrier, only to leave feeling alienated and questioning her political identity. In her TikTok, she hinted at the possibility that she may not even identify as a Democrat anymore, a sentiment sure to make establishment Democrats shudder in their plush seats. While she didn’t reveal who might earn her support in the future, one thing was clear: Kamala Harris wouldn’t be one of them. If Harris can’t connect with even her own loyalists, it’s going to be a long and bumpy road toward the White House.
