Ex-Dem fundraiser says she had ‘no choice’ but to leave DNC as skepticism swirls
Lindy Li, a former Democrat fundraiser and political strategist, recently made headlines for her decision to leave the Democratic Party, citing personal attacks and a lack of accountability within the party leadership. In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Li revealed that her departure from the party was not planned, but rather a result of feeling like she had no choice but to leave what she referred to as a \”cult.\”
According to Li, her decision to leave the Democratic Party stemmed from a decade-long progression of realizing that the party’s values no longer aligned with her own. She expressed concerns about issues such as open borders, woke culture, and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, which she felt contradicted her beliefs. Despite the difficulty of leaving a party she had been actively involved in, Li felt that she could no longer support the Democratic Party in good conscience.
Li’s departure from the party was met with criticism and ostracization, particularly after she publicly criticized then-Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris. Li explained that as a surrogate for the Harris campaign, she felt a responsibility to see the campaign through, even if she did not personally support the candidate. However, after facing personal attacks and a lack of accountability for the party’s spending, Li ultimately made the decision to leave the Democratic Party.
In response to questions raised by Piers Morgan about her voting record, Li clarified that while she did not vote for Harris in the 2024 election, she had refrained from disclosing this information during the campaign to avoid hurting Harris’s chances. Li emphasized that she did not leave the party voluntarily, but rather felt pushed out for asking for accountability and transparency.
Since leaving the Democratic Party, Li has shifted her focus to fundraising for the GOP in preparation for the 2026 midterms. She expressed her frustration with the Democratic Party’s response to her departure, noting that instead of addressing the facts, they chose to attack her personally. Despite facing backlash for her decision, Li remains steadfast in her belief that leaving the Democratic Party was the right choice for her.
As Li embarks on a new chapter in her political journey, she hopes to continue advocating for the values that align with her beliefs and principles. Her story serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges individuals may face when navigating political affiliations and standing up for what they believe in.
