Lindy Li, once a prominent fundraiser for Vice President Kamala Harris, didn’t just break up with the Democratic Party; she tossed a cocktail of accusations and walked out the door with a bag full of juicy claims. With her relationship with the DNC now splashed across the headlines, Li is out to let everyone know that misusing donor funds isn’t just a casual affair for the Democrats, it’s practically a lifestyle choice. After pouring millions into Harris’s lost presidential dream, Li’s disillusionment boiled over when she observed the party’s blatant favoritism towards glitterati like Oprah Winfrey.
According to Li, the Democrats have a penchant for financial recklessness that puts a high school prom budget to shame. She pointed to a staggering $2.5 billion that she claims the party burned through like it was a backyard bonfire, with donors seemingly filling the pit. Raising $1.5 billion for the campaign, plus another $1 billion via the super PAC Future Forward, Li is unimpressed with the party’s lack of accountability. After all, who wouldn’t be outraged to watch that kind of money slip through fingers without a single “thank you, ma’am”?
Former Kamala fundraiser Lindy Li goes medieval on Kamala Harris for lighting donor money “on fire” and wasting it on millionaires and billionaires like Oprah Winfrey.

Several specifics caught Li’s attention as she dug into the Democrats’ spending habits. For instance, she was appalled to learn that Harris’s face got a $450,000 projection on a giant Las Vegas screen, posing the burning question of what that was supposed to accomplish besides making Harris’s bank account look worse. The expenditure on Oprah’s team, to the tune of $2.5 million for a theatrical town hall event, seemed especially troubling for someone who would have gotten out of bed for a fraction of that amount. If Oprah can maintain a cozy billionaire lifestyle, one has to wonder why she couldn’t carry her own production costs and save the party a pretty penny.
Li’s grievances don’t stop there; she threw shade at the timing of a $500,000 payment to Al Sharpton just before he decided to interview Harris. Citing that kind of financial decision as utterly baffling, Li insists she hasn’t met a single donor who doesn’t share her astonishment over the party’s lavish spending choices. Of course, venturing away from the status quo has led Li to experience what she refers to as “public shaming” and “psychological terrorism” from her former allies, proving that moving away from a party can lead to quite the rowdy reception.
Ironically, Li’s break from the DNC seems to open new avenues. She hinted at potential welcome arms from Team Trump, claiming that even a brief chat with them was more comforting and humane than her entire experience with the Democrats. That’s quite the endorsement when it comes to party loyalty. Meanwhile, Harris’s ongoing campaign struggles have left her team knee-deep in debt and casting doubt over party strategies moving forward. While the Dems are taught a lesson in spending, the Republicans appear poised and unified, ready to carry their message into the next election cycle, creating a contrast as stark as Michael Moore at a marathon.
As Kamala Harris gears up for another presidential run, internal squabbles and monetary missteps continue to plague her camp, leading those in the know to wonder just how strong Democratic unity truly is. With ripple effects from Li’s departure signaling deeper rifts, the stage seems set for a showdown between traditional campaign methods and the celebrity-filled circus that has become Democratic strategy. If only they had taken notes from the Republicans, who seem to be building a solid fortress instead of a leaky raft.
