Who represents the Democratic Party in the year of our Lord 2025?

This is the question on many of the greatest minds in the nation these days. There are a myriad of arguments, which, in and of itself denotes no one is leading the pack right now.

Names like Jasmine Crockett, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Zohran Mamdani are being floated in some circles. While each name may carry weight (most likely for their social media buzz more than anything at the moment), the unfortunate truth of the matter for Democrats is the “leader” of their party right now isn’t one person, it is an idea.

Elitism is the head of the Democratic Party. It is what lost them the White House, and what continues to plague them as they flounder to solve the high mystery of the average American voter.

Case in point: Hunter Biden.

The former first son sat down for a bizarre, jittery interview with some Democrat podcaster. The hourslong interview was laden with expletives and rants about party loyalty, but one segment in particular stood out to me as the perfect example of who/what exactly is leading the Democratic Party.

On the subject of illegal immigration, Biden launched into a vulgar rant about all the reasons we need illegal immigrants to stay, and all the reasons our lives would be downright unlivable if we continue on this path:

“People are really upset about illegal immigration? F–k you. How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you have food on your f—king table? Who do you think washes your dishes? What do you think does your f–king garden? Who do you think is here by the f–king sheer f–king just grit and will that they figured out a way to get here because they thought that they could give theirselves and the family a better chance.”

That, my friends, is the true head of the Democratic Party.

Elitism — the idea there is a ruling class and a servant class and the servant class’ most important job in life is providing comfort for the ruling class, and they like it that way because they are just gritty, determined, simple folk who only want simple things for their simple lives.

In Hunter Biden’s world — the Democrats’ elitist world — illegal immigrants (by which Democrats almost exclusively mean “Hispanics”) perform the jobs they can’t imagine deigning to do themselves. They wash our clothes, scrub our toilets and clean our hotel rooms. They tend our gardens and pick our food.

Most Americans count a few nights a year in a hotel room as a rare luxury. To the Bidencrats of the world, clean hotel rooms are a part of every day life, an expected essential of basic living.

Most of us don’t have our own gardens to tend, and those who do attend those humble patches themselves, as a form of therapy or sustenance. Bidencrats have gardens, and they can’t possibly tend those gardens themselves. That is work for the servant class.

I have no data to back this up, but I feel confident in positing that statistically almost every American household takes care of their own dishes. Not the Bidencrats! Dishes are dirty work. They are meant to be eaten from, not scrubbed. Scrubbing is for the people who find great fulfillment in doing manual labor for slave wages.

You won’t find another 30 seconds of content that so beautifully encapsulates the Democrat leadership problem.

They don’t know who we — Americans — are.

They are so cocooned in their upper-crust lifestyles, they think the best argument for keeping around tens of millions of illegal aliens is that all our kitchen staff will disappear.

They can’t even conceive of an electorate that washes their own dishes and changes their own linens and doesn’t have a personal security detail with them at all times.

The Bidencrat says, “These people love to work, so why shouldn’t they be working for me?”

You’ll notice no Democrat ever accuses these people of being dentists or architects.

Ever since Donald Trump broke the Internet on Joe Rogan’s show, Democrats have been breaking their necks trying to replicate that reach.

While they’ve suddenly developed a keen interest in podcasting, they still cannot make the format work for them, and that is because the liberal podcasters have the same problem as the rest of the Bidencrats — they are led by a bad idea.

Everything that springs from the premise of “US and THEM” is, therefore, poisoned fruit.

The fruit of the modern Democratic Party is rotten, born of a tree with disintegrating roots.
