On Sunday, a young woman who goes by “Evan” shared her views on the Democratic National Convention in Chicago (DNC) via TikTok, noting disappointment with the limited information provided about the Democratic nominee while being critical of her party for overlooking issues that affect everyday Americans, regardless of their political affiliation.

She began by stating that she had “worked in progressive politics for a long time” and that “as the years have gone by, I found myself getting more and more disillusioned with the Democratic party.” She went on to say that most of her work has been fundraising. Evan also talked about candidates spending eight or more hours a day “calling donors and asking rich people for money.” She conceded that even politicians who don’t like part of politics “still have to play the game.”

She then turned her ire toward the Democratic Party.

“When I first got into politics, I thought that Democrats were the party of the people. And at the DNC this week, I felt like I was in a building with the most elite and out of touch people in the entire world. It very much felt like, ‘Let’s just have a huge party and forget all of our problems because the vibes are brat,” Evan said.

She went on to note that, as a midwestern from Kansas City, Mo.: “I didn’t feel any connection to Real America or the place that I come from. I didn’t feel any connection to the people I know right now who are struggling to buy their groceries or to pay their rent.”

Others are effectively homeless as they are forced to live with friends and relatives because they cannot afford their own homes.

She says she began to get mad because as she listened to speeches, she heard no substance, just “generic platitudes like joy and respect and integrity.”

Evan then said she thought Democrats were the “anti-war party” and was a bit surprised by Kamala Harris declaring that “America always has the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world.” She added, “I thought I was part of the party that fought for the underdog, that championed working people. When and how did we just become the party of academia and affluence?”

However, perhaps the most impactful portion of the video is when Evan says that she attended the DNC “hoping I would feel reconnected to the Democrat party,” hoping she would “understand Kamala’s candidacy and what she stood for, but instead, I ended up feeling the opposite, more disconnected and alone than ever.”

She concluded by saying that not only will she not be supporting Kamala Harris, but she is not sure she can even call herself a Democrat anymore.
