Ex-Democrat Says Trump Team More 'Humane' to Her Than DNC

Prominent Democratic National Committee (DNC) fundraiser Lindy Li has announced her departure from the Democratic Party, citing a toxic internal culture and backlash over her critiques of Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden.
In a series of media appearances, Li has claimed that allies of Donald Trump have been more "humane" to her than her former party.

Li likened her exit to "leaving a cult," sparking debate about dissent within the party. Her departure follows a series of events in which she questioned Vice President Kamala Harris's political ambitions and President Joe Biden's fitness for office. She also voiced support for Donald Trump's defense secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth.
These statements triggered significant backlash, including accusations of disloyalty and social media campaigns to discredit her. Li reported losing 40,000 followers on social media within days.
