曾在2024年大选期间就时任总统乔·拜登的身体状况衰退发出警告却未被理睬，随后退出民主党的前民主党筹款人林迪·李表示，民主党领导层的真空状态助长了民主社会主义者组织在2026年的一系列胜利。
“他们是正在扩散的癌症，”李在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时说道。
“我从一开始就有俯瞰全局的视角，你知道，[见证了]民主社会主义者组织的崛起——权力厌恶真空。他们只是在填补真空。那里空无一人。”
据李透露，多年来民主社会主义者组织一直在施压候选人将竞选纲领进一步向左推，她表示自己在2018年亲自参选国会时就经历过这一过程。李将于今年晚些时候出版新书《卸下重担》（Unburdened），她认为这是民主社会主义者组织和社会主义者在2026年成为民主党内部不可忽视的力量的众多层面之一。

在她的个人经历中，民主社会主义者组织的施压方式是发放调查问卷。
“这些充斥在民主社会主义者组织里的‘受过过度教育的废物’——他们就是这样的人——基本上是通过递给我一份调查问卷，说‘这场国会竞选的所有人都必须填写这份问卷’，迫使我采纳他们的纲领，”李回忆道。
李表示，在2018年那个时候，她觉得自己别无选择，只能填写表格，也没指望自己的回答会被当真。当时她正在竞选宾夕法尼亚州第五国会选区的席位。
“他们就是这么做的。我不知道美国人是否熟悉这种做法，但这就是他们强制合规的方式：他们递给你这些候选人调查问卷，你填完后，你的名字就永远和这些内容绑定在一起了。这些内容甚至出现在了我的维基百科页面上。现在我的维基百科页面上把我描绘成一个环保狂、支持大麻什么的。我从来没说过那些话。他们就是直接从调查问卷里抄的，”李说。
她回忆称，该选区的其他候选人也填写了这份问卷。

当被问及是否对更多民主社会主义者组织的候选人在对阵现任议员的选举中取得成功感到惊讶时，李指出了建制派的现状，以及其资深人士明显缺乏动力。
“想想看，在2006年的选举周期中，这个时候我们已经知道可能的候选人是谁了：巴拉克·奥巴马或希拉里·克林顿，”李说。
“巴拉克·奥巴马已经发表了他那篇‘没有蓝州，没有红州，只有美利坚合众国’的演讲。我们知道他会成为总统候选人。这次的候选人是谁？我们不知道。”
李还将矛头指向了民主党主席肯·马丁。在她看来，对比之下民主社会主义者组织显得更加强大。
“我们需要一位令人难忘、充满活力、干劲十足的民主党领导人，能够向美国民众提出有说服力的论点。相反，我们有这么一个平庸之辈，没人记得住他。”
“别忘了，民主党现在穷到把自己的总部拿去抵押来贷款。他们没钱了。肯·马丁就是个笑话，”她补充道。
福克斯新闻数字频道7月的报道证实，根据公开记录，美国民主党全国委员会（DNC）用其办公楼作为担保获得了1500万美元的贷款。虽然贷款基本协议金额为1500万美元，但以办公楼作为担保让该委员会可以额外提取500万美元。竞选财务记录显示，截至6月30日，民主党全国委员会累计债务已近1850万美元。

“我在2020年做过一部福克斯新闻的纪录片，警告人们警惕民主社会主义者组织；我没开玩笑。真的，这些人长期以来一直极具破坏性，”李说。

Ex-Dem fundraiser traces socialist surge to Biden-era leadership vacuum: ‘There’s no one there’

Former Democrat operative reveals DSA playbook to push candidates farther left

Lindy Li, a former Democratic fundraiser who left the party after her warnings about then-President Joe Biden’s decline went unheeded during the 2024 campaign, says Democrats’ leadership vacuum has helped fuel the Democratic Socialists of America’s string of victories in 2026.
“They’re a metastasizing cancer,” Li told Fox News Digital in an interview.
“I had a bird’s-eye view from the beginning, you know, [to] the ascent of the DSA — power abhors a vacuum. They’re simply filling a vacuum. There’s no one there.”
According to Li, the DSA has pressured candidates for years to push their platforms further and further left — a process she said she experienced firsthand when, in 2018, she tried to run for Congress herself. Li, who is publishing a new book titled “Unburdened” later this year, believes it’s one of the many layers of how the DSA and socialists have emerged as a force to be reckoned with within the Democratic Party in 2026.

In her own experience, the DSA’s pressure came in the form of a questionnaire.
“These over-educated bums, which populated the DSA — that’s what they are — basically forced me to adopt its platform by handing me a questionnaire and saying, ‘everyone in this congressional race must fill out this questionnaire,’” Li recalled.
At the time, in 2018, Li said she felt like she didn’t have a choice but to fill out the form and didn’t expect the answers to stick with her. She was running for Pennsylvania’s 5th Congressional District.
“That’s what they do. I don’t know if Americans are familiar with that, but that’s how they enforce compliance. They hand you these candidate questionnaires, you fill it out, and so your name is forever attached. It even made it to my Wikipedia page. So now on my Wikipedia page it has me as some tree-hugging, marijuana-supporting whatever. I said none of that. They just grabbed it from the questionnaire,” Li said.
She recalled that other candidates in the field also filled out the form.

When asked if she was surprised that more DSA candidates had enjoyed success even against incumbent opponents, Li pointed to the state of the establishment and a clear lack of momentum among its more veteran figures.
“Think about it, at this point in time, in the election cycle, in 2006, we knew who the candidate was likely going to be, Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton,” Li said.
“Barack Obama had already given his ‘There’s no blue state, there’s no red state, there’s only United States of America’ speech. We knew he was gonna be a presidential candidate. Who’s the candidate this time? We don’t know.”
Li also pointed an accusatory finger at Ken Martin, the chair of the Democratic Party. In her view, the DSA looks stronger in light of its competition.
“We need a Democratic leader who is unforgettable, dynamic, vigorous, who can launch a compelling argument to the American people. Instead, we have this milquetoast man, who nobody remembers.”
“Keep in mind that the Democratic Party right now is so broke they put up their own headquarters up as collateral because they took out a loan. They’re broke. They have no money. Ken Martin is a joke,” she added.
Reporting from Fox News Digital confirmed in July that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) used its building to secure a $15 million loan, according to public records. Although the base agreement of the loan is for $15 million, the inclusion of the building allows the group to withdraw an extra $5 million. The DNC also has accumulated almost $18.5 million in debt as of June 30, campaign finance records show.

Although she now considers herself a conservative, Li noted that, even in her time as a Democrat, she had sounded the alarm about the DSA, believing they were eating the party from the inside out.

“I did a Fox News documentary in 2020 warning against the DSA; I kid you not. I kid you not, these people have been poisonous for a very long time,” Li said.
