Former MSNBC host Joy Reid lashed out at the Democratic Party over taking its voters for granted, blasting it for what she sees as exploiting the loyalty of constituents who are treated like the hired help.<\/p>\n

The race-baiting hate monger tore into the party amid the current groundswell of anti-incumbent sentiment that has boosted far-left socialist candidates in recent primaries, rejecting the idea to \u201cVote Blue No Matter Who\u201d because politicians consistently fail to deliver on their promises.<\/p>\n

Reid went off during Sunday\u2019s edition of \u201cThe Joy Reid Show,\u201d her YouTube podcast, scolding the party for demanding obedience from its supporters while selling them out for pennies on the dollar.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re treating us like we\u2019re obligated to obey you,\u201d she ranted. \u201cYou want obedience, not passion. Obedience, first of all, we ain\u2019t giving you obedience, because you\u2019ve not obeyed us,\u201d complaining that the party elite acts like voters are \u201cemployees.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the examples of betrayal of the base singled out by Reid was the \u201cBuild Back Better\u201d schemes that were the centerpiece of former President Joe Biden\u2019s domestic agenda. She said that while much of the legislation was advertised as help for \u201cordinary\u201d people with subsidized daycare and other freebies, it was \u201csabotaged\u201d by moderate former Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), which Reid cites as proof of the party\u2019s disregard for its voters.<\/p>\n

The self-proclaimed \u201cliberated Democrat\u201d also castigated the party for its shortage of \u201cfighters\u201d cut from the same cloth as New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, an unrepentant socialist who has been crowned as a \u201ckingmaker\u201d after candidates that he backed swept the New York City primaries last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe leaders are supposed to be obedient to the people, not the other way around,\u201d she declared. \u201cYa\u2019ll want obedience, you don\u2019t want our passion. You want our obedience, you want us to obey you. We should not obey.\u201d<\/p>\n

An overflowing fountain of outrage, Reid may no longer have a cable TV platform but still appeals to the zanies and dead-enders with her caustic takes on President Trump, the GOP, Israel and traditional America, all served up with a generous dollop of the racism that\u2019s been her stock in trade since the MSNBC days.<\/p>\n

In one tirade last month, \u201cthe race lady\u201d spewed her venom over the Fourth of July, falsely linking the celebration of America\u2019s birthday to \u2013 you guessed it \u2013 slavery.<\/p>\n

Joy Reid: \u201cNobody black I know is really excited about the 4th of July.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the celebration of slaveholders who freed themselves from having to pay taxes to the Crown for their slave empire.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn many ways, and with apologies to my spicy white friends, because I know that my white brothers and sisters do love a Fourth of July. It is Independence Day, everybody\u2019s barbecuing, it\u2019s a thing,\u201d Reid ranted last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can promise you, black folks, we will take that day off. We will barbecue because we off. But black people \u2013 Nobody black I know is really excited about the 4th of July, because it is exactly what Frederick Douglass said it is, it is the celebration of slaveholders who freed themselves from having to pay taxes to the Crown for their slave empire, and that is what it is,\u201d she proclaimed.<\/p>\n
