Assange Declares Democrats ‘doomed’ Over Centrist Push

Assange says – Julian Assange said the Democratic Party is “doomed,” arguing party leaders pushed centrism on the base and that Democrats’ focus on Russia has intensified while other narratives failed to gain traction.

Julian Assange used a Sunday post to deliver a blunt verdict on the Democratic Party, saying its leaders have set the party on a path he described as irreversible.

“Democratic Party is doomed. ” he wrote. blaming party leaders for forcing what he called the “politics of centrism” on their base.. He argued that the Democratic establishment has “vortexed the party’s narrative energy into hysteria about Russia. ” even while suggesting Democrats have not managed to expand their standing with voters.

In the post. Assange claimed that the media focus on Russia has consumed so much attention that it has “eclipsed Democrats’ efforts” to regain “the roughly 1. 000 legislative seats it has lost over the past nine years.” He also said Democrats’ vote collapse. in his telling. has happened “at every level. city. state. Congressional and presidential” over “the last eight years.”

Assange added that Democrats have lost “all four of the congressional special elections since January. ” while he said “the predicted surge in Democratic turnout has failed to materialize.” He pointed to a different kind of turnout problem. writing that the races were close because “Republicans had an even worse turnout.”

His argument also returned to internal messaging.. Assange wrote that without what he described as insurgent narratives promoted by Bernie Sanders. Democrats’ establishment would purge those he characterized as electorally incompetent and ideologically outdated.. He stressed that the party’s base and public relationship have depended on competing narratives—writing that the absence of “We didn’t lose — Russia won” would change how elites respond to outcomes.

The post also pressed a different set of accountability questions about the role of leaked materials.. Assange suggested the “obvious comeback” is that he and WikiLeaks “likely played a role in the election outcome” by leaking “hacked Democratic Party emails” that he said were “presumably provided by Russian intelligence. ” either “directly or through an intermediary.”

At the core of his pushback. Assange argued that even if those leaks contributed to election dynamics. the issues he raised remain “valid.” He asked whether it is a problem that the public learned “what Hillary Clinton said to Goldman Sachs” and “what party elites said about fixing the DNC primaries against Bernie Sanders.” He framed the dispute as a choice: “A party elite that maintains that it is the ‘crime of the century’ for the public and their membership to discover how they behave and what they believe invites scorn.”

He ended by calling for a political break, saying the “Democratic base should move to start a new party since the party elite shows no signs that they will give up power.”

The sequence of claims in the post tracks a single thread: Assange ties a party-wide narrative shift—what he describes as “hysteria about Russia”—to vote losses over “the last eight years. ” then links those losses to specific election outcomes since January. including the loss of “all four” congressional special elections and the failure of turnout predictions. before turning to leaked-email arguments and finally urging a new-party move.
