We need to remake the Democratic party. We need to remake America.
Al Gore
I do believe the Democratic party has moved far to the right. I do believe that the party has a bunch of elephants running around in donkey clothes.
Al Sharpton
I think extremists within the base may very well move the Democratic party away from its pro-Israel position.
Alan Dershowitz
The goal isn't, and shouldn't be, to block Hillary Clinton. The goal is to make sure a potential President Clinton is beholden to a better Congress and a better Democratic Party.
Alex Pareene
I was indoctrinated into a Democratic Party cult from a very early age. But I know that's not the only America and we need to understand the other side.
Alexandra C. Pelosi
What I see is that the Democratic Party takes working class communities for granted, they take people of color for granted, and they just assume that we're going to turn out no matter how bland or half-stepping these proposals are.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
The way the Queens Democratic party machine has worked, they operate on a politics of exclusion.
In a democratic party, where internal democracy is alive, there are bound to be different views.

I mean, the Democratic Party is the party of young people.
When it comes to the Democratic party, all you need to do is look at the ideology of Millennials.

We don't hand anyone anything in the Democratic Party.
Andrew Cuomo
I ran as a Democrat. I am a Democrat. And, frankly, the values that I hold, I think, are consistent with the values of the Democratic Party. In fact, I think they are the values shared by the majority of Floridians.
Andrew Gillum
Admittedly, no Republican can get elected statewide in California anymore, but nor can what we think of as, nationally, the Democratic Party. There are no Joe Bidens running; it is not working-class Democrats vs. liberal Democrats, or whatever their division is these days. It is Hispanic Democrats vs. Asian Democrats.
Ann Coulter
While it is important that black women begin to receive the accolades and assistance they are due from the Democratic Party, they cannot be expected to continue to save white people from the poor choices they make - based not on moral values but party affiliation.
Anthea Butler
Navigating a battle between partisan, progressive organizing and decentralized petition drives is, at bottom, like trying to choose between the Democratic Party and democracy. The ideas are on different planes.
Ari Melber
As the Republican Party has moved farther and farther to the right, I have found myself increasingly at odds with the Republican philosophy and more in line with the philosophy of the Democratic Party.
Call me, and I'd do anything for the Democratic Party.

Throughout out history, when people have looked for new ways to solve their problems, and to uphold the principles of this nation, many times they have turned to political parties. They have often turned to the Democratic Party.
All these years, they've been giving lip service to saying that we are a party that is inclusive instead of exclusive. We've said the Democratic Party has a great big umbrella, and everybody can be comfortable under that umbrella. If they didn't mean it, then it ought to be pulled apart.
I want to ensure that the Democratic Party moves in a more progressive direction, substantively and message-wise. And goes out and reaches people all over this country.

The Democratic Party tends to have this hypereducated ruling-class mentality, and we need to realize that's not making us connect with a lot of voters.
You can make an argument that Bill O'Reilly is a conservative or a Republican. Bill's kind of unpredictable. Somebody might say that he would have been comfortable in the Democratic Party of Scoop Jackson.
I've completely lost faith in the Democratic Party to truly serve the disadvantaged.
Why has the Democratic Party become so arrogantly detached from ordinary Americans? Though they claim to speak for the poor and dispossessed, Democrats have increasingly become the party of an upper-middle-class professional elite, top-heavy with journalists, academics and lawyers.
Liberal elites and Democratic Party elders want all Hispanics to fall into a monolithic liberal agenda.

Half a century ago, Ronald Reagan, the man whose relentless optimism inspired me to enter politics, famously said that he didn't leave the Democratic Party; the party left him. I can certainly relate. I didn't leave the Republican Party; it left me.
