Politico was thoroughly ridiculed after publishing an article portraying the Democrats as “united” and a “party lacking drama” as the DNC kicks off in Chicago Monday.
“Democrats arrive in Chicago as a party lacking drama. They are disciplined, orderly and united around VP Kamala Harris and, more to the point, thwarting former President Donald Trump’s restoration,” the outlet wrote on X with its accompanying editorial.

The Pravda-level propaganda was roundly mocked on X, with users noting the reality is the complete opposite of a “lack of drama”: hundreds of thousands of pro-Palestine protesters have surrounded the DNC building, nearly every session of the event so far has been disrupted, and the Democrat Party replaced Joe Biden with Kamala Harris in an internal coup only weeks ago.
Lacking drama? Did you miss all of what happened last night?
Pathetic propaganda slime. https://t.co/SIQBCdHzdY

Your propaganda is getting so much worse each and every day. My goodness, have you no shame whatsoever?

Drama? Seriously? You've got half of your party in the streets. Every session of the convention so far has been disrupted. The convention hotels were targeted last night with loud noises designed to keep the delegates up. I guess the Chicago convention is 'mostly' joyous?

How can so many words be so wrong in a single headline.

There was a coup to install Kamala, and as of last night, thousands of pro Hamas "protestors" are going to wreak havoc on the city Chicago. Journalism. lol.

They literally started a coup to oust a sitting President bc his poll numbers, not bc he has dementia like symptoms. If Republicans did this shit, the media and Dems would be screaming with their hair on fire that democracy is dying, blah blah blah.

The event is reportedly so drama-free that Joe and Jill Biden won’t even attend Kamala’s nomination speech this week and will leave the event later today.

At one point Politico even spun the Democrat Party’s ouster of Joe Biden last month as proof the party is united, claiming non-MAGA Republicans are jealous they can’t pull off a similar coup against Trump.
“It doesn’t take the analytical powers of Freud to assess why so many Republicans are furious or just plain frustrated at the Democrats’ switch and are taking it out on the media: The non-MAGA Republicans only wish they could pull off what their opposition did last month,” the outlet claimed.
“But the Democrats have become what Republicans once were, brutally efficient, on-message, establishment-driven and singularly committed to winning general elections.”
This is just another example of Politico blatantly running cover for their masters in the Democrat Party.
