Ava Disillusioned
June 06, 2025Disappointment in Blue: Unrealized Expectations
I joined the Yale College Democrats with high hopes of creating tangible change in New Haven and beyond. Unfortunately, my experience was marred by disorganization, lack of transparency, and an overwhelming sense of cliquishness. Despite their touted commitment to diversity and inclusivity, I found it challenging to break into the inner circle, and my ideas were often dismissed or ignored. The initiatives, while well-intentioned, seemed to prioritize publicity over actual progress. I attended several events, including a voter registration drive, but was underwhelmed by the lack of follow-through and inadequate resources. The organization's emphasis on sending emails and hosting events felt like a numbers game rather than a genuine effort to engage with the community. I had expected a more nuanced approach to advocacy, one that acknowledged the complexities of the issues we were tackling. Instead, I encountered a simplistic, us-versus-them mentality that alienated potential allies and undermined our credibility. Perhaps most disappointingly, the Yale College Democrats seemed more focused on launching the careers of their members than on serving the community. I left feeling disillusioned and questioning the true impact of their efforts. As someone who genuinely cares about progressive change, it's heartbreaking to see an organization with such potential squandered by internal politics and superficial activism.
