Overview
A gripping story of political idealism, disillusionment, and new hope, Nothing Left exposes how the Democratic Party was hijacked by out-of-touch activists, coastal elitists, and powerful special interests. Packed with insider revelations and razor-sharp commentary, Evan Barker takes readers deep inside the machine to show how the party that once championed the working class lost its soul.
Evan Barker had a bright future in Democratic politics. A prodigious fundraiser and relentless operator, Barker raised tens of millions of dollars for Democrat candidates. But in August 2024, standing on the floor of the Democratic National Convention, Barker hit her breaking point. In that moment, she saw what no one inside the party dared admit: the Democrats had lost their way, and there was no path back.
Born into a union family in the Kansas City heartland with a rare genetic lung disease, Barker lived and breathed Democrat. The Democratic Party, she believed, was built to help people like her. But as she rose through the ranks, she saw a movement obsessed with moral posturing and identity politics rather than with the struggles of ordinary Americans. And when she spoke up, she became a target herself.
Pulling back the curtain on the world of donors, strategists, politicians, and activists that runs the party, Nothing Left is a blistering, behind-the-scenes look at the party’s transformation from working-class champion to elite echo chamber. Candid, fearless, and impossible to put down, it’s essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how American politics really works.
