NEW YORK (AP) — Kamala Harris “wrote off rural America” during the 2024 presidential campaign and failed to attack Donald Trump with sufficient “negative firepower,” according to a long-awaited post-election autopsy released on Thursday by the Democratic National Committee.

The committee’s chair, Ken Martin, shared the 192-page report only after facing intense internal pressure from frustrated Democratic operatives concerned with his leadership. Martin had originally promised to release the autopsy, only to keep it under wraps for months because he was concerned it would be a distraction ahead of the midterms as Democrats mobilize to take back control of Congress.

It would have been nice if everyone showed up to vote too

Democrats dismantled one of the most effective GOTV operations in the Midwest because of an obvious psyop by a college drop out.

That was the beginning of a long and miserable series of defeats at every level of government for the next 18 years.

Gotta wonder what you are supposed to think about a party that won't fight for the VRA, won't fight for the courts, won't fight for DC statehood, and won't fight for the wildly popular anti-war and pro-health care policies that they campaigned on.

At the very fucking least, Biden could have delivered on a prosecution of the Trump administration, rather than telling his voters that Trump had done nothing illegal.

    we had a choice put before us

    We did not. Primaries were cancelled and the general was rigged.

    You can bring all kinds of other conjecture

    Nothing about this is conjecture. Dems dismantled the machinery that moved people to the polls. Then they lost. Republicans did the opposite and won.

    Blaming the little old grandma whose mail in ballot never arrived, the freshly minted teenager who was told they couldn't vote on their college campus, and the perennial Dem whose name got purged from the voter rolls - nevermind the million plus voters in DC who have never been enfranchised in the legislature - that they failed to elect a candidate neck deep up Liz Cheney's asshole because they're bad people isn't going to save your party next election any more than it did last time
