Glass Joe but instead of telegraphing all his weak-ass punches he's poorly hiding the giant box labeled pro-genocide campaign ideas
Am I reading this right that the purported reason for reneging on the promise to release it after completion is that the staffer assigned to write it totally half-assed it and refused to give sources for data and some of the data was verifiably wrong?
They edited their own comments/corrections into the report. Great stuff here:
edit: oh my god I love this
Great to see the liberal memory holeing of Biden's entire term is happening even at the highest levels.
That conclusion part is modern poetry 
, although I do admit it's a bit on the nose
Holy shit, no wonder they wanted to keep this under wraps. This is lazier than what I'd expect from a high school senior with senioritis. How embarrassing.
Does it basically say "voters are stupid, and we weren't racist or sexist enough"?
Why, yes.
p. 32: "Male voters require direct engagement. The gender gap can be narrowed. Deploy male messengers, address economic concerns, and don't assume identity politics will hold male voters of color."
p. 8: "Winning Anywhere means providing for a renewed focus on the voters of Middle America and the South, who have come to believe they are not included in the Democratic vision of a stronger and more dynamic America for everyone. Millions of Americans are suffering from poor access to healthcare, manufacturing and job losses, and a failing infrastructure, yet continue to be persuaded to vote against their best interests because they do not see themselves reflected in the America of the Democratic Party."
I suppose they're correct in that analysis if you narrow in "voter" to mean "person who was split between which party to vote for, but. they're definitely going to vote no matter what and also they do not care about foreign policy or most domestic policy" which I suppose at this point is more or less whatever remains of their electorate
A fake release of an early draft that refuses to say anything? Is this the Democrats' version of oil price manipulation, but lazier?
If this is all they got, how much did they pay for it?
If they didn't pay... why not? Seems important to assess where you went wrong, and if you have to pay to get a decent report on that, it's worth it.
1 billion dollars 
Seems unfinished and lacking specifics. Gotta love the annotations.
"Trump fucking plastered us"
^^^^ SOURCE??!?!?
Just fantastic analysis here. Love the Redditisms and corporate nonsense language. There's some genuine nuggets of truth about how the party needs to actually represent the people and not just the rich that I'm sure they'll pretend they didn't see. This is the most milquetoast analysis of their failures and you can still feel their seething petulance to every page.
Edit: God damn this is just terrible. Why wouldn't you finish this before releasing it? Ken Martin and the DNC thinks the pressure will be off now? They look like total fucking idiots.
Tldr; be more conservative

no matches for "israel", "gaza", "genocide", or "palestine"
That's a lot of talk about misinformation for a document full of marginal comments reading "THIS CLAIM IS CONTRADICTED BY PUBLIC DATA"
I was prepared to be very angry about the lack of Gaza mentions but this document barely mentions anything policy-related, it seems. It's the typical boilerplate about needing to connect more with Middle America and the Heartland and, presumably, the common clay of the New West.
Also no mention of socialism, and the only mention of climate change is to claim that “Climate change and green energy transition messaging created anxiety among workers in traditional industries worried about job losses.” That in a section that was marked up for lacking sourcing/evidence.
oh no all my sacred, family oil jobs are going to be destroyed and its absolutely impossible to reskill for 50 states of solar jobs because a handful of texas oil jobs are in my DNA.
You don’t understand, getting black lung by the time i’m in my 30’s is an integral part of my culture!
as been foretold.
Of course, self reflection is impossible for this lot.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
