DNC publishes 2024 autopsy report, Ken Martin apologizes

Nick Lowe48

I'm of the belief that it's not just Gaza. What the report would show is the base hates the democrats top three funders. Israel, Wall Street and Crypto. The DNC doesn't want to give up the money so they buried the report

northstar21

No mention of centrist either, which is a big part of the DNC "philosophy".

steviebaby🫡17

watch to see which "independent progressive pundits" all pretend there's nothing to see here and that it's just too difficult to parse what happened.

𝕸𝖔𝖑𝖑𝖆𝖌𝖚𝖘 𝕴𝖓𝖛𝖎𝖈𝖙𝖚𝖘 🌶16

They don't have to mention it. It was way too obvious that October 7 and onwards was poorly handled by Biden Administration and no way, could Harris overcome that. Some would say it was by design.

David Dinar10

Malpractice that it didn’t cover anything on Gaza / Israel / Palestine. I also didn’t learn anything new about what went wrong in 2024 that I didn’t already know.

Dumpster Fire Resident9

I’d like to quickly note that Project 2025 was already a month into planning by this time under Biden, and now the opposition party can’t even say how they fucked up, nevermind plan a vision forward should they ever retake power. Everything is so thoroughly cooked.

Shroomington Bixby9

Had they stuck with the Weird label and acknowledged the genocide in Palestine, we'd likely have President Harris. Too bad we're fucked the rest of our lives, facing horrific years ahead at the very least. I hate this timeline; revolution is the only way forward

MisterMcBolt8

The only real conclusions to be drawn are that all of the GOP and DNC office-holders should be considered unfit for office until each individually proves otherwise. These people don’t represent their voters, citizens in general, or humanity at large. They are demonstrably harmful and dangerous.

nobody likes to lose more than u guys huh lol @democrats.org

Sy Oppington, fellow poster6

Never seen a group of people so willfully resistant to learning new information, and I taught intro statistics to non-majors. 🙄

Bean, the Malkavian -- Anti-FishMalk5

192 pages of fluff. No Conclusion, no Appendices, no real Table of Contents. Lots of talk about how much money they spent.🙄 $1Bn more than the GOP.💢 Lots of talk about 2020 and the failed insurrection, which had nothing to do with the DNC's 2024 campaign.

Call me Trixie4

Nobody wants to work anymore. Seriously. That's why the fascists win. They are willing to work a few hours a day and the Democrats are apparently not.

Jim Sontag 🇨🇦 🇳🇱 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 4

Zionism is a hell of a drug, man.

Kyle Hogan4

Literally took the time to scrub Gaza but still released it as an unfinished mess

Brandi in Occupied Minnesota3

So it's another giant waste of donor money.

TinyBabyPeople3

So, edited or just out right omission?

Jamie Dyer3

Reality has no place in the Duopoly.

The South must be brought to heel, AGAIN. It is time.3

The media will report on this document like it's a blazing wildfire while ignoring Trump's blatant crimes against America. Mainstream media is in the tank for Trump and his crime spree.

Geoff3

Does it argue to move more to the center, hire more consultants and visit more diners full of white small business owners

Stephanie🇨🇦3

More abject failure to be honest or to meet the moment of their inhumanity.

Vandystar73

We left the party over this kind of useless behavior. Pretending to be relevant is not the same as being relevant. “Fight” rhetoric is not the same as virtuous effort.

Brad Johnson2

zero mentions of just about anything. The DNC Playbook has a lot more research and insight, interviews, etc. (though avoids foreign policy etc)

end op·pres·sion2

yet activists from the IMEU Policy Project told the DNC that the Biden-Harris administration's support for Israel was a factor in the party's losses because it drained support from some young people and progressives.

David Osnoe (🇺🇸)2

This won’t help with the reputation of being “disconnected from the reality of everyday Americans” that dems have been diligently fighting. Avg folks like me see the results of inaction on Palestine everyday on social media. We also see the videos of Israel abusing the Gaza flotilla activists.

RW2

- Ken Martin doesn’t meet my standards and he should step down for the complete sh*t show that the DNC currently is…

The Beautiful Midnight2

I've written last minute papers in college better than this. Also I would have been hungover.

PJ2

There’s not even an executive summary of this crappy 192 page report. Did AI write this?

Falken's Maze2

Seems strange that they wouldn't even mention how they assessed if these were contributing factors.

Leave Omelas2

It absolutely was a core issue, but it's wild that they didn't even mention it to refute it

TomateJoe Free 🇵🇸2

Judge rules half the universe spontaneously combusted. Thanos innocent on all charges.

D. Earl Stephens62

The dysfunctional DNC is a major problem for the party, not the answer.

JustMeJoePdx21

Harris didn't build an affirmative case? She talked about an opportunity economy, sweeping middle class tax cuts, subsidies for first time home buyers and a $50k grant program for actual small businesses to get off the ground. How much do you have to spoon feed people if they can't see the diff?

John Zande14

As an Australian, let me give you my autopsy: Stop with all the celebrity bullshit.

corruption47.bsky.social13

I actually don't care. She had 100 days. This country is racist as fuck. Elon fiddled with the outcomes. Trump is a liar. All I need to know is right out in the open. Should she have taken a different position on X, Y or Z? Only if she was going to lie like the Orangeatang lies.

Meidas Sassy™ 🐬11

It's.. well.. more like a concept of a report.. 😏 😅

Keith Snyder9

I only skimmed it, and went "This is somebody who fucked up the assignment, felt ashamed, and turned it in anyway."

McBean7

Kamala campaigned her ASS off while the orange dotard golfed, had dismal rally attendance and the help of Elmo. She was on FIRE - excellent attendance at rallies and wind in her sails. F-ck whoever wrote this piece of garbage. And why release this shit? Get your house in order DNC.

Tammy E 🦋6

I'm going to pass on this read.

Coko6

I read it for you Christopher 💙 Besides the highlights below, it also talks about VP Harris not distancing herself enough from Biden and not saying more against Netanyahu, causing her to lose the vote of Arab Americans - which in effect, caused her to lose Michigan... The highlights:

LoLo5

DNC & mainstream Dems are part of what got us here; Schumer and Jeffries keep working the same shtick that didn't work then and doesn't work now. They refuse to budge from the same theory and rhetoric that got us here. The DNC, Dems & Kamala Harris should take the results into consideration.

CarrieT 🗽 ⚖️ 🇺🇸 🐶 📚 🛩 🌏 🐘 🗳 ⛩️ 😆 🎶 🪙 🤷‍♀️4

I heard Ken Martin interviewed on Pod Save America. He is an angry, defensive dickwad. He belongs nowhere near leadership.

Circumspectral4

Still asking why they insist on an either/or framing. Why not highlight BOTH Trump’s negatives AND a positive Dem platform in tandem. The DNC seems to consistently underestimate the intelligence of its voters, to the point of insult.

K. Moore 🦋📚🎼3

Is it mandatory that election autopsy reports be done? i know it isn’t but it sure feels that way, little good comes of them anyway. Who reads them? It‘s been a year and half after the elections in 2024.

Michigan Jill3

I think treating progressives like "the problem" feels like it was a big deal. And Biden, bless him, should have stepped down much sooner so a real, full primary could have happened. I think Kamala did a good job given the strictures the party put on her platform & the short time period she had.

McBean3

Another example of the DNC shooting themselves in the foot. Do ya think the RNC would release this shit???

Bill Walter3

Really it was the lying, cheating, disinformation, and psychological ops. If voters aren't smarter this time, they'll fall for the same things again. www.theverge.com/2024/11/5/24... www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

The Democrats have a hard time getting their message to the voters. They need to start saturating the communities with their presence. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/05/the-...

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES NOW3

I have started donating to the candidates and not the DNC, they have failed me and many others.

Lu 💙2

Personally I’m not impressed with Martin

annathevagabond.bsky.social2

Total insider baseball. Average people simply don't care about this sort of thing, esp given the circumstances in our country right now. But of course media and a lot of online accounts love the chance to scream Dems in disarray.

Noni Mouse2

Trying to run a centrist campaign against a lying fascist while also adhering to what worked 20 years ago. Bringing an endorsement from Liz Cheney, does absolutely nothing to fire up your base.

It’s BS we all already know what happened. This country especially women were not going to vote for Harris. That’s it it’s not hard

Diana Lucifera 🌟2

I can't take any journalism seriously anymore this is pathetic.

James B2

The only realistic expectation for Democrats is to fully understand that small town, rural America is totally hooked into the Fox News/GOP propaganda. It is a team that plays the team game. Democrats have to reshape their perspective to break that bond and win these people over, not write them off.

Charlotte Clymer41

And didn't even have an actual conclusion in the draft! Numerous sections missing, weak actual points, and all awash in a bunch of filler.

Aaron Huertas14

Some of the reporting says a close colleague offered to do it on a part time volunteer basis, which is worse. Parts of the text get at Dems being too Spock-like and the right wing media, so it’s not a centrism rocks report imo.

Benjamin Willard, River Guide3

Many were appalled when Martin was elected and he proved us all right. He’s been consistently terrible and the DNC is shambolic. Wikler may not have been perfect but he’d have been miles better.

The cool clear water🏞️2

Don't worry...the consultants will still get paid

Jay Bryant10

"combative centrism" is handily the most annoying oxymoron I've heard in many years. It's ight up there with "compassionate conservatism."

Bucket Mouse7

It's because centrist organizations are also fabulously incompetent and shouldn't be trusted They feel a kinship to this kind of reporting

Maggie Rowe5

One comment made about Tues GA elections was that, since there was no party affiliation next to ballot names & no phones were allowed to check, ppl did not know which candidates aligned w/their positions, so guessed. Dems need to assume nothing is known & work harder at candidate party recognition.

n8stevens.bsky.social5

He’s describing diet MAGA. And we ain’t doin that. Boy bye!

dear Abbie4

when "people" state "center" vs "left", I don't even know what they mean. Like what EXACTLY is left? Is that single payer health insurance? The VRA? Reproductive rights? LGBTQ rights? Climate? Tax tf out of billionaires?

Aimee Knupsky, PhD4

Who the F wrote this and have they come out of their cave in the past 5 years??

Beatrice Sexton3

They haven't had time to read the report, but they already drawn conclusions. Please.

uosdɯᴉS ɐuɐꓷ 🦄42

Yeah, leftists constantly assert it to me as fact. That Harris lost because of Gaza. I never found it believable.

The discourse is broken32

It’s been almost two years, and I still don’t know what position on Gaza people were demanding of Harris. I do know it was among the lowest interest issues in exit polling.

Benwest50020

For anyone reading this, there was quality issues salience polling done on Gaza and it never made the top 10 issues for voters. Instead, leftists shared bogus polling on the issue, with The classic, are you more or less likely to vote Qs, which are meaningless

Miss Aja16

That’s exactly why they didn’t want to release it.

estherp.bsky.social15

I think a lot of people don't want to vote for a woman, especially a Black woman. And I think we have *a lot* of low or no information voters who knew little to nothing about Harris but fell for Trump's performance and cast their ballot based on vibes.

Fred13

Well, it's indisputable the Gaza crowd helped Trump and did what exactly what Netanyahu wanted. That said, I never saw any conclusive evidence that they were the deciding factor in the 2024 election.

Peter3

“We investigated ourselves and found no evidence of wrongdoing” isn’t very convincing

Goth Rat Summer2

I assumed it would make the DNC look bad and/or was a bad/poorly-done report, but should be released because in its absence people can infer whatever they want. It's embarrassing for Dems and the DNC but hardly the conspiratory document people would love it to be.

Sam2

Okay, who gives a shit? Biden/Harris’ bloodthirsty Gaza policy was a huge liability, and since then America’s (and especially the Dem base’s) perception of Israel has only gotten worse. The Israeli government Kamala repeatedly defended is the same one currently warmongering alongside Trump.

Howard ✡🟦🎗25

I kid you not - a leftist claimed the report was 'written by (((A I P A C))))

Thomas Knapp (chemiclord)24

You mean the same autopsy that Dems said they didn't want to release BECAUSE it was a poorly done mess that they couldn't learn anything from?

EthanObama17

The people who wanted to see the autopsy report didn't want it for constructive crizicism. They wanted it so they could bash Democrats over the head with it.

Anti-Sabotage Operations Group7

Remember, anything that doesn't actively Hamas win their war isn't progressive! /s

Bird Nerd Loves Her Dad Bird🌈4

Gestalt? Well, fuck them, then.

realsense.bsky.social3

Yes this is WAAAAAAY down the list. To me it's pretty much like losing a game. The coach rarely says they stunk. Or blame it on one person. They say things like "we'll look at the tape, and be ready next game". But everyone can see why they lost, and what player(s) didn't perform, just like

Alexandra 🍸🍸2

Yep. I laughed at this.🍸

Excalibur Discount Legal Services4

They alienated a significant portion of their base with how they handled Israel. Biden didn’t push back at all and Harris was his VP. What did they think was going to happen? I still voted for her despite that, but I can understand how it would make people want to sit out.

Tacos In Denver 🌮🏔️4

“In a text message, North Carolina Democratic Party chair Anderson Clayton wrote that the report underlines the importance of “showing up in places we have left behind” and “defining what it means to be a Democrat and giving the people something to fight for — not just against.” - BINGO!!!

Ms.Dacia2

This party is in desperate need of new leadership. This sht is pathetic 🫩

M.T. Gravemind4

if Israeli spies AREN'T the direct cause of the omission then the DNC are basically traitors by incompetence. We begged and begged them to engage with the issues around Israel and Palestine during the campaign of 2024 and they ignored us knowing we had warned them of the danger. Absolute malpractice

bjkeefe2

I will give Ken Martin credit for saying the autopsy was incomplete and not ready for prime time in light of: "There is not a single mention of Mr. Biden’s age, a regular concern of voters and Democratic officials throughout his presidency, nor of Israel and Gaza ..."

Nils Gore2

maybe they should send out some more unsolicited text messages that make me reply STOP
