The DNC has (reluctantly?) released a large portion of their 2024 election autopsy. I've put CNN's highlights in bold followed by a summary.
Highlights:
It paints a pretty dismal picture for Democrats - Democrats have been losing support since Obama's first presidency. But the most recent election losses have still been close. Close enough than some Dems believe they need to move farther left, others think they should remain centrist/moderate.
It casts the Biden operation as having neglected Harris - Harris campaign claims the Biden admin just threw up their hands and told Harris "Good Luck!" They also blamed the Biden admin for failing to call out the media on calling her the "border czar" a title she has never held in an official capacity.
It points to a broader failure to define Trump - They felt the public already knew enough about Trump and disliked him enough that they didn't have a coherent strategy to attack him. Talking about his MULTIPLE impeachments, felonies, etc. all seemed to not matter to the voting public at large.
It says Harris and her campaign took too much for granted - Again....being "not Trump" is no longer a sufficient campaign strategy.
It cast Trump’s transgender ad as very damaging to Harris - Kamala is for They/Them...most of us are aware of the campaign advert and it's effectiveness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_is_for_they/them
But it says Harris at least helped other Democrats more than Biden - Biden still think he could have won, but other Democrats did better than expected with in 2024 given the circumstances. Harris stepping in over Biden may have been helpful for down ticket candidates.
It suggests a shift away from identity politics and towards middle-class appeal - Actual appeal to voters and getaway from appealing to small minority groups. Tell voters you want to help the poor and middle-class, don't tell voters you're going to help the black citizens that are poor and middle-class.
It casts Republicans as just better at politics - The GOP tends to be way better at consistent messaging. It's clearly more important to win the election rather than the argument, but Democrats tend to focus on the latter. |

lol the GOP is fucking retarded and only has any power because of Trump. most of the GOPe were perfectly fine with being the "controlled opposition" as Obama recently described them so long as they maintained their sinecures. |

No mention of years-long universal lie about Joe being sharp as a tack which was obvious to everyone. |

It's like as a handicap Republicans decided to say should feed elementary school kids pig shit for breakfast. And then they had to debate all these serious issues, and no matter how brilliant they were on taxes, tariffs, healthcare, etc - the other side can just rebut it by saying "Yeah - but don't you want to feed pig shit to kids?"
It's just such an easy issue to show that a politician is either stupid or a liar. |

" The report is silent on some of the biggest and potentially juiciest aspects of the 2024 campaign.
That includes any judgment about Biden’s decision to run again, the impact of the war in Gaza (which split Democrats) and the fact that Harris was allowed to take over the ticket without anything amounting to an electoral process for choosing a replacement. "
Yeah... they just shit out a big fat nothingburger to manipulate their base. Who would've expected that from the DNC, right? Don't take a single thing these people say at face value. They're a fundraising apparatus and a Joke. |
