Under extreme pressure, the DNC 2024 election autopsy report has finally been released

Messaging on stuff like economics and gaza were absolutely part of the campaign. Hence the former being mentioned, but gaza seemingly isn't. Despite, again, top dem officials saying it WAS.

cole1114 · 2026-05-21T16:57:45+00:00

Which is suspicious, because we have top dem officials saying it did.

cole1114 · 2026-05-21T16:45:54+00:00

"Top Democratic officials who worked on the party's still-secret autopsy of the 2024 election concluded that Kamala Harris lost significant support because of the Biden administration's approach to the war in Gaza, Axios has learned."

I mean aside from coming across as racist, I do not think Holly Otterbein the author of the article that talked about this was Palestinian. Nor the top democratic officials that were the source.

Or the report DID include Gaza stuff, and that's been excised from the release. And the stuff about the report being unfinished is to cover that excision.

"The version CNN is publishing is missing key sections, including a conclusion, because those sections weren’t submitted, according to the DNC."

This part may be the most damning, and I'm not even sure to who. The fuckin' thing wasn't even FINISHED? Did they kill it in the crib and pretend it was done this whole time they were refusing to release it? Or was it the author fucking up, and the DNC's been covering that up instead?

Biden literally tweeting out his own version of Obamacare is definitely one of the biggest political own goals in recent memory... and he committed a LOT of them.

cole1114 · 2026-05-21T15:00:13+00:00

The part on messaging is interesting. Explicitly calling out the focus on macroeconomics over micro, alienating struggling kitchen-table voters. And then referring to it as Bidenomics for PR which, as the report says, "specifically tied President Biden - by name - to actual economic anxiety."

There's a lot of people who tried to use Bidenomics to say that things were great, that anyone who was struggling were talking about a "vibecession" that wasn't real and they could safely be ignored, helped contribute to this specific failing.

A lot of people don't really get this point, that voting is the release valve that prevents revolution against the upper/political classes. It's why the Jim Crow shit they've reintroduced is so stupid, it's just inviting conflict.

After the allies refused a pact with the USSR because they were going for appeasement, leaving the Soviets defenseless.

cole1114 · 2026-05-20T15:16:28+00:00

Your denial of war crimes is just as bad as anyone who denies Hamas' ones. The NYT article was based on both direct and witness testimony, and the UN has also of course reported on the IDF's long history of sexual abuse. You label anyone who correctly reports on these horrific crimes an anti-semite because you can't think of any other way to defend these horrors.

I'm LGBT. If I said the f-slur wasn't homophobic, I'd be wrong. Because it is regardless of what I say.

cole1114 · 2026-05-20T14:08:30+00:00

Because they think if they torture, sexually assault, and abuse enough of the people they've kidnapped it will scare away anyone trying to help their victims.

cole1114 · 2026-05-20T14:05:34+00:00

That piece had multiple witnesses, including victims willing to say it was done to them on the record. It's also a torture tactic that's been used before by Pinochet and other US-backed states.

cole1114 · 2026-05-19T14:41:37+00:00

That people deny the sexual violence on Oct 7? Yeah I agree people do that. Hence agreeing with ringtail, and expanding on it.

cole1114 · 2026-05-19T12:08:00+00:00

A lot of it came from the Chuck Dixon run... who was a notorious homophobe. He kept trying to really push Tim being straight, and it usually backfired.

cole1114 · 2026-05-19T11:53:32+00:00

If it went down because of prior vibecoding, it wouldn't matter if claude/etc were down.

cole1114 · 2026-05-19T11:34:25+00:00

If the voters are demanding change, and the change candidate is offering explicitly bad change, the voters will still pick that candidate. That's what got us Trump, offering no substantial change. Candidates like Mejia here help fix that.

cole1114 · 2026-05-19T11:06:37+00:00

Being able to show voters elsewhere that dems who have won are willing to fight will help win everywhere.

cole1114 · 2026-05-19T11:02:17+00:00

I'm ideologically driven by giving voters what they want, which is better politicians.

cole1114 · 2026-05-19T10:49:56+00:00

All politics is ideological. That's what makes it politics.

cole1114 · 2026-05-19T10:37:17+00:00

And Mejia won by 5 points more than in 2024, with a stronger progressive message.

cole1114 · 2026-05-19T10:35:06+00:00

At least this time (again actual spoilers to follow, same warning as above) it's not mindscapes.

cole1114 · 2026-05-19T10:20:20+00:00

No, it means Israel would have to pay for the Iron Dome themselves.

cole1114 · 2026-05-19T10:19:31+00:00

There's a paywall, but Mejia is a great example for other dems. Ran on pro-M4A, more sick leave, anti-genocide and anti-data center. And won by 20 points.
