Despite a pledge from DNC Chair Ken Martin to release the post-election report, the committee announced Thursday it would not share it publicly.
I’ve said this in my other comments closer to the election but it bares repeating.
Democrats lost for two main reasons:
- they failed to energize their base
- they didn’t push Biden out fast enough
They didn’t have much control over the second point. Biden was holding onto power like every other president until other party leaders turned on him.
But DNC fully owns the first point. 2024 saw the same playbook as 2016: at least I’m not Trump.
That worked in 2020 because Trump was president. But the DNC failed to deliver any lasting and impactful change during Biden that everyday Americans could point their finger and say, “I want more of that.” Instead, Biden delivered mediocre “stay the course” programs, which given the Republican Congress, was a miracle but it doesn’t win you elections.
The DNC report probably blames Harris for being a woman and probably puts blame on genocide issue voters and will, undoubtedly, learn the wrong lesson again. They are going to keep moving to the right despite clear evidence that the American people want a government that works for them, and not a government they merely tolerate.
If you want change in the DNC, we need to form a new party. The perfect time is to start now, before primaries are underway for midterms. Have progressive candidates sign on as Democrats, pledging to support a progressive party if enough representatives win. If the DNC complains that they are splitting the vote, progressives should clap back and say they are bowing to fascists.
The report: “Moving further right and chasing mythical unicorn Republicans who would magically vote for a Democrat instead of actually giving voters what they want doesn’t work. Nor does supporting genocide without question.”
DNC: “…well we can’t print that now can we. It’s all our donors allow us to do. Get Cheney back on the line, we’ll trot her out again and just try harder to get Republicans to vote for us!”
depressingly plausible take.
Billionaire donors are complicit, maybe directly, maybe indirectly.
Well it must not be because of trans people, because they would have released that shit
RussiaAntifa, if you’re listening…
