There’s an ancient, almost surely apocryphal story about a dog food company executive convening a big sales meeting. A very short version has the exec running through all of the company’s advantages: the best sales team, the best advertising, the best packaging, etc. He then irately asks, “So why aren’t we selling more dog food?”
After a long silence, a small voice from the back ventures a guess: “Maybe the dogs don’t like it.”
The story is a cliché, but a useful one in business and politics. For instance, the prelaunch internal name for Netflix was “Kibble,” a reminder that the customer actually had to like the product itself.
The Democratic Party would be well-advised to launch its own Operation Kibble.
There were hopes — and fears — that the recently released Democratic “autopsy” of their 2024 election defeat would be the beginning of just such an effort. Every Democratic faction wanted a report that either ratified their ideological commitments or proved that the party brass was hostile toward them.
Everyone was disappointed. The autopsy wasn’t a complete mess. It was an incomplete mess, with countless blank sections including a missing conclusion. Also, absent: any mention of President Biden’s age, Kamala Harris’ myriad shortcomings or such relevant issues as inflation, immigration, Israel or politically toxic culture war issues.

The only thing disappointing about it is that it wasn’t an actual autopsy.
Democrat lie. They can’t help themselves that is how they are wired. They are never going to take an honest look at themselves. Every time they lose they look for the gimmick trick that will magically win them back into power. The result is they move harder and harder Left every time they lose.
Had the party died like the Reform Party of Perot-Jesse Ventura, the “autopsy” would have been followed by the burial of the Dem Party’s stinking and shriveled up remains.

LOL! You win The Internets for today! :)
Thank you! Quite an honor. 😊
Good one.
I think Paxton beating Cornyn 25 points speaks volumes about the upcoming 2026 mid terms.

Dude, you kicked A !
It wasn’t honest. That could be the reason they’re upset. It was really simple.
We forced Biden out
In an act of defiance he endorsed Kamala
She’s “black” and a woman, and our rules wouldn’t allow us to get rid of her like we did Bernie who was neither.
She’s a horrible candidate and got waxed like a candle.
Oh, you got me with that one!
Which made it so much funnier because she thought she was a fantastic candidate. Something she had in common with Hillary.
It does seem like that, doesn’t it :)
I hope she comes out against the primary system and demands that the DNC anoint her as their candidate for 2028. Would be fun to watch!
The Democrat Party is rebranding as the communist party. Apparently the CCP isn’t ready to give up on its puppet party yet. Democrats have a powerful propaganda machine, can buy a substantial amount of votes and preach class warfare. Too many zombified Americans buy this communist crap.
As for Jonah Goldberg: Recall that no Trumper Goldberg fired Ann Coulter from NRO shortly after 9/11 because she wrote “the U.S. should “invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.” What was wrong with that? Goldberg is a closet commie.
“The Democratic Party ‘autopsy’ somehow disappointed everyone”
there’s strong evidence it was mostly written by AI, anyway ... probably one reason it’s so useless ...
