A real autopsy from the party would have concluded that voters rejected Democrats in the last election because of their anti-American policies.
It was the anticlimax of the year when last week Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin finally released his party’s “autopsy” analyzing what led to its spectacular failure in 2024. It’s almost 200 pages long, but I’ll save you some time: There’s nothing in it about the Democrat Party’s fundamentally anti-American positions and therefore no indication that Democrats are interested in adapting to voters; rather, they’re still dead-set on physically eliminating their opposition.
The report’s debut was bad enough. It only came months and months after prominent Democrats, including Kamala Harris (haha), called for its release. Then, when Martin did push it out, he warned everyone in advance that it was worthless and proceeded to annotate it to hell and back so as to make it painfully clear that he was not a co-signer of the document. “This document reflects the views of the author, not the DNC,” reads the top of every single page of the report. “The DNC was not provided with the underlying sourcing, interviews, or supporting data for many of the assertions contained herein and therefore cannot independently verify the claims presented.”
To be fair to Martin and DNC leadership, it really is a woefully inadequate assessment of not just the 2024 election but the entire state of the Democrat Party. It spends most of its time chronicling results of past elections and contrasting Kamala’s performance with down-ballot candidates who were able to distinguish themselves from the party at large. The most useful portion comes on page 73, where the report suggests only a change in position would have blunted an attack from the Trump campaign.
Well, yeah, except Kamala did change her position on several key issues, including energy production, immigration, and health care. And she did it with little to no explanation at all. The problem wasn’t that she refused to morph into something she wasn’t. It was that her boss was a terrible president and as his vice president, she bore every bit of responsibility for it. Just because she might have said the opposite of what she had done right up until it was time to get elected didn’t mean voters would buy it.
It’s kind of perfect, though. There isn’t a single position Democrats have actually changed their stance on following that defeat. And to the extent that they’ve self-reflected, it’s only for them to say that there’s nothing wrong with the party, but that the problem is with voters who get their news from podcasts and who would like to hear less about transgenderism. That the DNC would then produce a report devoid of real criticism, but instead chock full of cliches (“We have to meet this moment with creativity, purpose, and openness”) is entirely in keeping with the Democrat Party’s refusal to acknowledge that its real problem is what animates it at its core — a burning resentment and hostility toward anyone who doesn’t want to destroy the American middle class.
They know that’s the gist of their platform, but of course they can’t put that in writing. So they do what they always do, which is talk instead about timing and messaging — anything but their monstrous policies.
Their plan isn’t to modulate or evolve. Their plan is to watch Trump and Republicans continue declining in popularity and run against that on its own. And then Democrats hope to take power and do exactly what they did during the Biden years, on a larger scale. That means legally harassing their political opposition, squeezing taxpayers — the middle class — of every cent possible (to give to foreigners), and allowing crime to run rampant, especially fraud.
A real autopsy from the party would have concluded that voters rejected Democrats in the last election because of their anti-American policies. They’re betting that it doesn’t matter going into the next one.
Just listen to what they say, and keep ‘em talking!
If I were a billionaire would to the following. Buy up or rent as many billboards throughout the country as possible. Then post on those billboards a simple message.
“Any vote for any Democrat, anywhere, anytime is a vote to destroy the American nation”.
It would be a patriotic exercise in free speech. Try to imagine what will happen to America if these demonic Democrats again seize power.
Listening Elon?
40-40-20, That’s the electorate, roughly speaking.
40% Democrats, 40% Republicans and 20% Independents and Libertarians.
Now, that 20% can be broken down as 40-40-20 as well. 40% Dem leaning, 40% Rep leaning and 20% clueless.
40% of 20 is 8%, 20% of 20 is 4%, so now we have 48-48 and a clueless 4% that will actually decide who will lead us for the next four years!......
That’s if you naive enough to think our elections are 100% legit.
Yes, I think Sten is right on this to a good degree.
I have seen this analysis before, on how many votes it really takes, in the right places, to swing an election. And I agree with the analysis, that it takes a lot less than the vast majority of people think.
And that has been the vector of Leftist cheating for decades. And I guarantee you, that even though I am certain Republicans have done some of that too, the overwhelmingly vast majority of election fraud has been committed by the Left.
And they haven’t been stupid about it, either.
Just as Satan’s greatest weapon is making people think that he doesn’t exist, the Left strives to make people think that election fraud doesn’t exist.
The mask is slipping though.
Even the most incurious people have to wonder why the Democrats (the Left) are against Voter ID, cleaning voter rolls, and for things like Motor Voter laws, same day voting registration, ballot harvesting, mail in balloting, election periods that now last months and can even extend beyond the specified voting day, Ranked Choice Voting, Jungle Primaries, Gerrymandering by race, and on and on.
Granted, the effects by things like Ranked Choice Voting, Jungle Primaries, and Gerrymandering by race may evade a lot of shallow, non-thinking people, but even a lot of shallow Liberals (not Leftists) are wondering “Why don’t they want to allow Voter ID???”
So I agree with the premise that a small amount of votes in the right places can swing elections, but I have concluded the closeness is not due to overall predilections of the electorate around the country as much as it is to people accepting it is that close because of the extensive, coordinated election fraud (organized, funded, and carried out by enemies of this Republic, both foreign and domestic) that has been taking place for decades (as opposed to independent, uncoordinated election fraud that has been going on since our country was founded)
The fact that the Left constantly screams that election fraud is rare and uncoordinated, and they support things that encourage election fraud and reject measures to limit it (and do that with a tenacious, screaming, unhinged tenacity and ferocity) is, to me, an absolute tell of what their actions and intentions are.
When you need an autopsy, it confirms you are dead already. Have not seen any dead person brought back to life. Once the heart stops and brain does not get any more oxygen, the brain gets damaged very fast.
What we need is an enema.
Doesnt matter, they wouldn’t listen and learn from it anyway.
Thank God.
That is still almost half.
We have a bigger problem than just what politicians do.
Oh, I know. Tammany Hall was a Dem organization. They’ve been at this for quite a while.
John Madden allegedly said “don’t forget, there are THREE teams on the field every Sunday.” In turn, many coaches, after a close game where the outcome was potentially attributable to a bad call by a ref, will usually say “yeah, that was a bad call but we had plenty of opportunities to put it away but we didn’t execute.”
This applies to elections just as well.
Republicans have to overwhelm the opposing team so it doesn’t come down to a Bad Call or Tammany Hall tipping the scales.
I would LOVE for there to be fairness in politics. I would love for many pols to be doing the perp walk.
I would also love for there to be a Santa, and frankly there is a better chance that a fat man will deliver me and my family presents on Dec 25 than I’ll get a fair election.
The point of the analysis is that we have been - and will be for some time - in a close, one-score game. We need to recognize that Madden was right. Yes, of course we need reform, hawks watching mail-in ballot counting, and all that good stuff. Indeed, lightman is i]an official in PA and has some good observations a for those who want to learn.
But we also need to stop griping about the officials - yes Virginia, they cheat for the left - and absolutely destroy the opposition to life, liberty, and property in the court of public opinion.
It is not enough to philosophically and empirically obliterate their anti-capitalism and pro-gun control and pro-illegal alien bromides. We need to relentlessly stand up for truth, call out their filth, and drive the money changers from the Temple.
Trump did a lot of good work on that front from 2021-2024. He won in 2024 via gains in minorities and youngsters. And he was shot at.
But he’s term-limited. We need to red-pill more than enough voters from here on out, where the 51-yard pass interference calls don’t impact the outcome of the game.
Better yet, go full Eagles against the Chiefs.
This applies to elections just as well.
Republicans have to overwhelm the opposing team so it doesn’t come down to a Bad Call or Tammany Hall tipping the scales.
We made it too big to rig in 2024. California took over a month to count their ballots. But we didn't need California.
Exactly.
Trump won in 2016 via Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin where he won by 10,704, 44,292, and 22, 748 votes, respectively. That’s 77,744 votes. Those states has the smallest margins of victory and put him over the Electoral College top.
Biden’s margin of victory in 2020 came from Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin where he won* by 11,779, 10,457, and 20,682 votes, respectively. That’s only 42,918 votes.
In 2024, Trump won via Wisconsin Michigan and Pennsylvania by 29,397, 80,103, and 120,266 votes, respectively. That’s 229,766 votes.
And look at Trump in Wisconsin.
Trump went from a 22,748 victory margin, to a 20,692 loss* margin, to a 29,397 victory margi imm2016, 2020*, and 2024, respectively. .
That’s still too close for comfort. But a win is a win. And I bet you his 2024 win came from youth and minority votes that overwhelmed Tammany Hall.
Indeed, per Wikipedia, Trump won Wisconsin with 49.6% of the vote, the highest percentage a Republican candidate has received in Wisconsin since Reagan’s 1984 landslide. When Wisconsin was called for Trump, a number of networks simultaneously declared Trump the president-elect, winning a second, non-consecutive term. Trump’s victory in the state made him the first Republican candidate to carry Wisconsin twice since Ronald Reagan did so in 1980 and 1984. He also received nearly 1.7 million votes, a record for a candidate in the history of the state. Wisconsin was the closest state in the election by margin of victory, with Trump only winning it by 0.86%, thus making it the only state to be decided by less than a 1% margin. Wisconsin also shifted rightward by about 1.5 points, the weakest such shift in any of the swing states in the election.
Republicans need the same kind of bone-crushing, relentless drive nationally to persevere in the midterms and beyond.
“Republicans need the same kind of bone-crushing, relentless drive nationally to persevere in the midterms and beyond.”
Yep. America remains in the balance, for sure!
Unfortunately, the clueless category includes those who vote party without knowing anything about the candidate.
