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.
DemocRAT tears make me happy.
The entire Democrat party has been subsumed by the far left wing.
Just as there are no ‘moderate Muslims inside a mosque, there is no ‘moderate’ or ‘centrist’ Democrats inside the party any more.
They have all been driven out or threatened into silence. There will come a day of reckoning. Either the entire party will be tossed out by the American electorate or the party will split into two factions that despise each other just as they despise conservatives.
These ‘Outside’ financiers must be stopped. Money flowing into these so-called NGOs is nothing more than communist subversive militias financing of a civil war.
The CIA used to take care of these types of problems, but they have been subverted as well.............
Democrat insanity is baked in via public schools and universities. The conditioning is physical in the brain. It cannot be reversed by any mental confrontation short of trauma.
Autopsy? Why perform one on trash? Trump is driving that garbage truck. Unload it at the dustbin of history.
No autopsy is needed. The Dems already know who they are and what they stand for.
My only advice for the Dems would be to drop the entire Open Borders / White genocide platform
They’d do a lot better .
Even people who like a massive welfare state understand that you can’t import endless leeches
Mensheviks versus Bolsheviks...
Exactly................
You can if the impact occurs on other people's watches. That is what kicking the can down the road is for.
It’s wrong.
Every Presidential election from 2004 through 2020 (sans 2008) was decided by 500,000 votes or less. Allow me to quantify that.
Gen.Blather wrote previously that his Uncle who was big in Ohio Repub circles said “each party candidate will attract about forty percent of the total vote. It doesn’t matter who they are, whether they’re good candidates or even if they’re dead. They get forty percent. All elections are a fight for the necessary eleven percent to make 51%”
He’s a smart man. I would argue, however, it’s actually LESS than 11%.
Since Reagan’s landslide in 1984, the popular vote margin ranged from a high of 8.51% for Clinton to a low of -2.09% for Trump.
Again, as we know, the popular vote isn’t the decider - it’s the Electoral College. Thus you have to scrutinize the winning vote margin in those close states that tip the balance to the winner, ie the Tipping Point states.
Since 2004 every election except for 2008 it came down to the handful of states that tip the Electoral College scale to the winner:
- In Trump’s win in 2016, his cumulative winning margin in the tipping point states of WI, MI, and PA was 77,444 votes.
- Trump in 2024’s tipping point total was 229,766 votes (also in WI, MI, and PA).
-In Biden’s casein 2020, his tipping point margin was about 40k votes.
-Obama in 2012, it was about 500k votes.
- Obama’s tipping point goal was almost 1MM votes in 2008. -Bush in 2004, about 16k votes.
All this campaigning and rallies and debates blah blah blah…it all comes down in general to beating the other guy (or gal) by less than 250,000 votes.
….and it’s actually thinner than that, because all the losing candidate needed was to flip at least half of those votes.
Thus, if the Dems were raging anti-Americanists, we’d have blowout elections. But we don’t.
The truth of the matter is Dems are offering anti-Trump candidates. Yes, in some cases they’re antis like AOC, but broadly Dem candidates win thru demonization, slime, and emotionalism. And it works, and has worked for decades.
Most importantly, you don’t need piles of people to win. We are talking mere percentage points in many cases.
Ignoring a problem doesn’t make it go away. And with Trump being term limited, the Repubs need an actual strategy for 2026 and beyond.
An autopsy is done on a dead body to determine the cause of death.
It fixes nothing.
The Democrat Party is nothing but a bunch of raging lunatics
the left hates capitalism, competition, Christianity, meritocracy, and hard work.
all of which are at the core of being an American.
you realize, when you cheat you want people to believe the vote is close so they’re much less likely to question the outcome.
Since The Committee on Public Information under George Creel, appointed by Woodrow Wilson for the purpose of promoting the American commitment to World War I.
...and the comprise half the nation, truly terrifying
I believe there is an old saying about....living by the sword & dying by the sword....is this what the Democrat party wants? If so, there are maybe a couple other parties who are not quite so vitriolic who would probably willingly take their place.
Views on Kamala Harris are deeply polarized, with criticisms regarding “democracy” generally split into two distinct, opposing narratives that she is “anti-democracy.”
Following her 2024 presidential campaign, some critics—including journalists and commentators—argued that the Democratic Party’s move to install her at the top of the ticket without a traditional primary was “undemocratic”.
This perspective suggests that party elites, rather than voters, made the choice, which critics argue is an “abandonment” of democratic principles.
During campaigns, conservative critics and Donald Trump labeled her part of the “Radical Left,” arguing her policy positions or past actions threatened traditional American institutions. -——Institute for Youth in Policy
Conversely, many supporters viewed her as a defender of democratic institutions, the rule of law, and voting rights, particularly in contrast to Donald Trump. She was lauded for her focus on preserving democratic norms, as noted by the Council on Foreign Relations.
2024 Election Autopsy: A 2026 DNC autopsy report suggested her 2024 campaign failed to make a strong enough “affirmative” case for her leadership, relying too heavily on anti-Trump sentiment.——— The New York Times
Allegations of being “anti-democracy” against Harris often stem from critiques of the process of her nomination within the Democratic party.
The Democratic Party’s choice of Harris was seen as undemocratic.
