DNC Autopsy of 2024 Loss Doesn’t Mention Gaza or Israel at all

Refusing to shine a light on facts does not help the Democratic Party.

Alright, so here’s what I’m wondering. The DNC was clearly ashamed of this report. They knew it was bad, and poorly written, and said nothing of value. That’s why they tried to avoid releasing it.

So if they knew all of that… why didn’t they commission a better report? To me, there’s only two logical options: they’re too lazy to do it, or they already know what their issues are and don’t want to put them on paper for everyone to read.

Turns out voters care more about domestic policies than a war on the other side of the planet.

The narrative that Democrats lost because they weren’t pro-Palestine / anti-Israel is largely inflated on Reddit.

There are a ton of power mods that tend to push this narrative very hard on seemingly non-political subs.

In fairness Reddit did an analysis based on these accusations, although it seemed to be more focused on whether they are pushing terrorist agendas. They concluded they aren’t supporting terrorism, but whether they are using their mod power to push agendas on seemingly non-political subs… you can form your own opinion:

Probably cuz Israel and Gaza were immaterial to the 2024 election

Democrats didn’t lose because we didn’t go hard enough on Israel.

We lost because nobody had either the guts or skills to convince Biden not to run again. The ticket was sunk the moment during the debate when it became clear Biden didn’t have a clue where he was or what he was doing.

That was the main problem. It is truly that simple. Issues of ineffective communication, poor local organizing, and the other logistical fuckuos also matter.

Everyone going conspiracy, but DNC Martin was right.

He said they didn’t release because it’s not a finished product, and it wasn’t. It was a trash rough draft with no sources and “pending” in some sections.

Their biggest take away was that Biden didnt support Kamala well enough, and let her differentiate herself. Which is the lame DC takeaway. Realistically maybe would have helped on the margins, if that.

What I thought was by far the most interesting is this tidbit from NYT.

“A thread that appears throughout the draft report places blame on a broader Democratic Party infrastructure that is seasonal while conservative organizations like Turning Point USA have a permanent presence.”

This is so true it is painful. Republicans play culture wars all day every day. They spend money all the time. Democrats stack it up and spend in a month or two.

Democrats drive a quick message, but republicans drive a daily culture.

There exists a vacuum from Dem leadership FOR MONTHS, then suddenly they are everywhere. That is not how you build followers, thats how you get people to make a last minute decision.

They lost because of a mix of racism and sexism and a blazé attitude toward lingering inflation that voters are simply too undereductated to understand was a world wide post-covid phenomenon that Biden/Harris couldn’t have stopped though better pandemic management by Trump 2020 might have limited.

But they can’t say that, which makes am autopsy on why they lost pretty hard to compile.

Running against the modern GQP which is both corrupt and unconstitutional should be a slam dunk. It’s insane how far the DNC has drifted from the working class when that’s how you get a lot of MAGA on your side. The DNC needs to be on offense making the claim on how we will enact real change for the rest of us not in the top 1%

We should throw down the gauntlet:

Federal Budget – an 8 year plan to reduce the deficit with the goal of hitting an economic surplus.

Taxes – a national wealth tax that can’t be circumvented aimed directly at the top 1%.

Gas Prices – During a global crisis (including our current Trump inflicted crisis), US Oil companies must sell domestically at a cost plus model and excess capacity can be sold on the global market at current rates.

Credit Cards – a cap at 14.9% so that people in debt have an opportunity to get out from under.

Health Care – an 8 year plan to get to full universal healthcare just like every other first world country. Show people that they will spend less to get more, be protected from going bankrupt from medical conditions, and destroy the narrative that quality of care will decline.

Farmers – empower farmers as a Co-op to break the oligopolies that control their supply chain as well as their equipment (right to repair, BS patented crop abuse, etc) so that farmers can make a decent wage and financially survive off years. Show how Trump’s insane international policies have devastated farmers. Bonus, instead of that farming wealth being leached out to the corporate overlords in big cities, Farmers are spending that money in their local communities.

Military – No new wars and reverse the GOP denials of soldier’s health care claims. No soldier injured or exposed to toxic materials while serving our country should bear the costs of their own healthcare from the damage they received while serving. Show how insane this SecDef has been where his pals are betting on attack dates on poly market, tipping off the Iranians and putting troops in actual increased danger. Promotions and demotions should only happen through normal chain of command without Executive Branch retaliatory actions without cause or evidence.

Social Issues – We can support LGBTQ/Trans equality without allowing the GOP to define it as our top priority.

Israel – we want the Israeli people safe, but the current Government has committed severe war crimes. Everything about this relationship must be reexamined.

Epstein – A commitment to full release and to prosecute ANY/EVERYONE who committed a crime INCLUDING those in the current administration who covered it up to protect the president.

Corruption Accountability – Anyone who has illegally made money or gotten away with breaking the law during this administration because accountability has been thrown out the window will be investigated by a special counsel and prosecuted vigorously.

If someone honestly didn’t vote on the Democratic ticket because of their stance on Gaza, thinking that Trump’s ‘s influence on that region would be somehow better then they’re a gigantic idiot

OK. The national Democratic Party sucks. But, it is still better than the Trump Gang.

How do they plan to combat right-wing propaganda?

It’s also largely irrelevant. The next Democrat president will be running against the DNC and its consultant class, and it’s really pretty obvious that organization is going to choke itself and die. Good. Let’s replace it with something much better.

Or Biden’s age or Democrats spending the previous year talking seriously about why it was a bad idea to have an eighty year old running for re-election.

I’ve skimmed the document. If this were wheel of Swiss cheese it would be more holes than cheese.

They probably had some intern scribble some crap together at the last minute. Gave them a list of things to include and exclude, then rubber stamped it.

I can’t believe they’re the better party but here we are…

Of course it didn’t mention the motherland. It was partly written by AIPAC.

How much of an uphill battle would it be to form a proper left leaning party completely outside of the DNC?
