Adam Mockler breaks down the long-awaited Democratic Party 2024 election autopsy after the DNC finally released a heavily criticized report filled with contradictions, missing evidence, and almost no discussion of inflation, Gaza, immigration, or Bidens age. As frustration grows over Democratic leadership, media strategy, and the influence of money in politics, critics say the party still lacks a compelling vision capable of reconnecting with working-class voters and defeating Donald Trumps increasingly authoritarian movement.

The Democratic Party; at its' best IS the party of the people, and candor is critical to building trust.

But I guess my post was saying that for all our flaws, our Party does indeed to try and play fair, and tell the truth.

(114,685 posts)(and we're fools to deny it) is cronyism that might not be as bad as Fatso hiring a real estate develloper buddy with a lifetime MaraLardo membership but few qualifications plus his crooked son in law as foreign policy deal makers and it's no wonder why they're so easily duped by Putin, who dazzles them with money while making unacceptable demands that do nothing to end his war. Ours is hiring a nincompoop dudebro for what could have and should have been a report that not only detailed why we lost but would detail corrective action to help us win in the future. Thaty it failed so completely is one big reason we keep losing.
Obviously, someone needs to oversee who is getting hired for what along with clear and concise delineation of instructions and explanations. Nincompoop dudebros should be thanked for their kind offers and shown to the nearest unemployment office, we can't afford them.
As for why we lost, I can answer that, I've been listening to enough fence sitters who fell off in Fatso's direction. Inflation was the biggest issue. While there were other issues, the next biggest, illegal immigration, was a distant second. Gaza as an issue was a very small issue that might have been bigger if people weren't having so much trouble affording groceries and rent.

(12,235 posts)On some issues (especially Gaza and unconditional support for Bibi). Her response on The View that she couldnt think of anything shed do differently from Joe was impossible to overcome. I wish she could have felt free to answer more candidly.
But in spite of that, I still dont think she really lost. Its also good to have transparency before the midterms clean house and work to inspire voters trust!

(5,546 posts)Hillary in 2016, by either not voting or voting third party, but encouraging others to do likewise.
We lost the SC with these suppossed "progressives"
David Sirota, Nina Turner, Brihana Joy Gray, Cornell West, Jill Stein, Susan Sarandon, etc. etc. etc.
In every critical swing state Hillary lost by less than 1%, while in those critical swing states Jill Stein 1% of the vote.
and as if 2016 wasn't bad enough, they did the same redo in 2024.
I am so tired of these same characters always appear at election time, complaining about "establishment" Democrats, and then blaming everyone else except themselves when they didn't vote because the "perfect" candidate wasn't there, and encouraged others to do likewise.
Constant divisive crap that has done nothing but elect republicans, and bringing us to where we are NOW.
and as for Gaza, they really screwed the pooch on that one by turning their back on Harris, and by doing so helped usher in trump.
EVERYONE KNEW THAT THE SUPREME COURT WAS AT STAKE IN 2016.
There is no cure for stupidity.
but rant on, blame Democratic leadership, establishment Democrats, etc., and then act outraged and blame everyone else except themselves for NOT bothering to vote.
