Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin has dismissed calls for the committee’s full “autopsy” report of the 2024 election to be released, saying that it would be “navel gazing” to focus on the historic loss for the party against President Donald Trump. On his podcast Pod Save America on Tuesday, Jon Favreau grilled Martin, asking the party leader why he reneged on his pledge in…

the democrats told us they would rather lose than even PRETEND to relax their foot a little off the pedal of genocide. fuck them forever

The DNC in 2024: "This is the most important election of our lives"

The DNC in 2026: "Actually talking about why we lost in 2024 would be pointless navel gazing."

Also, man what?

Martin also said that the report, which is 200 pages long, was done by an “unpaid adviser to the DNC.”

The whole thing was done by a (single!?) volunteer?

Don't worry, they paid a consultancy firm very, very well so their intern could do the entire report by themselves.

somebody grow a conscience and leak that shit already

this is how I feel about Kamala's shelved appearance on Subway Takes

i actually think so few people got a chance to see this report, it probably got to 1-2 layers of suits before they clamped down completely on it. there's no one with a beating human heart that's seen it yet.

[–] darkmode@hexbear.net 34 points 1 day ago

we'd call them controlled opposition but they're not even oppositioning anymore

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 39 points 1 day ago

Lol fucking cowards. It must be devastating honestly, and probably why they can't seem to keep Hasan Piker's name out of their mouths.

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago

in that interview he kept saying that they are releasing recommendations based on the report. okay, maybe they are but id sure as fuck like to see the source or sources on those recommendations. without sources, your conclusions are invalid.

[–] Runcible@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

in all fairness if they don't plan on changing anything (they don't) it would be idiotic to publish this

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 9 points 18 hours ago

Oh they'll change something. Last election they doubled down on the hate and suffering, this time they'll trippple down

Ken Martin's a lying piece of shit.

Assuming there's any truth to this autopsy (which is a fairly safe assumption, since the DNC scum are so afraid to let anyone else see it), it could only report the clear and obvious fact that the DNC and the Dem establishment fucked everything up when they bent over for their rich donors and put a stop to Harris' extremely popular populist messaging and instead made her mouth all of that standard "centrist" pro-corporate, pro-zionist, pro-status quo bullshit. At that precise moment, and entirely predictably to anyone who doesn't have their head lodged up billionaire ass, Harris' support started to crumble and never recovered.

And again, if there's any truth to the autopsy, that's exactly what it says.

And that's exactly why the fucking DNC doesn't dare release it.

[–] EnsignRedshirt@hexbear.net 28 points 1 day ago

lmao Harris is also Zionist status quo shill. I agree about the DNC, but there was no populist rhetoric, much less policy, coming from Harris.

made her

strong phrasing for one of history's most empty vessels

[–] WatDabney@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 16 hours ago

Yeah - I hesitated over that one myself, since it makes it sound like they faced some resistance.

But I wanted to make the point that it wasni a decision that she made, but that they made and then she carried out.
