The democrat's postmortem report
The Democratic Party reluctantly & belatedly released a draft report on why Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election. DNC Chair Ken Martin had been going back and forth on whether to release the report or not. He tried to avoid it as long as possible but finally caved in under pressure. The report he finally released was chock full of annotations and obvious errors and glaring omissions such as Biden’s age & cognitive issues along with the war in Gaza, and some whole sections are empty.
“Data appears to be inaccurate and contradicts public reporting,” reads one note on the report’s assertion that Democrats “netted two seats in the House, flipping ten seats from the Republicans while losing eight” in 2024. Other analysis finds Democrats netted one House seat.
At another point, the report refers to Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin as states that “had consistently and reliably voted for Democratic candidates,” though all three of those states had voted for Trump in 2016 — before flipping blue in 2020 and back to red in 2024.
The report was written by Democratic strategist Paul Rivera, according to CNN, which first reported on the release. A close friend of Martin’s, he reportedly worked on the autopsy part-time, though his name does not appear on the released copy.
“This document reflects the views of the author, not the DNC. 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,” reads a disclaimer at the top of all 192 pages of the report.
The report offered a bleak assessment of the Democratic Party in recent cycles, culminating in problematic blue losses in the 2024 presidential election. It also argues the White House “did not position or prepare” Harris to take over the ticket after former President Biden’s exit from the race.
Observers quickly noted omissions from the autopsy, too, including Biden’s age, Harris’s choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) as her running mate and Democratic divisions over Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war — three topics that dominated many 2024 conversations.
DNC report 'does not meet my standards,' Chair Martin says
Then are the critical issues:
The report notably does not mention:
・Inflation, Bidenflation, gas prices
・The party’s facture on Israel and Gaza
・The assassination attempts against Donald Trump
・Podcasts as an important campaign medium
・Catholics, Christians, evangelicals, or ‘religion’
・White men
・The Make America Healthy Again movement
It also is really light on:
・The party’s support of unpopular transgender issues like women’s sports, bathrooms, or gender transitions for prisoners. It briefly mentions the they/them ad against Kamala but fails to properly explain why it was so effective.
・Immigration and the border. The only mention of ‘border’ is in the context of whining that Harris was labeled the “border czar.”
・Climate mandates, which it merely describes as causing “anxiety” with voters
・There is a brief mention of “80-20” issues but not what those issues are
The report also bizarrely alleges that the media environment — including the mainstream, corporate media — is too right-wing for Democrats to be able to properly compete.

Good morning, TGIF and welcome to the Vic Eldred cast.
A special farewell to Congressman Massie:
There is nothing like retirement.
he's holding enough trump/epstein data and pictures to torture the corrupt bag of shit child molester in the oval office until new years ...
Imagine voting or rooting against a guy because he wants to investigate pedophilia and sex-trafficking. Something to be proud of, eh.
Time to get the old grill ready!
Is that the depiction of conservatives desperately trying to use this Democrat introspective dealing with 2 years ago to blind everyone as to what's going on right now under their President? If so, you nailed it.
gee, I wonder if a summer of $5+ per gallon gas will deter any outdoor trump rallies ...
Gas here in Fayetteville, NC is under $4 a gallon. Your picture must be from one of those Democrat run shitholes.
Haven't read the DNC 2024 'autopsy'. The reporting on the report seems to be typical Democratic 'not our fault' introspection. The 2024 autopsy seems worthy of being flushed down the memory hole as both parties have done for decades.
President Trump's retribution parade seems to be backfiring. All those Republican incumbents he 'primary'ed' hold their seats till next January. Kind of difficult to keep the loyalty of those you've thrown under the bus.
The Republicans that Trump helped defeat are simply voting the same way they were voting. Massie voted against everything Trump wanted, so what's different? At least the GOP will be rid of them next year.
What's different is that Massie is not alone, now. I'm surprised Massie doesn't run an independent campaign to be a spoiler. President Trump cannot rely on John Fetterman till next January, either. The difference is which party controls Congress next year.
Is there a GOP any longer? Mixing Trump Republicans with the TEA Party 'Freedom Caucus' seems to be more Libertarian than GOP. They just don't have the 'big ones' to admit it.
defund the secret service on day 1 and let trump pick up the tab with the proceeds from his grifting ...
We'll find out come November
The DNC is right. That autopsy is not worth much at all.
Leave it to MAGA to whine about an election they won. The rest of us have bigger fish to fry - the winner is a raging lunatic. What "autopsy" will we get on that?
That's how they campaigned last time. Good luck with that.
So whining about what has already happened instead of worrying about and fixing things in order to win the 2028 presidential election. Great plan.
It's the same shit different day with the left. Cry about Trump regardless of what is going on.
And more of the unfounded opinions. Must be a day ending in "Y".
And we get the same shit from those on the right, defending Trump regardless of what is exploding behind him.
The only thing exploding behind him are the fragile little minds of the liberal left and Democrats.
"Hmmm, I know I can come up with a good comeback, I just know it!"
"I did it, haha, haha, haha..."
Sorry, not sorry. I have no desire to work on your timeline. I'll respond when I wish to respond. Not like you are bringing anything of any value in the first place.
Responding to "same shit different day with the left" and "Must be a day ending in "Y" does not require thoughtful responses since they are just the same tired excuses Trump supporters use to deflect and dismiss any and all concerns over their feckless dear Leader. If you feel like you're running in circles, perhaps you should stop chasing your tail.
It's pointing out the obvious. No expaination needed. Well, unless...
Was it a joke? They cannot, even in an intra party document, deal with reality.
I assume it's because if they did, and even hinted at moderating on the 80/20 issues that they got crushed on, the same 20% who run and fund the party would have a total meltdown. Dialogue is not their thing.
kind of like this article ...
no comment on the maga savior's $1.8 billion grift and traitor bonus fund, and a family friendly get out of IRS jail free card for tax fraud?
I guess they have to try. If the President you just voted for 2 years ago was failing this spectacularly, you'd be trying to change the subject as well.
you'd think they'd be used to it after nixon ...
trump won because th election was rigged.
Now, now. Remember, "Do unto others as you would have them do to you". Not the rightwing conservative version which is clearly "Do unto others as you crazily believe they did to you because you believe conspiracy theories and shit that just ain't true".
Why worry? Republicans have the majority and could care less about any Democrat or Democrat voter.
Republicans are willing to do anything necessary, like Ohio Republicans who just ignore court rulings and laws to gerrymander a perpetual Republican majority. This usurping of voters rights is happening across the country.
Republicans have made America great with another war. Right?
Republicans support tearing down our history and paving over it with a golden ballroom, now being billed to the taxpayer.
Republicans stand by while the White House is being covered in golden overlays on the taxpayer dime.
Republicans support a taxpayer paid for "Golden Dome" project to protect only the White House.
Republicans said nothing about paving over the White Hose rose garden to literally duplicate a patio at one of Trump's clubs paid for by the taxpayer.
Republicans NEVER mention how much taxpayer dollars will be used for MAINTENANCE on every Trump vanity project bulldozing over the People's House or how much maintenance will cost perpetually maintaining all the useless indoor and outdoor "24 carat gold leaf".
Republicans have NOT stood up to the biggest insult of all. Trump building the "Arc de Trump" BLOCKING the view of Arlington National Cemetery.
When will Republicans start looking at how Trump is NOT making America great again and dig into their own problems. Their own bowing down to every Trump whim is hurting Americans and that is far more important than going over the failures of the opposing party.
