      It is more likely that it includes accusations that are indictable and they don’t want to waste the opportunity

        That’s some wishful-ass thinking. But also the best scenario, so I guess I’m all for it.

        Not that we’ll ever actually see legal justice - there’s been plenty of evidence for it, but never a shred of enforcement. At this point our hope lies solely with vigilante justice.

          Kamala is a former California AG so I have to think that she still functions like a prosecutor. I agree that’s some wishful ass-thinking though. Democrats have been incredibly disappointing for far too long now. I’m not sure if I posted it as hopium or just a possible alternative interpretation.

    Probably reveals pretty much the opposite of what the party leadership is saying.

    DNC Leaders: “We lost because we tried to bring trans and immigrants etc etc into the tent”
    Reality: “We lost because were were nearly indistinguishable from our opposition and abandoned any policy that might benefit marginalized people at the expense of our donors.”

        Maybe not indistinguishable, but did a pretty poor job of presenting it as a real and meaningful choice. Tried to run a more or less “normal” campaign when the stakes were anything but. Didn’t acknowledge the failings and frustrations that had rightly been leveled at the Biden administration. Tried to run Kamala as a “Stay the course” candidate instead of a “Not happy with how things are going? Time for change!” candidate. Didn’t do a good job of being clearly FOR something of great value to the voter rather than just being defined by not being Trump.

        Mind you, I’m fully in the camp of voting like your life depends on it, every chance you get, but a political party can’t learn from their failures if they don’t honestly acknowledge them first.

          Remember her earliest speeches? They were very progressive. Something between 2-3 speeches were and after that you could tell she was “talked to” by someone. I wonder what that conversation was like.

    Ken Martin, the DNC chair who previously said he would publicly release a review of the 2024 election, said in a statement that the review was complete and that the committee was “already putting our learnings into motion”.

    So basically the results of the autopsy are damning to Ken Martin and his current ongoing strategy.

    The party was already implementing plans to address some of the issues raised, and releasing a retrospective report would take time and focus away from winning going forward, the official said.

    There is nothing to see here, move along, move along.

    probably cuz it found that supporting Israel’s actions in Palestine uncritically cost a lot of voters, as did not taking a stance on cannabis and student loans

    If the autopsy didn’t conclude “we should stop ignoring what the voter base wants and doing whatever the hell we want instead,” then it reached the wrong conclusions. Either the DNC got the autopsy wrong or they’re ignoring their own findings.

      I mean, if you fucked up at work and the result was an absolutely historic scale of devastation to the company as a whole because your group fucked up a critical project, would you want a public detailed report about how it all happened?

        When I fuck up, I’m expected to own up to it and learn from my mistakes. Trying to shift blame, withhold details or otherwise bullshit people who know I fucked up tends to piss them off even more. Refusing to accept accountability for your fuck ups is a cowardly move in any context.

    They don’t want to hear that the need to help the 350 million people that actually do everything that makes the country work instead of ignoring them and working for 2 dozen guys on wall street
