Democrats Belatedly Publish 2024 Election Autopsy Report

TheGuardian.com:

The Democratic party has belatedly published a postmortem on its disastrous 2024 election defeat, after an initial decision to withhold the document triggered an angry backlash. 

 

Ken Martin, chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), released the report – which fails to mention Gaza or Joe Biden’s age – accompanied by an apology to party members angered by his initial decision to keep the analysis of Kamala Harris’s loss to Donald Trump and defeat in both houses of Congress under wraps. 

 

Martin had initially declined to publish the report, authored by a veteran Democratic strategist, Paul Rivera. He cited a need to focus on this year’s midterm elections and avoid re-opening old wounds. The decision backfired, leading to a crisis of confidence in Martin’s leadership among senior Democrats and accusations that he was keeping the findings secret.

This autopsy got delayed because Black Democrat voters and their leaders in the professional race-baiter punditry/Democrats shill squad you see on cable news networks like CNN and MSNOW, don't want to be reminded of how much of an empty vessel and 2-time loser Kamala Harris is. That said, any autopsy that doesn't mention Gaza, Israel, a senile Joe Biden's decision to run for re-election, no Democrat primary or Harris' embracing Never Trumpers/warmongers like Liz Cheney on the campaign trail, shouldn't be taken seriously.

Jesse Jackson Jr. Rebukes Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden for Not Truly Knowing His Father During Memorial Service

FOXNews.com:

During his father’s memorial service on Saturday, Jesse Jackson Jr. offered a sharp rebuke of the tributes given by former Democratic presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, noting that the trio shared one thing in common: they didn’t really know his father. 

 

"Yesterday I listened for several hours of three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson," Jackson Jr. said on Saturday. 

 

The reverend’s son called out the idea that his father’s life wasn’t defined by the "political order," but by a commitment to those who were marginalized. "He maintained a tense relationship with the political order, not because the presidents were White or Black, but the demands of our message, the demands of speaking for the least of these — those who are disinherited, the damned, the dispossessed, the disrespected — demanded not Democratic or Republican solutions, but demanded a consistent, prophetic voice that at no point in time sold us out as a people," Jackson Jr. continued.

Of course, no one exploits tragedies better than Democrats, so no surpise here that Biden, Obama and Clinton would take turns and use Jesse Jackson's funeral service to attach Trump. The irony here, of course, is that Trump knew Rev. Jackson better than any of them, helped Jackson out a lot back in the day and genuinely seeemd to like the guy. There's also that time, back in 2008, when Jackson lashed out at Obama for not speaking to issues important to black people and while Jackson would later apologize to Obama for the remarks, after his passing, the irony of Jackson's often strained relationship with establishment Democrats isn't lost today.

Democratic National Committee Blocks Release of its 2024 Election Autopsy

Politico.com:

The Democratic National Committee is refusing to release its autopsy of the party’s major 2024 losses it announced on Wednesday, breaking Chair Ken Martin’s public pledge to do so. The decision underscores the party’s challenges in grappling with its electoral setbacks as it heads into what is expected to be a stronger midterm year.

The DNC’s completed post-election review of the party’s melodramatic and botched campaign cycle is based on hundreds of interviews with operatives in all 50 states. During that process, some Democrats raised concerns about releasing the findings, according to a DNC official granted anonymity to describe the sensitive process.

The DNC wanted to avoid another public debate over how the party lost the White House to Donald Trump, and instead, turn its focus on its recent successes, according to this official. Democrats have overperformed in special elections across the country this year, and won handily in New Jersey and Virginia last month. The committee previewed some initial findings from the autopsy to top donors and other Democratic stakeholders in October.

Once again, the Democratic Party seems determined to avoid accountability. In any serious endeavor (sports teams included) losses are studied, not ignored, because learning requires honesty. The DNC’s refusal to release its 2024 campaign autopsy out of fear of a “contentious reckoning” is precisely why it must be made public. Voters deserve to know why Kamala Harris lost every swing state, including her unwillingness to break from Biden or condemn genocide in Gaza. Burying the report signals the findings were inconvenient, especially on Palestine, and that party leaders would rather preserve the status quo than listen to their base. Any wonder why they're currently polling at 18 percent?

Ignorant, Entitled, Rich Woman Michelle Obama Says the Country is ‘Not Ready for a Woman’ President

CNN.com:

Former first lady Michelle Obama said at a recent event that the US isn’t ready for a woman president, pointing to former Vice President Kamala Harris’ unsuccessful bid for the White House last year. 

 

“As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready,” Obama said in response to a question from actor Tracee Ellis Ross on whether there has been enough “room” created for a woman president. 

 

“That’s why I’m like, don’t even look at me about running ‘cause you all are lying. You’re not ready for a woman,” Obama told Ellis Ross. “We got a lot of growing up to do and there’s still … a lot of men who do not feel like they can be led by a woman and we saw it.” Obama’s conversation with Ellis Ross took place in Brooklyn, New York, to promote her new book, “The Look,” which is about her approach to fashion and politics during her and former President Barack Obama’s time in the White House. The conversation was posted online on Friday.

Well, even tho I voted for Jill Stein last year, according to Michelle Obama I still must be 'sexist'. Oh wait, my bad, since Michelle O loves to do the identity politics thing, she must have also been alluding to the idea that anyone who didn't vote for Kamala in the 2024 election is racist as well. Gotcha. So if you voted on general principle or for the candidate that best represented the policies that you support and believe in instead of Kamala Harris--a vacuous, genocide-supporting candidate who offered nothing meaningful on living wage, healthcare, affordability, crime, jobs and illegal immigration and campaigned with a warmonger like Liz Cheney--according to Michelle YOU'RE the problem. With all due respect to the former 1st Lady: go back to your $15M estate in Martha's Vineyard and STFU. And maybe stay there until you're ready to be interviewed by a real journalist who'll actually challenge your whiny, elite ass.

Australian Reporter Calls Out Kamala Harris for ‘World-Class’ Dodge on Question About Joe Biden

Mediaite.com:

Things got a bit awkward when Sarah Ferguson, a TV reporter for Australia’s ABC TV, called ex-Vice President Kamala Harris out for a “world-class pivot” away from a question about former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline during a Wednesday interview. “Wasn’t [Biden’s] refusal to recognize his own frailties the reason that you faced a nearly impossible task?” Ferguson asked about Harris’s doomed 2024 presidential bid. 

 

Harris took the opportunity to bash President Donald Trump and avoided talking about Biden. “Donald Trump ran on a platform that was, in large part, I believe, misrepresenting his intentions to the American people,” Harris said. 

 

She said a “fair amount” of MAGA voters were lied to by Trump on inflation and other issues. Harris then said Trump’s “misrepresentation of intention” and “massive amounts of mis-and-disinformation” contributed to her loss, before Ferguson jumped in to point out she avoided the question. “Forgive me… I want to interrupt you, because that is a world-class pivot,” Ferguson said. “But it is not the question that I asked you, which is about Joe Biden’s failure to recognize his own frailties and what that did to you. The question is about Joe Biden. Are you still reluctant to criticize the former president?”

Always great to see Democrats pols outside the cushy confines of an MSNBC or CNN or the like, where they know that 9 times out of 10 they'll be peppered with nothing but softball questions that they can answer in their sleep. Props to Sarah Ferguson for doing some real journalism.

DNC Disburses $1.6M More to Settle Kamala Harris' 2024 Campaign Debts, Total Tops $20 Million

NYPost.com:

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is still paying off shortfalls incurred by former Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed 2024 election campaign — with at least $1.6 million paid out in September alone, according to the latest federal filings. 

 

The Harris campaign shelled out $1.49 million alone for media production and consulting, $106,312 for data services and $21,762 to rent space at a Grand Rapids, Mich. community center for an October 2024 event alongside billionaire investor Mark Cuban touting the Democratic nominee as the “pro-business candidate.” 

 

Last month’s payouts push the total debt covered since Election Day to more than $20 million, according to Axios, which first reported on the Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings.

All that money for a vacuous, DEI and Zionist candidate who campaigned with famous warmonger Liz Cheney and totally ignored working-class voters on the campaign trail and the Democrat part is still paying for their ass-backwards mistake.

Liberal Pundit Van Jones Forced To Apologize For Calling “Dead Gaza Baby” Videos A “Disinformation Campaign”

Deadline.com:

Van Jones is walking back recent comments he made about the casualties left by the Israel-Hamas war.

After appearing Friday on Real Time with Bill Maher, during which he referred to online videos of dead babies killed in Palestine as a massive “disinformation campaign” on behalf of Iran and Qatar, the CNN host apologized on social media.

“I made a comment on Real Time with Bill Maher about the war in Gaza that was insensitive and hurtful. I apologize,” he wrote on X.

Of course, context matters. And it’s also worth noting that Jones, though a staunch liberal, has a history of frustrating his own side. As he’s one of the few left-leaning commentators willing to speak uncomfortable truths and call out liberals when they misstep or lose elections. That said, watching the full Maher segment makes it clear that Jones had a point--there is occasional misinformation about the war in Gaza coming from the Left. And he wasn’t wrong to suggest that, for some “Genocide in Gaza” protesters, the movement can feel more like a social trend or a way to stay aligned with the in-crowd than a genuine act of activism.

The Running Mate Kamala Harris Didn’t Dare Choose...Because He's Gay

TheAtlantic.com:

As Kamala Harris rushed to pick a running mate last year, her “first choice” was her close friend Pete Buttigieg, but she decided that it would be “too big of a risk” for a Black woman to run with a gay man. 

 

Buttigieg “would have been an ideal partner—if I were a straight white man,” Harris writes in a passage of her soon-to-be-released book, 107 Days, that I saw. “But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man. Part of me wanted to say, Screw it, let’s just do it. But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk.” 

 

"And I think Pete also knew that—to our mutual sadness.” 

 

Harris instead selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and the two went on to lose to Donald Trump. Her honest recounting of that decision—much more candid than I usually see in political memoirs—highlights one of the core challenges facing Democrats, especially as they try to refocus their message ahead of the next presidential election, in 2028. After years of highlighting and celebrating the historic characteristics of their nominees

Buttigieg, Walz, whoever, it doesn't matter who Kamala picked as her running mate because she still would've lost to Trump. Why? Because she is and was always an empty suit, she campaigned with the likes of Liz Cheney, she never cared about working-class voters, she overplayed January 6th, she avoided tons of interviews on the campaign trail like a plague because she can't speak clearly without a script or in a non-friendly atmospheres, she was a DEI hire for VP to begin with who covered for Joe Biden's lack of mental acuity, she was horrible on border control, she had no Black agenda and that laugh was hated by any and everyone.
