Despite a pledge from DNC Chair Ken Martin to release the post-election report, the committee announced Thursday it would not share it publicly.

I’ve said this in my other comments closer to the election but it bares repeating.
Democrats lost for two main reasons:
They didn’t have much control over the second point. Biden was holding onto power like every other president until other party leaders turned on him.
But DNC fully owns the first point. 2024 saw the same playbook as 2016: at least I’m not Trump.
That worked in 2020 because Trump was president. But the DNC failed to deliver any lasting and impactful change during Biden that everyday Americans could point their finger and say, “I want more of that.” Instead, Biden delivered mediocre “stay the course” programs, which given the Republican Congress, was a miracle but it doesn’t win you elections.
The DNC report probably blames Harris for being a woman and probably puts blame on genocide issue voters and will, undoubtedly, learn the wrong lesson again. They are going to keep moving to the right despite clear evidence that the American people want a government that works for them, and not a government they merely tolerate.
If you want change in the DNC, we need to form a new party. The perfect time is to start now, before primaries are underway for midterms. Have progressive candidates sign on as Democrats, pledging to support a progressive party if enough representatives win. If the DNC complains that they are splitting the vote, progressives should clap back and say they are bowing to fascists.
This is the core point: not being Trump shouldn’t be the only reason, but it should also have been enough of a reason not to risk the spoiler effect. Doing this now, before the stakes are so high that the spoiler becomes unacceptable, is a way to test the waters, set the stage and give non-voting progressives a reason to vote.
Biden was the only thing that stopped concecutive trump terms. Imagine in a good candidate like Mamdani was running instead of that fucking turd Harris.
Absolute nonsense, anyone would have beaten Trump in 2020, and the four years of Biden failing to hold Trump accountable or help the working class at all (while braying like a jackass about how great the economy was) totally handed the White House back to the orange asshole. He is without a doubt one of the worst presidents we’ve ever had.
How about Hilary or Harris?
