The 192-page report, authored by a Democratic strategist and first published by CNN on Thursday morning, goes in-depth on several factors found to be detrimental to Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign in its ultimate loss to Donald Trump. Despite the contention within the party over then-President Joe Biden’s support for Israel’s genocidal campaign against Palestinians in Gaza, however, the war doesn’t get a single mention.
Also missing from the document are the words “Israel,” “Palestine,” “Arab American,” and “Muslim.”
A spokesperson for the DNC declined to comment on the omission of anything having to do with Gaza…
It does not even need to be a top issue, but you cannot deny that it was an issue.
It is indeed interesting that they did not mention this topic at all. If the issue was actually insignificant, I would expect it to be mentioned to clarify it.
A proper post-mortem would have done a factor analysis of some kind, and then analyze the relationship between those factors. But that might lead to identifying root causes that make them uncomfortable, such as the glaringly evident fact that their donors’ objectives are in opposition to those of a large subset of their voters.
