NEW YORK (AP) — Kamala Harris “wrote off rural America” during the 2024 presidential campaign and failed to attack Donald Trump with sufficient “negative firepower,” according to a long-awaited post-election autopsy released on Thursday by the Democratic National Committee.

The committee’s chair, Ken Martin, shared the 192-page report only after facing intense internal pressure from frustrated Democratic operatives concerned with his leadership. Martin had originally promised to release the autopsy, only to keep it under wraps for months because he was concerned it would be a distraction ahead of the midterms as Democrats mobilize to take back control of Congress.

Your memory is bad, or, more likely, propagandized.

Biden won the 2024 primaries. He should have admitted to himself he wasn't capable anymore, but he didn't.

By the time he stepped down the Dems had a little problem: they couldn't legally put anyone else on the ballot in a fair number of states. Or at least it would been argued in court they couldn't. Harris was literally the only choice available, unless they just didn't run a candidate in half the country, by virtue of being on the ticket already.

Yes, the Democrats are running a geriocracy and have been openly puppeting a fair number of senile senators for a decade so they probably figured they could get away with it again.

Yes, Biden and the people surrounding him fucked it up by refusing to acknowledge reality.

Yes, Harris obviously wasn't a good enough candidate.

You should probably put a little more effort into knowing what actually happened before complaining though.
