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.

This is bad, but for completely unexpected reasons

I thought they withheld it because it identified issues with the democratic platform that would put them at odds with donors, but instead it's a half-assed opinion piece scratched out on toilet paper and riddled with errors and no evidence to speak of

Third-Way and other neo-liberal rags are claiming victory over this pile of shit - I'm happy to let them roll around in it by themselves
