"This is the untold story of the autopsy that won’t die."
I'm reading "Author of Democrats’ 2024 Autopsy Says Party Left Out Key Chapter/A dispute over the chapter between the author and the Democratic National Committee has added to the party’s turmoil as it tries to look forward, not backward" (NYT gift link).

The author thinks the Russians influenced the election. Idiot.
"What democrats now have to accept is no matter the circumstances, the party should be strong enough and capable enough to elect anyone - the proverbial ham sandwich, if necessary. Because republicans have now proven they can nominate [an] elect a convicted felon."
Sure, Jan.
If the Dems can't cheat on the same scale in 2028 as they did in 2024, they will lose.
As the Senator from MI said, the Dems need to cheat to win.
Just tell the truth.
The report could have been boiled down to one sentence: “We should have listened to Dean Phillips."
Ken Martin should resign for lack of a strategic vision, tactical acumen and sheer incompetence. In the current climate, Democrats should be eviscerating the Republicans. The data on the Democratic brand approval lies at the feet of the DNC
Exactly, Eye double E. The DNC has no plan. They just like to bitch complain and smear,, half of which is directed to their own voters and political operatives.
There are apparently some ideas that the Democrats still can't afford not to pretend not to know. It's a secret: Joe Biden shouldn't have insisted on running again. But don't tell anybody.
Read this NYT story this morning. Every time I hear someone lament Trump, I ask: What is wrong with the Democratic Party that they could not defeat him, even after January 6. This article starts to get at an answer to that question. Love the emphasis on the consultants who gained "gernerational wealth" advising the Democratic Party. Remember in Charolotte's Web, when the spide weaves a web that says "Some Pig" and the farmer looks at the pig, Wilbur, and sees him as a remarkable pig. And his wife suggests that perhaps it is the spider that is remarkable? When people keep looking at Trump and ask why, they should be looking at the Democratic Party, and asking how could it lose to Trump.
I mean, criminey: ...'“That is false,” Mr. Martin said. “This alleged report section was not in any binder I reviewed.”...'
People are complaining that they left out a key chapter, and this dope insists on calling it 'alleged', because he can't bear to admit it exists.
My favorite part is then the Times writer says, "In 2019, Democrats had a very broad nominating process resulting in the nomination of Joe Biden in early 2020."
Except for when they didn't. The Times clearly missed the 2020 Democratic Primary where Bernie Sanders was poised to win the thing and Jame Clyburn arranged South Carolina to be a massive Biden sweep. Then the DNC circled the wagons arranging the Biden candidacy in the following primaries.
We all saw this.
The Times follows that up by stating that Trump's "mishandling of the pandemic cost him the Presidency". Well...not sure who didn't mishandle the pandemic outside of Ron DeSantis. The Dems were all in on shutting things down and encouraged Trump to do it, to demand those things mandated, and used Fauci as the right religious icon at the right time to get it done.
Here's the story: The nation moved dramatically away from Democrats in the 2024 election. Of this there is no question. The question now is whether moving further left, becoming declared socialists/communists/anarchists/antisemites will win the hearts and minds of those who left...or not. It becomes whether the hatred of Trump and all things Trump is greater than the fear and loathing of socialists/communists/anarchists/antisemites. I don't have the answer to that one. I thought I would have until these past few years. At this point, I'd say America is up for grabs. And until Americans show me otherwise, this could go either way.
Completely missing from the "missing chapter" is any reference to illegal immigration (or whatever euphemism the Democrat think tanks use for it). "Bidenomics," aka out-of-control inflation, was barely mentioned toward the end. These people don't think that the reason the dogs won't eat the dog food is because it is bad, but because the advertising for it is bad. They believe in "messaging" over "policy," which was why they lost in 2024.
I think he created it after the fact to make himself look better. Why wouldn’t he have emailed it? Why wouldn’t the party have released it with the rest?
"Donald Trump rode down the escalator, destroyed the Republican establishment, and won election with the Democratic implosion in the battleground states, supercharged through Russian interference and disinformation - and election meddling by the Comey FBI."
Why would they conclude this in a supposedly honest, introspective, autopsy? Can't they just say Hillary was a terrible campaigner and horrible, unlikable, unelectable candidate? And where is the part about how they railroaded Bernie in the primaries, sapping any potential energy? This doesn't make any sense.
And please forgive me for thinking they're talking about 2016, not 2020. What did any of the paragraph I quoted have to do with 2020?
"What democrats now have to accept is no matter the circumstances, the party should be strong enough and capable enough to elect anyone - the proverbial ham sandwich.."
Francesca Hong? I'll believe it when the votes are "counted"
One man did the autopsy? But no one is interested in podcasting him!
“These people don't think that the reason the dogs won't eat the dog food is because it is bad, but because the advertising for it is bad. They believe in "messaging" over "policy," which was why they lost in 2024.”
Yep… not the only reason, but one of the biggest.
…here’s the thing- Tump is good at Presidenting. His skill set in his private business is essential to succeed in politics. That doesn’t change because you don’t like him…
“Why would they conclude this in a supposedly honest, introspective, autopsy?”
This here. This ‘extra’ chapter of a claimed autopsy correlates with the bullet points distributed by their political strategists. Funny that…
“In the current climate, Democrats should be eviscerating the Republicans.”
How ANYONE can write that knowing the Democrats’ record of abject failure in nearly every meaningful component of things affecting honest, productive American citizens is absolutely amusing.
They cannot introspect when honest introspection will reveal policy holes you can drive 60,000 illegal Moroccan invaders through. Admitting every leg of your policy table is termite-ridden means revealing your policy is just "we hate Trump". Everyone smart already knows this, but their voters are not smart.
Just remember: Democrats claim Trump is inbred Hitler, drooling at the mouth and worse than Biden, corrupt, blah blah blah. OrangeManBad! is all we've heard for over a decade now. The worst person to have ever lived!
And.... they still can't beat Orange Hitler/Satan without massive fraud, rewriting the election rules, a worldwide pandemic, and more. They haven't even been successful at killing him, despite numerous attempts to do so.
Just how bad of candidates do Democrat have that the nation is saying "I'd rather have Orange Hitler than the Democrat, thank you!"
Save that shit for Democrats’ demographic of wild-eyed, frothing-at-the-mouth, ne’er do well jackalopes to choke down.
The dems sure do like to lie to themselves.
"Democrats claim Trump is inbred Hitler"
For every Southern conservative democrats slime as inbred, there's actual cousin-fuckers running under their flag in Maine.
The pure projection party.
From the introduction:
“Here is the section that the author of the Democratic Party’s 2024 autopsy says was missing when the Democratic National Committee released a draft of the overall document in May. The party denied ever receiving the chapter.”
In other words, the Democrats don’t bush lie to the voters. They even lie to each other. Or should I have written that they ESPECIALLY lie to each other.
I got your autopsy right here
ICE watch. People willingly train to harm, intimidate and harass ICE and Police agents. That IS the democrat party
"What democrats now have to accept is no matter the circumstances, the party should be strong enough and capable enough to elect anyone - the proverbial ham sandwich."
They tried that at least twice. With the mysterious COVID votes, it worked out for them. The second time, the dogs saw that the sandwich was too far gone and they wouldn't eat it.
From the (allegedly missing) chapter:
“There was a barrage of garbage "polling" from the right, claiming a "red wave" in opposition to
Joe Biden - yet the "wave" never materialized because it was never actually real.”
The polling was accurate, but in 2022 the NRCC was in the hands of Tom Emmer, who would need to cheat on an IQ test to get himself up to 3 digits.
More Democrat Party corruption.
Never forget the corrupt left under crook puppet Joe let in millions of illegals. Without illegals - the dems would die.
NYT probably won’t publish this one:
“All the hullabaloo about Democrat troubles are nonsense. This is the Party that put a mentally unsound man in the White House in 2020 with a record number of votes. This is the Party that opened our borders to millions of undocumented, unvetted immigrants. This is the Party whose elite won’t tell us, “What is a woman?” This is the Party that nominates and elects socialists nationwide. This is the Party running our cities into the ground. And much, much more. Yet, this Party still leads in generic polls. This might be because the media runs cover for them with 90%, or so, negative stories about the other guys. Or maybe their voters simply don’t care what they do. Or maybe Trump, Trump, Trump (Really?).
Here's my advice to dems that you won't read anywhere else: You guys are relying way, way, way too much on the idea that voters just want a candidate "who cares about people like me." All things equal, sure, I'll take a candidate who cares over one who doesn't. But what I really want is a candidate who has policies that make sense. For example, you can't let 10 million unvetted illegals into the country and yet earn my vote nevertheless because you come across as someone who "cares about people like me." Because not everyone is retarded, and not everyone is looking to government as a substitute for having good friends and a loving family, you need to satisfy me, the American voter, that you will be pursuing policies that actually hold some promise of improving the country rather than things that are evil and harmful but are presented by someone who "cares."
For an election autopsy, it sounded pretty polemical to me. It just seems to be another refusal to accept or even consider that the dogs don't like the dog food.
I got about halfway through. Reads like an AI was told to analyze American electoral politics based solely on watching every episode of "The View." Yeesh.
More autopsy right here

How democrats and their base operate
Makes me miss Hunter S. Thompson. A 2024 “Fear and Loathing” would be great.
Why won't the GOP ban the left's programs to give drivers licenses to Illegals?
total insanity.
When I saw the headline, I thought it was about the autopsy of the wife of Dr Jill's 1st husband. First autopsy revealed no foul play. 2nd autopsy is locked up tighter than a tick. Which is, incidently, how tightly Bill Robinson is locked up, on $2mm bail.
"Never fuck with a Biden" - Joe Biden
BTW: Fun fact from following the story, Bill Robinson is a member of the Delaware Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Betcha didn't even know there was such a thing.
John Henry
Obama's people said -- 'Not one vote was shifted by the Russians in 2016.'
And yet they continue to lie.
The Russians, Iran and the Chi Coms all want Trump dead. Just like the corrupt democratic power brokers, and their antifa thugs.
While we all know votes were shifted to Biden in 2020... with weeks long "counting" ballot box stuffing with untraceable no chain of custody ballots... etc.
Wow, that linked work…. Wow, it is amazing how close the DNC came to putting their finger on the problem only to dance around it. This is the paragraph I think key; “Democrats defunded the 50-state model championed by Chair Howard Dean into an alternative program called Organizing for America, which did organize for the Obama re-elect, but less so for the Democratic Party as a whole.” I think it is key from the book written about Hillary’s failed campaign, which also told us from the beginning that “Russia Collusion” was a Democrat operation. I guess many Democrats failed to read that book and therefore believed their own press.
DNC Platform:
Hate Trump! Russia Russia Russia! Jan 6th! Abortion! failed reflection pool! death to all who do not obey the left. Men in women's sports - and private spaces! DEI skin color wars! end merit based everything! Destroy education! Rip off tax payers for learing centers! Defund the police and ICE! Allow illegals to drive and vote - and give them free stuff!
Lie about everything! Lie about COVID harm!
The NYT spends way too much time talking about the drama of he said/he said around a chapter being missing. What they really need to spend 99% of their time talking about is the substance of the chapter, including the fascinating observation that leading Dems missed it because they are all (the ones who set and run POTUS campaigns) very very comfortably well off. One comment in the chapter is about how after the Obama campaign with its OFA grassroots organizing strategy, the Dem Party after 2012 took OFA and then basically disbanded it, thus hurting Dem grassroots for years to come. Ben Wikler makes the same point in his new book.
I got about one quarter of the way through it. Prolonged exposure to delusion on this level is neither amusing nor edifying.
"Completely missing from the "missing chapter" is any reference to illegal immigration (or whatever euphemism the Democrat think tanks use for it)."
They don't have a euphemism. They call it "The Plan (Shhhhhhh!)"
It must be galling to Democrats to see the Native American support for Trump. Clearly it's time for more celebrities to make declarations about living on stolen land.
The Dems allow social decay and social breakdown
Reminder - this jackass could have been our VP.
*shiver*
Sad. The article states that the two concerns of voters are: 1. Does the candidate share my values 2. Does the candidate care about people like me.
What happened to JFK’s “Ask not what the government can do for you…..”? I want a candidate who will do the greatest good for the greatest numbers for the longest period of time. I will try to take care of myself.
I think that three things are obvious about the 2024 election. First, Kamala Harris was not a good candidate and a lot of Democrats were turned off by the way she was selected to be the nominee. Second, The Harris campaign spent way too much money on things that didn't produce actual votes. Third, they focused on issues that only appealed to a small percentage of voters. They didn't have an articulable plan for running the country.
The Harris/Walz ticket was the most embarrassing ticket in history. Absolute incompetence and foolishness. Both way over their heads. Every intelligent person knows this, yet they almost won. All the Dems need to do is find a reasonably intelligent and capable person and they can win. The Republicans have layers of such people, but they still need the Dems to screw up in order to win. In 2024, they screwed up.
Illegal immigrants VOTING - IS still the left's plan.
The missing section criticized Biden's decision to run in 2024?
Is there another missing section that criticizes his decision to run in 2020?
Isn't it obvious that a record like Biden's won't get a president or a party reelected? It's obvious too that bringing a new candidate, burdened by what has been, into the race a few months before the election wasn't going to work either. It's also not surprising that the section of the report that's critical of party consultants didn't make it through the party and its consultants out to the general public.
Per Grok, Ken Martin is paid $350,000 per year as head of the DNC.
The Black man he replaced was paid $177,000.
Ever since the daughters of democratic bigwigs started marrying into hedge fund families ...
Behind the scenes, the real autopsy is discussing how to get the cheating back to 2020 levels and getting the media to edit interviews more effectively without getting caught. This stuff here is just cover.
…they don’t need the illegals to vote they beed them to occupy leftie controlled areas so they are counted in the census and lefties get more seats in congress. They control the vote in blue places so as long as there’s no election integrity measures they’re good.
"All the Dems need to do is find a reasonably intelligent and capable person and they can win."
"Win" meaning get to within the margin of fraud. But that said, is there a "reasonably intelligent and capable" Democrat with a snowball's chance in hell of getting the nomination? Right now, three of the top four candidates in betting markets are Newsom, Harris, and AOC. The other is Ossoff, who, like Shapiro and Rahm Emanuel, is Jewish and therefore doesn't stand a chance.
" ...is there a "reasonably intelligent and capable" Democrat with a snowball's chance in hell of getting the nomination? Right now, three of the top four candidates in betting markets are Newsom, Harris, and AOC."
After the White House Correspondents' dinner and Trump's honest, although unflattering comments, the Democrats asked if this is really what our country has come to. No self- reflection about the kind of people they are putting forward as leaders, and potential leaders of the free world. They can't be trusted with any decision and the voters better reign them in before it's too late. Even the rational Democrats see this disaster for what it is.
James K. You forgot Mayor Pete. He is leading the others in several.polls.
What really struck me was the chart on internal Dem party polling showing Biden at 39, 34, 41 and suchlike numbers. I mean that is very, very far from the polls I saw.
Then, the autopsy asked whether the wealthy people who run the Dem party could really understand the anxieties of most American; and answered, probably not. Then there were tons of statistics showing a steady drift away from the Dems. This went with the theme: do the wealthy understand. So all of this shows why the Dems are grabbing onto the DSA. The Dems think the DSA has crossed the wealth barrier and come up with a message the people want to hear. Yet the Dems are also trying to be Normies and to present themselves as middle of the road. (We know, of course, that these faux normies will go hard left likeas soon as they get in power but the Dem voters, TDS-diseased, Fauci supporters as they are, may not know this fct about their own party.)
I think that socialism is going to fail very publicly because those it will bring to power are lazy and greedy. Their "plans" are vaporware. There's no one who will do the work to make the plans effective. Those who aren't just outright too lazy to work, will be working to steal from HHS.
Over there in the Dem party, they're all Somalis now. How much damage will they do? Look at Covid.
bagoh20 said...
yet they almost won.
No, they didn't. They lost every single swing State. The lost the national vote, despite all the "late arriving votes" in CA.
And their own pollster admitted / claimed that they never led in any of their polling.
They sucked, and they lost
"They sucked, and they lost"
They got 75 million votes. More than anybody in history other than Trump in 2024, unless you also count the Biden 2020 fantasy.
It was far closer than it should be in a sane nation.
It was a much clearer choice than the previous elections that resulted in real landslides that even dominated deep blue states. We no longer have rational voters capable of changing party when it's obvious one isn't serious.
Guys. We're still probably going to lose. Because the DSA is on the ascendant, God help us all, and their "platform" of "Yay! Free stuff thanks to new taxes on evil billionaires!" is a lot more compelling than "Let's all exhibit fiscal responsibility, accept some temporary higher prices in the interest of bringing home critical manufacturing, and learn the basic economic lesson that TANSTAAFL" - regardless how true the latter statements are
The ONE thing James Carville was absolutely correct on back in the day remains true now: it's the economy, stupid. And regardless of the fact that Republican economic and fiscal policies are the ones that lead to growth and prosperity, they're too slow for an election year. So how do we counter "Yay! Free stuff! Down with evil billionaires"?
"They didn't have an articulable plan for running the country."
This has been my husband's complaint about the Republicans. I counter with the contention that they HAVE a plan, but can't get it in front of the public because Democrats still control essentially every mass media outlet. He counter-counters with, "Remember how they said they had a plan to fix healthcare? Where is it?" I triple-counter with, " Well... they made providers publicize their prices, and are offering discounted drug pricing, and are working on fraud in the system..."
And he, quite correctly, says, "It won't be enough."
He depresses the heck out of me sometimes, but he's a clearer thinker than I am.
