    Billionaire donors are complicit, maybe directly, maybe indirectly.

    The report: "Moving further right and chasing mythical unicorn Republicans who would magically vote for a Democrat instead of actually giving voters what they want doesn't work. Nor does supporting genocide without question."

    DNC: "....well we can't print that now can we. It's all our donors allow us to do. Get Cheney back on the line, we'll trot her out again and just try harder to get Republicans to vote for us!"

    Although if they wanted to get Republican votes, they could just start working for the working class instead of their billionaire donors. FDR won 4 times with insane margins.

    That will never happen so long as billionaires exist, though.

    The DNC is controlled opposition. A controlled opposition party would not act differently. The DNC does not seem interested in winning the next election if they cannot critically and publicly acknowledge why they lost 2024 (and 2016)

    Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it

    The Comprehensive 2024 Election Theft Fact Check is a well researched take on all of this. Have to admit that sharing it feels like a blue-Q type thing (Trump and the MAGAgats have done a great job poisoning the well when it comes to questioning election integrity) but if you can get through it all, it does line up with a valid take on the 2024 election.

    They still can't figure it out.

    I've said this in my other comments closer to the election but it bares repeating.

    Democrats lost for two main reasons:

    • they failed to energize their base
    • they didn't push Biden out fast enough

    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.

    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.

    lol. They think we don’t know. We know what’s in there because we were screaming it at them for years before the election.

    They know what the people want, but what the people want is directly in conflict with what the billionaires and Zionists who fund them want

    The DNC wanted to avoid another public debate over how the party lost the White House to Donald Trump, and instead, turn its focus on its recent successes, according to this official.

    So hide and ignore all the systemic issues while celebrating their "successes" (such as?) that only exist because Donald Trump is such a piece of shit. Basically they're confirming that they have no plans to ever actually help the American people and instead want to keep shitty politicians like Trump around as much as possible because they act as a good foil against their own shitty, do-nothing leadership.

    Fucking wonderful.

    Edit: another gem further into the article

    “In our conversations with stakeholders from across the Democratic ecosystem, we are aligned on what’s important, and that’s learning from the past and winning the future,” Martin continued. “Here’s our North Star: does this help us win? If the answer is no, it’s a distraction from the core mission.”

    "Fuck ideology and principles. We only care about winning. If we think throwing every brown person into a concentration camp is the path to victory, we're gonna do it. If we have to commit another genocide, we're gonna do it."

    Is this guy for real?

    TL;dr: we can be as gross as our donors demand, as long as constituents keep voting by agreeing the other guy is worse, even if the ongoing rightward shift positions us tomorrow where the other guy is today!

    So they're planning to make the same mistakes again.

    The fact that he promised to release it and now won't tells us everything you need to know about what is in the report. They don't want donors to see this and they don't want the electorate to see this.

    Eh, it's a lot of "If you stupid hippies keep complaining about Palestinians being mass murdered and taxpayer money being thrown at for profit companies then we'll let MAGA beat the everloving shit out of you and everyone you care about for a few years and see if you're more agreeable," a little "Holy fuck that is depraved and we need to kick you out of our party somehow," and a lot of "Yeah, look, that is depraved, but we currently don't have the votes to do anything about them, and organizing those votes would be a lot of time and effort, so please just shut up... but, uh, don't forget to vote!"
