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.

    I can absolutely fault every single person who didn’t vote in either the primary or the general for giving up their voice.

    Oh no, baronvonj on lemmy “blames” me for Kamala and the DNC shitting the bed and running a candidate who wouldnt deviate from a platform with underwater approval rates and wildly illegal genocide support. eyeroll

    Please send me your thoughts and prayers, everyone. I’m in bad shape and I think about this all the time.

    /s

    On a more serious note, Ken Martin is an idiot and needs to be thrown bodily from the party.

      No, that’s a strawman, I never blamed non-voters for Kamala’s campaign or the DNC. I blame them for not voting because that made it easier for Trump to win, by lowering the number of votes he needed to do so. I do blame Kamala for her policies and her campaign managers for their campaign. But I accept that this is real life with real consequences and come election day it was either going to be Trump or Kamala announced as the winner regardless of those things, so I voted against Trump.
