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 genuinely wish I did, but I’m equipped with a turd paddle, same as my fellow citizens. ✊🏼
I’m gonna have to remember ‘turd paddle’
“Up shit creek” and all that.
Isn’t that how the ol’ idiom goes, or does it differ regionally?
Regardless, it’s a handy one to have in the archive. 🤓
oh I’ve always heard it “up shit creek without an oar.” When you said paddle I was thinking like table tennis. 😅
Ha! I like that spin on the adage! You’re at one end of the table, looking down the barrel at the opponent’s wind-up and realize you’re about to attempt to return with that.
