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.


Voting 3rd party at the state and federal level in a district without some form of RCV or an encumbent 3rd party representative is pretty much a counter-productive to giving greater political power to your preferred end of the political spectrum. It’s just lowering the number of votes the opposing end of the spectrum needs to win because of our first-past-the-post plurality winner-takes-all system. Yes, I know it’s a corrupt system working as designed by those in power. Quoting myself from another thread where included sources for all this:
For county and below, have at it. If your state/federal rep is already 3rd party or independent and not getting trounced in public approval, keep them. If your district has RCV, definitely support 3rd party. but in the other 99.5% of districts, voting Green at state and federal level is just making easier for a Republican to win.
Cry harder or push your shit ass party to earn some fucking votes because none of what you wrote means a damned thing.
Voting in the primary is exactly how we can most effectively do that.
You can choose to ignore observable facts all you want, but that won’t change the reality of them.
The primaries they simply decided not to run. You are a simp for an intentionally broken system.
Ah, so full circle ignoring that there were, in fact, primaries held (albeit with two states not including the presidential race on their primary ballots, which as I already said, fuck those guys). I do wish there had been serious challengers to vote for in that race.
