Autopsy? More like an AI-slopsy. Or with an otherwise equivalent level of effort and insight.

well, I guess Gaza had nothing to do with it then. The DNC has never led us astray before, am I right?
It's been said that this autopsy was so poorly done. It was just a single consultant, who submitted a half-ass report.
It was the most basic analysis you can imagine. How to Run a Campaign 101, if that.
It was poorly done to claim to have learn lessons that doesn't exists
It reads like that too.
I mean, it was just one of the most catastrophic electoral defeats of all time. Not a big enough deal to dig in to, I guess.

I mean no, it wasn't; it was average at most. Unless you just mean Trump is the worst president ever.
I think losing to a toddler is pretty catastrophic.
They felt the same way. It was AI generated and poorly edited.
Kamala is the best programmable robot the DNC has to offer right now.
edit: They're working on other models but the Kamala bot is, by far, the best generic robot they can produce at this point.
This report is one HUNDRED MILLION Percent Factual and you would UNDERSTAND that if you were one of their ~~Donors!~~ ~~Billionaire Handlers!~~ ~~Constituents!~~ People who VOTES for Them!
If your asking why they lost, I don’t think Israel or Gaza enters the picture.
Tell that to the people blaming leftists for losing the election.
Not sure if ironic or one of the dumbest comments I've read on this community
well lets think charitably here. Hasbara funding quadrupled recently. You cant really assume anyone supporting Israeli genocide is anything more than a bot or a paid marketing intern doing their sad job.
Or maybe you just exist in a bubble and can’t see out of it.
Between the Dems and the republicans, the Dems would have handled Israel and Gaza better than the republicans would have.
Furthermore, look at the “Most important issue” from the exit polling below. Note that foreign policy was 4%. People weren’t voting for Israel and Gaza.

Oh, yes, just look at how well the Biden administration handled it.
Bad is still better
Youre really out here glazing genocide Joe.

Calling him bad is somehow glazing. Ok bubble boy.
no. it was a great propaganda campaign by maga to paint kamala as a war hawk and claim that only maga would stop these wars. many leftists were swayed against kamala bc of the perception that she would also be a puppet of israel. the crazy thing is how well it works to paint Dems badly while republicans can just openly do exactly what they feared dems would do….israel had a LOT to do with the left staying home, dude.
True, exit polling doesn’t really capture people who stayed at home. But if you look at the poll below, it looks like the people that stayed at home were a little more in favor of Trump anyway.

I’d love to hear if there’s any real numbers that support this, or if it just feels right to you. I think most people cared about Gaza, but not more than gas prices.
Also, keep in mind that I don’t feel this way, I’m just saying this is the reality of US politics.
Ok. You got nothing. Later gater
4% is nothing
In terms of winning and losing, yeah it’s nothing. And Israel/Gaza is a subset of foreign policy.
And if you look at the Israel/Gaza specific question, 60% of people responding think our support of Israel is either just right or not enough.
In terms of winning 4% matters quite a lot. That is 8% to one side. Also imagine thinking "most important" means 100% of the reason a person votes.

If true, would this not indicate that american elections are meaningless and america has to be destroyed? Why care about the lesser of two evils in a pro-genocide country?
Who’s gonna do it?
Trump's been doing a bang-up job on it so far
While the Gaza war was a key issue for many Arab American and Muslim voters, particularly in a swing state like Michigan, Romman acknowledged that most voters nationwide and in her home state of Georgia were not listing Gaza as their top concern. Still, she said, the issue emerged as something of a smell test for the integrity of Democratic politicians hoping to sell their message to an electorate beset by financial insecurity and healthcare woes.
“For most voters, if you look at what was their top issue, it’s the economy — of course,” Romman said. “But if you want politicians that are going to put you first and implement the kind of economic issues that you need to have a better life, those are going to be the politicians that are not beholden to special interests. And so Gaza became a way to look for that.”
Yep. That wasn't a factor at all. It's maybe just a symptom of a factor.
Agree. Its why we are mad at them, but wouldn't make me vote in a way that would've gotten us where we are today...
