I keep hearing that Gaza cost Kamala but I’ve still never seen any real evidence to support that. Sure I can get behind it cost her MI based on Dearborn Heights and Hamtramck voter tallies. But I’ve not seen evidence it cost her PA, NV, WI, GA, AZ.

This is why the DNC needs to release their 2024 autopsy

I personally think it was more than Gaza (I voted for Kamala btw) but her response to Gaza really embodies a lot of the major issues with her campaign.

I think it was much more Americans believing Donald Trump would be good for the economy than anything.

I completely agree with that and I do think it still hurt her with key demographics. I just don’t think it was the issue that sunk the campaign.

The economy/inflation is based off what I’ve seen consistently been the #1 issue across the states and was the issue that led so many suburbanites (especially suburban women) to vote Trump.

So just a handful of DNC elites actually know the results and they just expect democratic candidates and voters to just go along with “trust us, we know what’s best even though we lost so thoroughly last time” instead of being able to come to their own conclusions?

Once again, why trust the DNC to come up with “workable guidance” instead of letting candidates and voters come to their own conclusions. The DNC is not exactly trustworthy at this point, and this decision does nothing to help

I mean for what it’s worth we know for a fact more Bernie supporters in 2016 voted for Hillary than Hillary supporters voted for Obama in 2008 yet it doesn’t stop the center of the party from blaming Bernie supporters for Hillary’s loss in 2016. you’re kind of pulling a pot calling the kettle black rn.

Saying we need to move on from an absolute disaster of an election against a deranged Donald Trump doesn’t signal that you care. And you’re right there are plenty of studies but the most definitive thing that could put it to bed would be the autopsy and would be a win for transparency which yes I think we’re owed. My problem with ppl like you is you care more about protecting the team then fixing the root issues that’s holding the team back. You’d rather look good than actually be good.
