"The Democratic National Committee's decision to block the release of its own autopsy report on the 2024 election is stunning but not surprising. Averse to unpleasant candor, the Democrats' governing body functions more like a PR firm than a political organization devoted to grassroots capacities for winning elections. The party's leaders pose as immune from critique, even if they have led the party to disaster."
"But the DNC is proceeding as if there's nothing to be learned from the tragic debacle of 2024 that its leaders don't already know and they don't need to share their purported wisdom with anyone else. In early December, the DNC featured Kamala Harris as the keynote speaker at the semi-annual meeting of its 450 members. Predictably, her formulaic speech received a standing ovation."
The Democratic National Committee blocked release of its autopsy on the 2024 election, demonstrating reluctance toward unpleasant candor and institutional accountability. The governing body operates like a public-relations firm rather than a grassroots electoral organization. Party leaders present themselves as immune from critique despite responsibility for the electoral disaster. The DNC remained aligned with the Biden-Harris establishment throughout 2025 and declined to probe missteps that enabled Donald Trump’s return to the presidency. Kamala Harris received a standing ovation as keynote speaker despite recent incoherent responses about Biden’s fitness to run. Valuable autopsy findings would confront internal decisions, candidate selection, consultant spending, and advertising allocations.
