@NickyFrank30 Thread is full of people who very likely torched the DNC for not releasing it now complaining about what it says. Extremely funny bit

Yeah this is pretty much what I heard the autopsy, to the extent it was done; said.
I’m sure this will satisfy everyone who demanded it

DNC Chairman Ken Martin released an incomplete, unedited version of the 2024 election autopsy. ✅️ Trump's transgender-focused ad ("Kamala is for they/them") seen as highly effective and damaging; Harris did not shift position in response. —— ✅️ Report paints a dismal picture: Democrats have lost ground since Obama era due to stagnation, failure to invest in states/local parties, and inability to project strength/unity. —— ✅️ Criticizes Biden White House for not adequately preparing/supporting Kamala Harris (e.g., no polling on her like Jill Biden, poor defense against "border czar" label —— ✅️Faults overall Democratic effort for failing to effectively define or attack Trump, relying on assumption his negatives were "baked in" —— ✅️ Harris campaign criticized for taking too much for granted: over-focus on suburbs/college-educated voters, neglecting rural areas, and relying on "not Trump" rather than affirmative messaging or clear self-definition. cnn.com/2026/05/21/pol…

@ECaliberSeven Drop in the bucket compared what it’s going to cost to save Paxton’s butt
English
LOL. Silver lining for the GOP, they can stop burning millions trying to save Cornyn’s butt.
But lmao, with that, the man that has never led James Talarico in Texas Senate polls since January is effectively the GOP nominee.
Barnburner election is a go.
InteractivePolls@IAPolls2022
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump has endorsed Ken Paxton over John Cornyn in the Texas Senate race.
English
@showmeopie The thing that’s extra fucked about all this is that the people who give ex-Republican senators jobs are also MAGA true believers, so they’ll “forgive” the initial transgression that led to the loss, but won’t tolerate more. He’s got to stay in line to get another job.
English
TX Senate looking more in play. I don't expect it to happen, but if I were Cornyn I'd just drop out and start being a real Senator that checks the President.
Headquarters@HQNewsNow
Trump has endorsed Ken Paxton for US Senate in Texas. Paxton was impeached by his own party for bribery and corruption, said the Uvalde school shooting was God’s plan, and gave a child sex abuser only a 60-day jail sentence.
English
"but sir I voted with you more than 99% of the time" is so sad
English
@CentristMadness Same with his stance on Israel. Never shy about any of it, but he was against the Dem establishment or whatever. Happening again with New England Fetterman
English
@Fritschner @atrupar Yes, Aaron, but did you know Joseph Robinette Biden, the former president, was old.
English
Uhhh this seems like a pretty significant story
Samuel Larreal@samuellarreal_
NEW: President Donald Trump bought and sold millions of dollars worth of stock in tech companies and government contractors including Nvidia and Palantir. Some of those trades overlapped with regulatory decisions that were favorable to these companies. notus.org/money/donald-t…
English
@Wilson__Valdez She also lost by a lot less than the number suggests and faced a “I just voted against my party’s SC nominee” Collins. I don’t think “sincerely supporting Medicare for All as a working class Mainer” or whatever was enough. Like he praised Golden, but Golden is way more moderate!
English
His analysis seems pretty good, tbh. But again the one thing that nobody wants to mention (b/c it's apparently taboo) is race.
Maine is the whitest state in the country and Sara Gideon was not only 'from away' but a brown person.

Centrism Fan Acct 🔹@Wilson__Valdez
Everything I said in this thread is true and is still true. No matter how much people like the "Support Local Journalism" guy whinge about it. The main (no pun intended) reason he was able to survive having a literal Nazi tattoo is because of the state of Maine being so white. He would not have survived in a state like PA. No one wants to actually factor this into the analysis, because talking about race/bigotry is just uncouth to say.
English
Graham Platner is so smart that he could give detailed analysis of the 2020 Maine Senate race but also was so dumb that he had no idea what the tattoo on his chest meant until a few months ago.
That is the narrative that people are just told to accept. Ok then.
Eric Michael Garcia@EricMGarcia
Does… Graham Platner know ball?
English
Every distinction like this sounds like something made up by clever Federalist lawyers to effectuate Republicans winning all of the redistricting cases. Convince me otherwise!
Sean T at RCP@SeanTrende
So this isn’t what Purcell says and it gets confused all the time. Purcell says federal courts won’t *order* changes to state administrative procedures close to an election. It says absolutely nothing about states’ own abilities to change those procedures on their own.
English
@baseballot I know you’re sincere about better governance, but I’m asking you to think about whether Dem’s work towards fairness has done anything other than give Republicans an edge in the house when they decided to take the unprecedented action of redistricting mid-cycle to gerrymander.
English
@baseballot I’m also not seeing anything from you about Utah packing their court because the leg. didn’t like their ruling. Correct me if I’m wrong, but as it is you can’t just “expect better” from one side and hope the checks and balances check and balance.
English
This is not how checks and balances are supposed to work!!
Amanda Litman@amandalitman
This is excellent creative thinking on how to overturn the redistricting decision: Lower the retirement age of justices on the VA Supreme Court and whoosh, they all have to go. Appoint new judges, rehear case, get a different ruling. the-downballot.com/p/how-virginia…
English
@fawfulfan She’s also not super well liked across the state. He vote didn’t help, but I think a lot of this would have happened anyway.
English
Angie Craig has really just been fighting for her life in this primary ever since her critics made hay out of her support for the Laken Riley Act in the weeks before Trump took office.
After Trump's border agents took over Minneapolis, that just became poisonous on her record.

@TADStrange89 Seems like she’s taking an anti establishment lane for 2028 so regardless of what it says it helps her to criticize the DNC for not releasing it
English
I doubt this means Gaza had an impact .
It may mean she wants to claim Biden dropped out too late, but I personally think the reality doesn't match that to be honest and she benefited from the short period

English
@Wilson__Valdez @Brien_Jackson I think the Maine primary is the first hint, but it’s all going to be down idealogical lines. Like “Mills was too old, but Markey and Bernie are fine” nonsense. That’s for Dems, because Rs would vote for Trump until he was a thousand
English
@Brien_Jackson none. maybe that changes going forward but there has been nothing so far showing this
English
Actual voting results suggest this is not necessarily true.
Sir Humphrey 🇺🇦@bdquinn
Those margins. People really hate the gerontocracy.
English
@NickyFrank30 @fawfulfan @moonbeamer6 Yeah, if you look at the timeline it was clear that Mills didn’t want to do it and there was plenty of time for someone to hop in, but everyone else was scared of Collins.
English
@fawfulfan @moonbeamer6 Yeah, but they could've switched months before Mills ran.
There was an effort to get Jackson to switch when all the shit came out about Platner, and Mills was dithering, and he didn't want to.
English
Janet Mills was a pretty good candidate on paper, but she very clearly didn't even want to run and Schumer pushed her into it.
And there were other candidates in Maine who might have run if Mills hadn't cleared the field, so if Schumer's goal was to stop Platner, it backfired.
English
@d_h_sanders @CulRMartin Right, the argument is actually stronger for the idea that Americans were against Trump being prosecuted and re-elected him because “he must have been doing something right if the other party tried to prosecute him”.
That’s also unlikely because it was probably just inflation.
English
Something about this argument never made sense to me. Like, Americans were clamoring for justice but because Biden didn’t prosecute Trump hard enough they thought “oh well, Biden missed his chance, we’d better elect him again”
English
It seems out of touch to think all Americans saw Biden prosecuting Trump and thought “wow, his crimes were serious!” and not “he’s unfairly targeting his political opponent,” which is what the entire right wing information apparatus spent a huge effort putting out there.
Joyce Carol Oates@JoyceCarolOates
Biden did much to admire domestically but--& this is a mammoth "but"--his policy of attempting bipartisanship in a MAGA age, his reluctance to appoint an AG with the skill & temperament to prosecute the inciter of the Jan. 6 insurrection, to demonstrate to Americans the gravity of Jan. 6, has helped lead, or has directly led, us to the bitterly divided toxic fascist-adjacent/ oligarch-dominated country we are living in today.
English
If Brian Fitzpatrick loses (and it increasingly seems like he's in serious danger) his decision to largely toe the party line in a divided Congress will have been his undoing. In a House with a very narrow majority he's largely been unwilling to be a deciding vote against Trump.
English
@7bBitters @monkey_reg The reaction to the Virginia situation should be the final nail in the coffin that serious intellectual Republicans still exist. Liam is supposedly the poster child of these people and his whole feed is, “just because we punched you doesn’t mean you should punch back.”
English
@monkey_reg The basic premise that faux "moderates" like Liam can't directly verbalize is that objective fairness is entirely proportional to how much power Republicans are able to exercise.
English
Can someone explain to me why every district having equals parts rural, suburban and urban is UNFAIR? That sounds fair to me
Liam Donovan@LPDonovan
You can't help but tip your hat to VA Dems for the way they wrote the redistricting language. What, are you against fairness?
English
@TheLastNeocon @miltonfann Don’t disagree, but we’re not talking Bush hate among Republicans either. Will not have as much of an effect as you’re suggesting. It’s not “tons”, especially among the people in SC who are likely going to decide this
English
@mishbino @miltonfann Biden hate is much more common among Democrats than Obama hate
English
FWIW I think she is in a really bad position and her strength is actually a curse. Her most loyal supporters are disproportionately Biden loyalists and unlike in 2020 where there wasn’t anti-Obama sentiment, tons of Dems dislike Biden from both the right and the left.
Blank Slate@blankslate2017
I'm agnostic on Harris for '28 (and just about any candidate, really), but 1 advantage she may have is the ability to keep the far left in check, not be bullied by them, push back against them and win the primary. That might be necessary to persuade voters to vote Dem in a GE.
English
@miltonfann @TheLastNeocon Yes. Biden hate, like the Obama hate, is mostly an online thing, but the freaks on this site think online is real life. Biden is generally not popular, but the people who vote in primaries still view him positively, especially after Trump 2. Media coverage is a different story.
