The report details problems that plagued the Democratic Party in the last presidential election, including messaging that "created tensions with key constituencies" on the economy, late-arriving efforts to organize voters on the ground, a lack of alignment between the party's main super PAC and then-Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign, and more.
So, just where the --- is anything in there about "Israel," "AIPAC," etc.

Jesus on a popsicle stick, how often have we been subjected to the b*llsh*t story about how "anti-war" protests cost Kamala Harris ... California.

Yep.

There are those here who claim that "anti-war" protests turned California to Trump.

Throughout the month of October, 2024, the Trump campaign (and associated entities) spent $300,000,000.00 on ads in all 7 swing states during televised NFL and NCAA football games. The topic of all of those ads? Then-CA Attorney General Kamala Harris' 2019 response to a question about a Trump administration dictate on gender-affirming (read: trans) care for federal inmates

And the amount of money the Harris campaign spent countering those She's for They/Them ads in the swing states during NFL and NCAA football games? You know, to point out the truth that she was simply responding to a question about a Trump administration dictate on gender-affirming for federal inmates? To counter the deceptive, the lying-by-omission ads run by Trump & company?

Zero dollars

The efficacy of this strategy was born out election night, 2024, when Steve Kornacki was calling individual counties (starting with Pennsylvania) and highlighting that the Harris/Walz ticket was falling short of votes as opposed to the votes in the 2020 election for the Biden/Harris ticket. His reporting was, in effect, a death by 1,000 cuts for Harris/Walz.

Trump & company knew that all it would take would be the suppression of Biden votes in 2024 by just a point or two for Trump to carry those counties, all 7 swing states and, ultimately, the election. They judged, correctly, that men - men of color and white - would be turned off enough by the "pro-trans" Harris that they voted for Trump, or didn't vote at all.

Either way, mission accomplished.

Kamala Harris lost because of the moral bankruptcy of the American electorate

She lost to a conman, felon, rapist insurrectionist liar.

It should not have been close

Due to the moral failings of the American people, no democratic candidate would have won.

Because Americans are: Stupid, Venal, Willfully Ignorant, Bigoted and Hateful

If you can't tell what Piggy is within 1 minute of listening to him your critical thinking skills suck.

But Americans had years of him.

And chose him anyway.

America deserves the destruction that he is reaping.

To be clear all this autopsy and navel gazing is about messaging.

if we did that or said this, Americans would have voted differently.

this is patently ridiculous.

No candidate who rants about eating cats and dogs and concepts of a plan for healthcare and promises of retribution should EVER have a chance at the presidency.

No candidate so singularly ignorant on every topic and singularly arrogant that he is the smartest person in the room. So OBVIOUSLY ignorant, so OBVIOUSLY a liar, so OBVIOUSLY malicious, with a fifth graders vocabulary and the expression of a greasy used car dealer should ever have had a chance.

No this is not about Gaza, or transgenderism or Biden's age or AIPAC or distancing from Biden or inflation.

It is about an electorate who couldn't look at Piggy and realize that he should never be allowed to gain the presidency, let alone for a second time.

A country that stupid, that hateful DESERVES the collapse of our nation that is coming.

You asked for it, you get it.

---- that, America has become evil. Evil needs to be expunged.

I remind you we are aiding and abetting a genocide. We are aiding and abetting pogroms and land grabs and torturing children.

That is evil

We started an unjustifiable illegal war of aggression by assassinating a country's leaders with a cowardly murderous bombing that killed infants.

We did that during negotiations, without declaration without warning. TWICE

That is evil

We are killing Venezuelan fisherman on a regular basis

That is evil

We have put an illegal embargo of oil on Cuba resulting the deaths of children. There is no justification for that. There is no reason other than some Miami Cubans want to get rich with Cuban real estate.

That is ------- evil

America is doing this.

We are not stopping Piggy from doing this

Trump hammered Democrats on transgender issues. Now the party is at odds on a response

By Bill Barrow and Marc Levy

NOV. 14, 2024

-----

ATLANTA (AP) " After losing the White House and both houses of Congress, Democrats are grappling with how to handle transgender politics and policy following a campaign that featured withering and often misleading GOP attacks on the issue.

There is plenty of second-guessing after President-elect Donald Trump anchored his victory over Vice President Kamala Harris with sweeping promises on the economy and immigration. But Democrats also will not soon forget the punchline in anti-transgender Trump ads that became ubiquitous by Election Day: "Kamala is for they/them; President Trump is for you."

When the problem is an American electorate so devoid of morality as to hate an infinitely small number of people that they don't know, that have zero power and have zero negative influence on society.

A person so full of hate and compassion and so stupid to think that a transgender person has any impact on their lives is too stupid and to evil to make an ethical/rational choice

People need to wake up to the fact that the regressives have won. We are witnessing the death of liberalism.

Regressives have been fighting for centuries to turn back the concept of representative democracy and equality. They want a return to the aristocracy. they firmly believe that some are inherently better than others and are inherently, divinely ordained to lead.

We are witnessing the death of representative democracy.

For the first time in 250 years the SC stripped a right from half of Americans. This court has stripped countless liberal policies from our governance, the latest of which is the right to representation. This court has made the President a king in all but term limit (and we will see where that leads)

That is the death knell of liberalism. The individual's right is no longer supreme. Liberalism is being replaced with oligarchy and autocracy.

The regressives are plotting and planning to turn our country into a one-party rule. We should all be terrified of the radical gerrymandering underway. that is a path to one party rule. Making the House work like the Senate where entire states have one party representatives and then complete control of the districts will INEVITABLY result in 1 party permanent representation on the state level. When a state has all it's districts as one party and that party controls the state there is literally nothing to stop that permanent control of the districts through gerrymandering.

That is just another nail in liberalism's coffin.

So, spend all your energy debating trans or gaza or inflation.

When representative democracy is being stripped from you and your vote will no longer matter.

As an aside, my vote hasn't mattered my entire life. I live in a blue district in a blue state. My vote has never had any sway over president or policy.

They are extending that concept to the rest of the country1

Liberalism is a political and philosophical tradition centered on individual liberty, the consent of the governed, equal rights, and the rule of law.

It is the essence of We the People...

It is the essence of representative democracy.

It is the essence of the declaration of independence and the consent of the governed.

this is what the regressives are fighting.

They are striving for a defeat of this system of governance.

They are striving for an aristocratic society-be the aristocracy wealth, race, gender.

They do not believe in universal rights or universal suffrage.

those are anathema to their essential beliefs

And they are winning.

The SC literally have found that the President cannot be held accountable for any crime he commits.

That is power that kings would be jealous of.

That is certainly and decidedly NOT liberalism

It is aristocracy.

This SC stripped women of a right they had for 50 years.

That is unprecedented. That a right, a critical right was just discarded.

That is not individual liberty, it is the state dictating what a woman can do with her body.

They have trampled on trans rights, essentially making them unpeople.

They have dismantled African American rights to representation. that certainly isn't the consent of the governed.

These actions are central to what they are attempting.

And this gerrymandering fight is terrifying in it's long term implications.

The one saving grace I THINK is that representation is by people so more populace areas should have more representation. But if the south has zero democratic representatives will that be offset by blue areas? IDK.

I do know that that chaos in the system runs counter to good governance and the rule of law.

She lost because she's a she... she would have been the first female American Pres (other than GW!) EVER.... when a much more popular, and qualified, Hillary Clinton couldn't win against the same blowhard racist billionaire who LIED with every other breath to people who WANTED to be lied to.

AND if the race were re-run today, he'd still come in a close second, if not first, thanks to all the white nationalist dumbasses out there who would rather suffer whatever comes than do anything that also helps people who don't look like them.

from the above link:

"The results highlight the power of framing in political messaging.

The mere feeling of losing is not enough to shift economic policy preferences toward the conservative end of the spectrum. A person has to feel that they are losing out relative to another specific demographic group.

The researchers suggest that explicitly mentioning racial minorities might make white Americans feel skeptical about government programs. These voters might assume that they will not personally benefit from redistributive policies to the same extent that minority groups do.

This dynamic helps explain why populist leaders frequently rely on group-based rhetoric. Stoking fears of relative decline appears to be a highly effective way to mobilize opposition to egalitarian economic policies."

There are a few quotes in the article that apply to multiple Dem rags to riches to rags cycles:

The report also stated that a "persistent inability or unwillingness to listen to all voters has provided the other major party with opportunities for advancement at the expense of Democratic growth, evolution, and ability to find common ground with seemingly disparate groups of voters from coast to coast, and the heartland Democrats tend to ignore."

Most important IMO:

The report also criticizes Democrats for relying too heavily on Republicans to "nominate deeply flawed candidates," adding that "regaining trust and confidence in the party" and giving voters an "affirmative reason to support Democrats" will "take a comprehensive strategy and considerable effort over multiple cycles."

If the second can be heeded and short term gains not squandered with immediate gratification and too hard an immediate turn left at the expense of bread and butter issues, there's a chance.

I'm just not too confident it will happen.

Democratic Party Problems Identified

* Loss of trust among working-class and rural voters. (there's more professors in the UAW than car assemblers nowadays.)
* Weak state-party infrastructure after years of underinvestment. (the consultant class drive really nice Mercedes though)
* Overreliance on national presidential campaigns.
* Poor messaging consistency. (blame shifting doesn't work for either party, it's weakness)
* Failure to connect with male voters and non-college voters. (they're watching Tony Hinchliffe tell Puerto Rico jokes and having a laugh)
* Excessive focus on urban/suburban coalitions. (the burbs only want to visit the urbs occasionally, not live like them)
* Weak engagement with irregular/new voters. (have we tried depression support groups? has to be candidates there)
* Heavy dependence on anti-Trump messaging instead of positive vision. (the constant apocalypse preaching isn't exactly positive. try some Talarico.)

Lets analyze all of these Retort headlines, in the context of Democrat Party problems.

Does this site attempt to fix any of it? Or is it a microcosm of systemic party problems? Lets explore further!

What can we identify, just looking at the current headlines on both the front and back page.

1) The Base Content Is Extremely "In-Group" Coded
2) The Curated Front Page Softens Tone " But Not Strategy
3) The Editorial System Is Optimized for Engagement, Not Persuasion
4) Missing Working-Class Emotional Identity
5) Hyper-Online Culture Leakage
6) The Front Page Accidentally Confirms the "No Positive Vision" Critique
7) The Curators Understand the Problem Better Than the Userbase
8) The Ecosystem Incentivizes Permanent Emergency

The backpage/frontpage split reveals three separate Democratic ecosystems operating simultaneously:

1. Grassroots emotional ecosystem
2. Institutional curation ecosystem

3. Missing ecosystem

The one the report argues Democrats need:

optimistic
working-class
identity-expanding
future-oriented
patriotic without embarrassment
masculine-inclusive
economically tangible
locally rooted
emotionally aspirational

The report essentially argues Democrats cannot rebuild durable majority support if ecosystem #1 continues to dominate the emotional center of Democratic political culture.

That is how our elections work, whatever the mechanics.

Not voting is a choice

Not having a mass movement rejecting his candidacy is a choice.

Not shutting the country down with a general strike is a choice.

Where are the mass protests?

Where is the general strike?

Where are the calls for congress to take action?

Why did the democrats surrender when they actually started winning the shut down in November?

The American people have allowed our power to be taken from us for nearly 50 years. We are reaping the rewards, and our options are becoming more and more limited.

But that does not change the simple fact that Piggy should not have been elected in a working democracy, in a country with any sense of right and wrong.

Be it actively supporting such evil or apathetically choosing social media over voting or choosing ignorance over protests we are all complicit.

That is a simple fact.

Again, the election should not have been close.

that it was is not due to Harris, or Gaza or inflation, those were just the talking points. the problem is a populace so devoid of compassion and critical thinking as to vote for piggy over a normal human being. Anyone with critical thinking skills should hear a man stand on a debate stage and say Haitians are eating cats and dogs and think this man should be in a mental hospital. Enough people couldn't even draw that simple conclusion. And more people just said "oh well" and didn't vote. And more people are fighting whether Bernie or AOC or Tom Bombadil would have won in place of Harris.

that is the problem. if it weren't the topics that were the excuse it would have been something else

Until we solve that problem our democracy is doomed.

The structure of our federal government is currently set to permit, to only permit, the irrational minority to rule.

That is a problem that needs to be fixed.

  3. Have Congress vote overwhelmingly to increase the size of SCOTUS to 13 or 15; also, force those Justices with 30 or more years on SCOTUS into "senior status."

In the landmark 2010 Citizens United v. FEC decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the government cannot restrict independent political expenditures by corporations, labor unions, and other associations.

The court found that political spending is a form of protected speech under the First Amendment.

Key Details of the Ruling

Unlimited Independent Spending: Corporations and unions can spend unlimited amounts of money on political advocacy (such as television ads or mailers) as long as the spending is "independent" and not directly coordinated with a candidate's campaign.

The First Amendment Argument: The majority concluded that the identity of the speaker (a corporation vs. an individual) does not strip away First Amendment protections, and that independent spending does not inherently corrupt the political process.

Direct Contributions Remain Banned: The ruling did not overturn existing laws that prevent corporations and unions from giving money directly to individual candidate campaigns.

Long-term Impact

Rise of Super PACs: The ruling paved the way for the creation of Super PACs, which can raise unlimited funds from corporations, unions, and wealthy individuals to influence elections.

Increase in "Dark Money": While the court upheld transparency and disclosure requirements for donors, it enabled organizations to funnel money through certain non-profit groups that are not required to publicly disclose their contributors, leading to a surge in undisclosed campaign spending.

The McCain-Feingold Act, formally known as the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA) of 2002, is a major federal law designed to regulate the financing of political campaigns in the United States.

Key Provisions

Ban on "Soft Money": It prohibited national political parties, federal candidates, and officeholders from raising or spending unlimited, unregulated "soft money" donations, which were previously used for "party-building" activities.

Cap on "Hard Money": It increased the limits on regulated, publicly disclosed "hard money" contributions that individuals can donate directly to candidates.

Electioneering Communications Restrictions: It barred corporations and labor unions from using their general treasury funds to pay for broadcast ads that mentioned a federal candidate within 60 days of a general election or 30 days of a primary.

Legal Challenges

The Act immediately faced intense legal battles. In the landmark 2010 case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court ruled that the Act's restrictions on corporate and union independent expenditures were unconstitutional, citing First Amendment free speech rights. This decision paved the way for the creation of Super PACs.

It's the same circular argument. The DNC can't get enough liberals to show up on election day.

Liberals will tell what you want to hear during a poll. They'll express their liberalism if you ask the right questions. They'll make you believe they reject many conservative policies and favor liberal policies.

And this is what generates so much optimism for the democratic party prior to elections. It's why all the data predicts democratic party victories.

And then..........the turnout isn't high enough. And the results aren't what was predicted.

And then......an autopsy report is generated confirming what we already knew. The only thing this report does is generates arguments amongst the more left leaning liberals only to be in the same place they were before they started the argument.

Elections have outcomes. Most people don't seek to burn the country down when they don't get their way. They refocus, introspect and seek better candidates for the next round. In the meantime they go on living their lives without constant hyperventilation.

Literally none of this applies to MAGA.

They tried to overthrow the election they lost.

They stayed bogged down in their own faux victim complex.

They stuck with the same objectively awful candidate.

They spent four years under Biden hyperventilating and refusing to follow their own advise to leave since they didn't like it here very much.

All Roads lead To Jerusalem.

Both Parties Applaud Netanyahu every Time he Addresses Congress.

They Compete at who can be more Ostentatious about It.

Some Members of Both Parties are not like this but most who are get Primary Challenges that are Massively Funded by "Obscure" Donations.

The Secret Money.

Is noticing this Antisemitic?

How do we End this?

Especially since even Noticing is Enough to End a Political Career?

Even Private Citizens have to "self censor" themselves to avoid the Accusations of "Hating the Jews"

Everyone said Russia Meddled but that was Okay.

Why is Criticizing Undue Influence Antisemitic if it's True?

When Criticizing Russian Influence is Totally Acceptable?

There is no Russian Equivalent to AIPAC.

Except Lewser's personal Corruption.

Which has gotten him quite far as he is more Loved in Israel than Any Israeli Politician.

Trump could move to Israel and be Prime Minister.

That's the Problem.

Not Noticing it.

"I'm not Participating in the Elections.

Nobody in either party represents me.

If that helps the Republicans, I don't give a shit.

I'm not voting for people who help Killers.

It's that simple.

Israel effectively installed Trump.

They Meddle and it's Working beyond their Wildest Hopes.

Is this another Antisemitic Trope?

What if it's True?

Does that make it less "Antisemitic"?

Or More?

How is my Participation going to change anything?

If any Vote is Automatically a Vote for Israel First?

Gimme an Anti Israel Candidate to Vote FOR.

Someone willing to Cut them the Fuck Loose.

Got anyone in mind?

Mr. FRIEND.

You don't participate and you don't get a nice little "I voted" sticker.
