The Democratic Party is conducting an “after-action review” following their 2024 election loss, but it will surprisingly bypass an examination of their presidential campaign strategy. The review, led by strategist Paul Rivera, will not analyze key campaign decisions such as whether President Biden should have sought re-election, or messaging choices made by the Harris campaign. Instead, the report is expected to concentrate on outside spending from supporting organizations and super PACs. Party officials have stated that the review intends to focus on voter behavior and how to improve the party’s future, specifically by shifting away from traditional advertising and towards organizing.

Walz: ‘We wouldn’t be in this mess if we had won the election’
This statement, while seemingly obvious, reveals a deeper truth about the current political climate. It’s not simply a lament over a lost election; it speaks to a broader failure of messaging and a disconnect between the political establishment and a significant portion of the electorate.

This finding underscores a critical issue in the electoral process: the importance of informed decision-making.
It’s a striking outcome, given the extensive media coverage and readily available information concerning Kennedy’s stance on various issues. The fact that many voters only formed a negative opinion *after* learning of these views suggests a concerning lack of prior research and engagement with the candidates’ platforms. It’s a point frequently highlighted in post-election analysis, highlighting the potential consequences of uninformed voting.… Continue reading
