As is their special talent, Democrats fumbled not just the 2024 national election, but also the political autopsy of mistakes made by party officials that led to their rejection by so many voters. Democratic National Commission Chair Ken Martin, who commissioned the after-action report, now claims that the clearly pre-publication draft of what he asked for “wasn’t ready for primetime.” Well, of course it wasn’t; whole sections, including the executive summary, had yet to be added. But the document’s real “flaws” appear to be highlighting the mistakes of a political party that thought it could ride to victory while spurning men, rural voters, effective communications strategies and anybody uninfected by identity politics. That’s just a bit more embarrassment than party leaders can swallow.
