The controversial, and until now secret, Democratic National Committee autopsy of the 2024 election failure in which Democrats lost the White House to Donald Trump and control of Congress to the Republican Party was published online Thursday after it was obtained CNN.

For months, progressives have been agitating for the DNC to release the document, which was alleged to contain damning findings about the manner in which former Vice President Kamala Harris and her team ran the campaign, with a sharp focus on the issue of the genocide in Gaza.

According to CNN, the “version of the report–better known as the 2024 autopsy–was written by Democratic strategist Paul Rivera. The DNC withheld the report until presented with CNN’s reporting about much of its contents. The copy published by CNN includes annotations in red that the DNC added to its version of Rivera’s report.”

CNN said it did not modify the report in any way and that it “does not vouch for the accuracy of any statements within the report or the DNC’s annotations.”

Here is the document, as first posted by the CNN:

The DNC Autopsy of 2024 the DNC Didn’t Want You To See

In a statement to CNN after being informed the network was in possession of the document, DNC Chairman Ken Martin said, “After last November’s massive Democratic wins, I didn’t want to create a distraction, but by not putting the report out, I ended up creating an even bigger distraction. For that, I sincerely apologize."

      I love how some of the notations say source not provided/conflicts with publicly available data while others just say source not provided. It’s like they are saying “you’re not wrong but you didn’t provide citations so it doesn’t count!”

      its also basically a junk report. doesn’t even cover how harris’ collapse due to isreal/palestein. they were probably told to avoid it in the analysis.

      it also barely touches on the fact if you looked at harris’ campaign she literally had nothing substantial to offer anyone.

        It pretty much avoids policy positions entirely. It sparingly mentions any public policies, and certainly avoids any foreign policy. There is no way that’s not deliberate.

        She had things to offer, that was keeping the ratchet going. AIPAC has been beating the drums of going to war with Iran for decades now and I doubt Harris would have been able to ignore it.

      We need a level 2 autopsy to understand how the fuck such incompetent people ended up in positions of power.
