G. Elliot Morris: “But the biggest problem is that the autopsy straight up ignores the major reasons Harris lost in 2024. Yes, it’s bad enough that the report doesn’t mention that party bosses failed to coordinate an early exit for Joe Biden, who was too unpopular to win. And there is no mention of Israel/Gaza, low turnout in the cities, and nothing on Harris’s race or gender. But this is a data-driven site, so I want to really focus in on what the numbers can tell us.”

“When we boot up the data, it’s obvious the main reason Harris lost — and the reason I am going to explore here, at this website, it being a data-driven website — is that 2024 simply had too much inflation-induced anti-incumbent sentiment for the incumbent party to overcome. This is curiously missing from its main diagnosis. The word ‘inflation’ isn’t mentioned in the autopsy a single time.”

with both parties. It goes along with the malaise that the American dream is fading.

But smart enough to figure out a person who passed the Bar was better than a thief and felon.

What is mentioned, how much Misogyny and racism was going on towards Harris?

Anything in the report about why the DNC trusts the voting process so much, even though fishy things happened in pretty much all the swing states.

Have not read it and most likely won´t

The chances of Trump winning all the swing states just barely outside of a mandatory recount amount is about the same odds of winning the powerball Multiple times !

bothered to read the DNC navel gazing, browbeating, self-flagellating (aka let's kick our own azz) report, besides which, aren't autopsies usually reserved for dead things? Nope, haven't read it, and prolly won't.

I wonder... is/was there such a thing as a Republican autopsy report? If so, guess I missed it.

Though I do recall seeing a Republican double down report somewhere.

(insert sarcasm thingies here.. and here...)
