An Autopsy on an Autopsy

I read the DNC report and wrote about it.

High inflation harmed the Democratic Party more than any other issue in 2024. In a just-released report for the Democratic National Committee on that year’s election campaign, the word “inflation” comes up 18 times. But every time, it is in the context of adjusting previous years’ campaign spending for inflation so that the numbers can be compared with 2024 outlays. The ruinous price increases that took place during the Biden-Harris administration do not get a mention.

That’s the report, instantly dubbed an autopsy, in a nutshell: nearly 200 pages obsessed with how Democrats spent money — not enough on strengthening state parties or digital ads, according to the report — and entirely uninterested in the issues that came between the party and a majority of voters. . . .
