    The fact that he promised to release it and now won’t tells us everything you need to know about what is in the report. They don’t want donors to see this and they don’t want the electorate to see this.

      Eh, it’s a lot of “If you stupid hippies keep complaining about Palestinians being mass murdered and taxpayer money being thrown at for profit companies then we’ll let MAGA beat the everloving shit out of you and everyone you care about for a few years and see if you’re more agreeable,” a little “Holy fuck that is depraved and we need to kick you out of our party somehow,” and a lot of “Yeah, look, that is depraved, but we currently don’t have the votes to do anything about them, and organizing those votes would be a lot of time and effort, so please just shut up… but, uh, don’t forget to vote!”

    The DNC wanted to avoid another public debate over how the party lost the White House to Donald Trump, and instead, turn its focus on its recent successes, according to this official.

    So hide and ignore all the systemic issues while celebrating their “successes” (such as?) that only exist because Donald Trump is such a piece of shit. Basically they’re confirming that they have no plans to ever actually help the American people and instead want to keep shitty politicians like Trump around as much as possible because they act as a good foil against their own shitty, do-nothing leadership.

    Fucking wonderful.

    Edit: another gem further into the article

    “In our conversations with stakeholders from across the Democratic ecosystem, we are aligned on what’s important, and that’s learning from the past and winning the future,” Martin continued. “Here’s our North Star: does this help us win? If the answer is no, it’s a distraction from the core mission.”

    “Fuck ideology and principles. We only care about winning. If we think throwing every brown person into a concentration camp is the path to victory, we’re gonna do it. If we have to commit another genocide, we’re gonna do it.”

    Is this guy for real?

      TL;dr: we can be as gross as our donors demand, as long as constituents keep voting by agreeing the other guy is worse, even if the ongoing rightward shift positions us tomorrow where the other guy is today!

    lol. They think we don’t know. We know what’s in there because we were screaming it at them for years before the election.
