When the Democratic National Committee at long last released its “autopsy” report on former Vice President Kamala Harris’ loss in the 2024 election in May, one of the most puzzling aspects was the lack of any conclusions related to her and former President Joe Biden’s support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Holly Otterbein of Axios reported on Thursday that the document’s author, Paul Rivera, did indeed look into the issue of Gaza and found it had a role in Harris’ loss. But he did not submit the findings to the DNC for inclusion in the report. Axios did not include an explanation for that decision.

    If Ken martin was so out of touch that he didnt recognize that genocide support played a role in the last election then why is he qualified to lead the DNC at all? And if we are to pretend that he only just now has the clue that it was part of the lost election ,why isnt he saying so and working on it, hrm? He created a task force and called for unrestricted aid. Thats him trying to take both sides rather than addressing the issue like his voters want. You cant have it both ways givesomefucks. Either it was a key reason for the loss and needs to be addressed with real action, or its wasnt an issue in the last election. Which is it.

    Martin knew the entire time that gaza was an issue. He just doesnt want to lose aipac donations. And that is the reasons dems lost and will continue to lose, despite your cheerleading on the sidelines. Your opinion here wont lead to election wins. I dont know how many lost elections you and the DNC need to see to understand this. No genocide, no zionists. Period.
