The release of the long-awaited 2024 election autopsy report threw Democrats into a nosedive on Thursday, with liberals questioning the veracity of the document and calling on the DNC\u2019s top official to resign.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Buried inside the report were some brutal admissions about former Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic brand, and the party\u2019s growing disconnect from average Americans. The autopsy painted a picture of a party<\/a> unable to listen to all voters, consumed by identity politics and led by a candidate \u2014 Kamala Harris \u2014 who failed to connect with young men, Latino men, irregular voters, rural voters, and working-class Americans.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe either adapt to the changing conditions of the arena, or history will leave us behind,\u201d the report stated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Notably, the autopsy made no mention of former President Joe Biden\u2019s advanced age or the lingering distrust voters felt following his disastrous debate performance. Plus, the document repeatedly undercuts itself in real time with editor notes and annotations like \u201cNo evidence provided,\u201d \u201cAnalysis not supported,\u201d and \u201cContradicts public reporting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAn autopsy is a medical procedure you do over a corpse, and now it sounds like we need a malpractice attorney because we couldn\u2019t even do the autopsy correctly,\u201d Congressman Jared Moskowitz (D-FL)<\/span> said on CNN<\/span><\/a>. \u201cWe lost the last election, it wasn\u2019t close, ok?
