Why the Democratic Party Can't Get Out of Its Own Way

from The Lonely Liberal · host Nick Zenkin

Last week the Democratic Party released its official autopsy of the 2024 election. 192 pages. No mention of Gaza. No mention of Biden's age. No mention of the debate. Not once. Nick breaks down what the document actually reveals — not about 2024, but about a Democratic establishment that preaches getting money out of politics while backing Cuomo over Mamdani, that cried about losing young men and then tried to cancel the one media figure reaching millions of them, and that tried to do exactly what MAGA Inc. does — pick winners, freeze out insurgents, enforce conformity — and lost to its own voters every time. Cassidy is gone. Massie is gone. Cornyn is gone today. Trump's machine works because it's aligned with its base. The Democratic establishment keeps failing for the same reason: it isn't.
