A source who participated in the research said the report's author seemed to grasp that Gaza "clearly" hurt Harris.

The 192-page report, authored by a Democratic strategist and first published by CNN on Thursday morning, goes in-depth on several factors found to be detrimental to Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign in its ultimate loss to Donald Trump. Despite the contention within the party over then-President Joe Biden’s support for Israel’s genocidal campaign against Palestinians in Gaza, however, the war doesn’t get a single mention.

Also missing from the document are the words “Israel,” “Palestine,” “Arab American,” and “Muslim.”

A spokesperson for the DNC declined to comment on the omission of anything having to do with Gaza…

    i hope that these images continue to haunt the internet for generations to come so that future liberals can have a chance to learn how morally bankrupt their predecessors had been.

      And so that if a reckoning comes within our lifetimes, if they ever try to claim they were “always against this,” we will be able to confront them with the evidence to the contrary.

        ignore what i have to say if you don’t want to read a “debbie downer” comment:

        i don’t think that this will ever happen and i explained why in a previous comment i made:

        maga is just a tiny subset of a much larger western liberal cult that encompasses every single person you’ve likely ever met or will ever meet.

        it’s one thing for individuals or even groups of people to be intentionally misinformed via indoctrination and by (seemingly to them) questionable sources. but when it’s on a global scale — where the narrative dismisses the information provided by the very ones who created the misinformation — that’s something on a whole other level that i don’t know how to digest.

          I get it. I tend towards pessimism myself, but I’m trying to hold onto hope - if not for myself or even my generation, then for humanity generally.

          Sometimes I want to fancy myself very smart, but I have chosen to believe that I am not special in my ability to realize the truth. I know I wasn’t born a communist, and I think that’s the case for most of us here. It’s true that the populace is heavily indoctrinated, and it’s tempting to write them off after seeing the scope of the problem. We have our work cut out for us, but as material conditions shift, people’s cognitive dissonance will become untenable. We just need to be able to point people in the right direction when the time comes.
