It’s not surprising that a political party that botches the act of publishing a report, let alone one that cannot seem to bring itself to honestly evaluate its own electoral failure, would lose an election to one of the most intensely disliked Republican candidates in history, not once but twice.
The Democrats Are Determined Not to Learn From Their Failure
The DNC "autopsy" omits the biggest reason Democrats lost in 2024. In doing so, it fails to prepare the party for the future
A large and growing share of the electorate doesn’t think in terms of “left vs right” or even “Democrat vs Republican.” They think in terms of “the people running things are screwing me, so throw the bums out.” They are not persuaded by an ad explaining that the “opportunity economy” is a better plan than the “Trump economy,” because their objection to the status quo isn’t about specific policies — it’s about the status quo in general. A large portion of voters simply cast their ballot against whoever they perceive as being more a part of “the system” or “the establishment.” And this can be a decisive bloc!
Political scientists have been pointing out for decades that you can predict presidential elections reasonably well using just two pieces of information: how voters feel about the incumbent president, and how voters feel about the economy.
The real reason Democrats lost in 2024
Donald Trump’s political career is nearing its end, but the effects of Trumpism will be felt for decades to come. If Democrats want to present themselves as a convincing alternative to the post-MAGA Republican Party, they’re going to have to articulate what their political differences are. Progressive policy is increasingly popular among Democrats and the broader American electorate: universal healthcare, debt-free public college, AI regulation, and an end to endless war all rank as attractive policy planks with majority support. Any candidate running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028 should have this policy at the core of their platform.
Establishment Democrats Still Don’t Get Why They Lost in 2024

There’s no doubt, however, that Trumpism, with its implicit ethno-nationalist orientation that privileges white Christian Americans over Americans who are not one of those things, has proven more popular in rural places than the more diverse urban and suburban ones, opening up a rural-urban gulf that didn’t exist outside the Midlands (which for some reason has long been polarized in this way.) That trend continued this November, when Trump met or made new records for rural victory margins in nine of the eleven regions that have rural counties in them. In rural Yankeedom – which Obama won by 5.9 sixteen years ago – Trump beat Harris by a whopping 19.3 points. In the rural Midlands, which George W Bush won by 21 in 2000, Trump’s margin of victory was 44.6, four points higher than in 2016. His margin in rural Greater Appalachian counties, his margin was a staggering 55.6 points, triple that of Bush back in 2000. He won the rural Deep Southern counties by 34.6, more than double Mitt Romney’s 2012 margin and more than triple Bush’s in 2000.
