We just lost to Donald Trump for the second time.
What else do we have to lose?
We might as well give the transparency of our vote to our voters of what actually happened here.
But here's the problem.
Our party is addicted to losing.
Our party, and what I mean by that in particular, is that people like Hakeem Jeffries, people like Chuck Schumer, people I would argue like Ken Martin as well, would much rather keep basically everything as similar as possible to keep themselves in their own positions of power, whether it's in the Senate or in the House or the DNC or wherever else it is, instead of actually addressing who we are as a party.
To get us into a governing majority.
Because if we want to win back the White House, if we want to win back the House, if we want to win back the Senate, there is no pathway to doing that without winning back young Americans that historically have voted for Democrats.
And if we don't offer them something new and don't just change our messaging, but change who we are and address our courage problem as a party where we're just constantly afraid of our own shadow, we're not going to change that.
I mean you're talking about the iron law of institutions where your status within the institution is more important than the status of the institution within the broader ecosystem.
I think that the Democratic Party weirdly –
discounts uh authenticity and honesty as a virtue and a value that voters might respond to and this is a perfect example of just we don't want to be honest with ourselves let alone honest with the rest of the electorate about our own failings
And it just breeds this notion that you have something to hide.
And it becomes a bigger problem than if you just rip the Band-Aid off and say, yes, this is why we had a problem and we need to be honest about this.
Yeah, I mean, just release the damn report.
Who knows how much of an impact it really will even have to begin with.
But if you're going to say you're going to release it, and we know we have a trust problem in the party, just release it.
We're already at rock bottom.
Just show us what happened, right?
Like, how much worse can it get?
