    Nothing really major jumped out at me from my quick review other than how bland it was and how often the DNCs response was essentially “citation needed”. The main thrust of the report seems to have been that Harris underperformed with men compared to other campaigns involving Democrats, and that the DNC didn’t spend enough time running attack ads to discredit Republican candidates. The single most pointed criticism in the entire thing was one brief section near the end where it pointed out that Harris did a poor job differentiating herself from Biden.

      Yeah its not a particularly convincing report. I think we as lemmings could probably crowd source something together of higher quality and better reproducibility in a few days or weeks.

      Like the focus on one race as being the source of the performance gap is frustrating because it was ubiquitous and there is a real opportunity for a state by state district by district analysis there.
