The long knives started coming out, at least in private, even before polls closed Tuesday night. A lot of Obama operatives like Jim Messina had been off-put by Low-Energy Joe's campaign even before he got pushed aside. Then, when Clueless Kamala / Hollywood Harris took over, and basically, even with the problems of a short campaign, took the skeleton of Biden's campaign staff, sprinkled it with a little DNC fairy dust, went recruiting Republicans, and quite probably had a worse ground game than some #BlueAnon were alleging Trump had pre-election, that heated up.
Last Thursday, Philly DNC head Bob Brady hammered hard, and also reiterated Dementia Joe being pushed out.
Harris spox Brendan McPhillips hammered back harder:
“The Pennsylvania for Harris team knocked more than two million doors in the weekend leading up to Election Day, which is two million more doors than Bob Brady’s organization can claim to have knocked during his entire tenure as party chairman,” McPhillips wrote. “No serious person can say they have an answer to what caused nationwide trends in the electorate less than 24 hours after polls closed. If there’s any immediate takeaway from Philadelphia’s turnout this cycle, it is that Chairman Brady’s decades-long practice of fleecing campaigns for money to make up for his own lack of fundraising ability or leadership is a worthless endeavor that no future campaign should ever be forced to entertain again. The thousands of dedicated staff and volunteers on the Harris campaign should be applauded for their efforts in the face of an unprecedented campaign, and will no doubt be the ones who are going to dust themselves off and get back to work.”
Meanwhile, both Biden and Harris let more Gazans get killed, even if that wasn't a primary reason for Harris' el foldo.
Please, more of this circular firing squad. Please, enough of it that Democrats finally look at the shitty shape they're in and the self-inflicted reasons for that.
Sadly, I'll have to bet 400 quatloos that doesn't happen.

The two alleged party leaders won't do that, either. Biden and Harris acolytes are too busy shivving each other, and their opponents' bosses by extension.

Chief shivver? Someone who knows how to wield it well, Nancy Pelosi. She blames Dementia Joe for not dropping out sooner, so that Harris, or whomever, could be primary-vetted.
“Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race. The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary. And as I say, Kamala may have, I think she would have done well in that and been stronger going forward. But we don’t know that. That didn’t happen. We live with what happened. And because the president endorsed Kamala Harris immediately, that really made it almost impossible to have a primary at that time. If it had been much earlier, it would have been different.”
But? Why does nobody blame Delaware Joe for breaking his one-term plan (technically not a promise) in the first place?
==
The Ax, David Axelrod, calling today's Dems a "smarty-pants, suburban, college-educated party"? Gee, weren't they already moving that way when your boss, Dear Leader, was in the White House?
==
If I see one more Dem apologist, or national media pundit, say something to the effect of "Maybe American exceptionalism isn't totally true," I'm going to fucking barf. We leftists have always known that. And, your statements are pretendian, anyway; they're premised on "those" Merikkkans being not so noble, not you.
==
Ed Buckner on the cluelessness angle, flying his freak flag. You're a secularist/atheist, and supposed to be some sort of skeptic, and you think Kamala ran a good election? AND that she was "ambiguous" on Gaza? I'd already been thinking about unsubbing, and this may have been the final straw.
==
As for the future? Beyond "deep depression," Axios gets it right otherwise. A Veep who was, if not a DEI hire, someone who walked, talked and quacked halfway like one, especially after Biden promised on the campaign trail to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court? She can't be the party's leading voice and won't be. Dementia Joe won't be for obvious reasons. Dear Leader? Harris didn't listen to him; Team Biden, rightly, wrongly, or in the middle, found him and his alums to be condescending. The Slickster and Madame Hillbot? Yesterday's news, and an inflamer of the Gaza issue.
