Sometimes the jokes actually do write themselves.
Democrats hemorrhaged young voters in 2024, a stunning blow to a party that long insisted it owned that demographic. This was supposed to be their base. In response, the Democratic National Committee quietly commissioned an internal autopsy of the loss—then decided not to release it. That alone tells you everything you need to know. The report is reportedly so soft and self-protective that it risks further exposing the party’s dysfunction.
These postmortems are supposed to force hard conversations and uncomfortable reckonings, gang. That’s the entire point of them. Instead, Democrats appear determined to bury the evidence and avoid accountability, even as their coalition continues to fracture.
Burying the report to avoid offending the base isn’t just a disservice to voters—it’s an admission of weakness. It confirms a party more worried about hurt feelings than winning elections. Politics isn’t therapy, and successful movements don’t tiptoe around failure.
Even without seeing the report, its conclusions are obvious from the Democrats’ recent behavior. Rather than rethinking their message, they want to copy what works on the right: youth activism operations modeled after conservative successes, effectively a Democrat-branded version of Turning Point USA:

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) unveiled a new effort to improve its standing among America’s youth that it believes will translate to electoral success in the 2026 midterm elections.
In an exclusive interview with Newsweek, New York State Senator James Skoufis announced creation of the DNC’s National Youth Coordinated Table (NYCT), which he will chair. The group consists of the Young Democrats of America, the College Democrats of America, the High School Democrats of America and an array of left-leaning organizing groups.
By creating this group, Skoufis believes the DNC will better align its priorities with the desires of young voters and improve its approach to communicating with them. The effort represents the first time the DNC has brought these organizations together under one committee. Together, they will draft a formal strategy that the DNC plans to endow with future resources.
“This is an effort to break down silos,” Skoufis told Newsweek. “All of these various youth organizing groups aligned with the Democratic Party have often sort of done their own thing, but this is the first time that we’re looking to bring everyone under one umbrella to maximize efficiencies, make sure we’re not wasting resources, we’re not being redundant, and that we’re all rowing in the same direction with best practices.”
Silos are the Democrats’ ‘thing.’ That’s how authoritarian-minded movements operate, and we’ve all seen what happens to those who step out of line or—heaven forbid—express a dissenting view. For a party that claims inclusivity as a core value, it’s almost comical that liberals still insist they’re running a “big tent.”
In reality, today’s Democratic Party is dominated by affluent, college-educated white elites clustered in urban cultural hubs and along the coasts. Its agenda is openly exclusionary, even as it lectures the rest of the country about tolerance. And if “National Youth Coordinated Table” is the best branding they can come up with, good luck fostering any real dialogue.
It sounds less like a movement and more like a bureaucratic committee no one asked for. Horrible.
