EarlG, I believe the moment has arrived to convene a Postmortem forum for 2024

This discussion thread was locked by EarlG (a host of the General Discussion forum).

It appears that the General Discussion forum has recently been dominated by internal conflicts, conspiracies regarding election fraud, and similar topics. Additionally, I have been summoned for jury duty significantly more often than in the past, as the number of cases has markedly increased.

A postmortem forum was conducted in 2016 following Clinton's defeat. It seems appropriate that some of the more contentious topics, such as the reasons for our loss, be addressed in a 2024 Postmortem forum.

It’s a road to NOWHERE, utterly unproductive and too painful to watch.
