because, the paper said, &ldquo;In the aftermath of this comprehensive defeat, many party leaders have decided that they do not need to make significant changes to their policies or their message.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2 d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto;

if the party wants to &ldquo;win future elections&rdquo; and pointed to several specific areas that led to defeat last year. One was the failure to dump Joe Biden overboard sooner.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;[T]hey should admit that their party mishandled Mr. Biden&rsquo;s age,&rdquo; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/shocker-amazons-a-hypocrite-on-mail-in-ballots\/\" title=\"Shocker\u2013Amazon\u2019s a Hypocrite on Mail-in Ballots\">editorial board<\/a> said. &ldquo;Leading Democrats insisted that he had mental acuity for a second term when most Americans believed otherwise.&rdquo; That&rsquo;s interesting. When confronted with <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/06\/18\/white-house-shamelessly-claims-video-of-biden-clearly-freezing-up-onstage-is-fake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video evidence<\/a> of Biden publicly lost in a daze, the Times published an article calling those videos <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/06\/21\/us\/politics\/biden-age-videos.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&ldquo;misleading.&rdquo;<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>And here&rsquo;s another knee-slapper of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/03\/08\/books\/review\/joe-biden-age-style.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">headline<\/a> atop a piece by the paper&rsquo;s &ldquo;critic at large&rdquo; A.O. Scott: &ldquo;For Joe Biden, What Seems Like Age Might Instead Be Style.&rdquo; That piece, in earnest, suggested that Biden wasn&rsquo;t crippling in front of our very eyes, but had merely &ldquo;enter[ed] a new and distinctive phase of creativity.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The Times also suggested that Democrats &ldquo;recognize that the party moved too far left on social issues,&rdquo; specifically naming Kamala Harris&rsquo; positions on &ldquo;decriminalizing the border and government-funded gender-transition surgery for prisoners.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>True, those were stupid policies championed by Democrats, but the Times wasn&rsquo;t a dispassionate observer of them. At the end of President Trump&rsquo;s first term, after his administration had put in <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">place highly effective measures<\/a> to limit the obscene flow of migrants illegally crossing into the country, the Times editorial board <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/10\/10\/opinion\/sunday\/trump-immigration-child-separations.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lamented<\/a> that they &ldquo;won&rsquo;t be easy to undo&rdquo; and encouraged a potential Democrat successor to Trump to reverse the &ldquo;cruelest and most pointless&rdquo; measures initiated by the president (namely, all of them).<\/p>\n<p>As for so-called &ldquo;transition&rdquo; surgeries for convicts, ahead of the election, Times correspondent Michael Bender <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/09\/25\/us\/politics\/trump-ad-anti-trans-harris.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">attempted<\/a> to run interference on that one by discarding concerns as &ldquo;anti-trans prejudices&rdquo; and excusing it as an issue because it &ldquo;affects relatively few people.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Five days later, the Times editorial board <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/09\/30\/opinion\/editorials\/kamala-harris-2024-endorsement.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">endorsed<\/a> Harris as &ldquo;the only patriotic choice for president.&rdquo; I wonder where Democrats got the impression that everything they were doing was fine.<\/p>\n<p>In its endorsement &mdash; which was brave, unlike the cowardly Washington Post, which declined to explicitly support either candidate &mdash; the Times described Harris as &ldquo;a dedicated public servant who has demonstrated care, competence and an unwavering commitment to the Constitution.&rdquo; The paper said she &ldquo;offered a shared future for all citizens&rdquo; and &ldquo;has begun to describe a set of thoughtful plans to help American families.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Curious, then, that the paper&rsquo;s editorial just two weeks ago blamed Democrats for failing to offer &ldquo;new ideas&rdquo; and singled out Harris for a lack of &ldquo;intellectual leadership.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>All of this raises the question: Does The New York Times read The New York Times?
