    In addition to suggesting more dramatic work on delivering effective government that aides & protects people, I’d complained they need to engage the people where they at

    Frankly, adapting a message isn’t enough. They need to beat Republicans at social media, have their own answer to right-wing influencers & podcasters like Joe Rogan, probably pump out their own viral bullshit, answer Republican troll farms with Democrat troll farms.

    to be answered on here with

    This is such a boomer take. This is like trying to claim Clinton lost in 2016 because she didn’t tweet enough or use the right young-person slang, skibidi

    The Right loves to organize & build a long-term strategy to “own the libs”, stack the courts, pass anti-abortion legislation at the state level. It seems the Left’s answer to “own the libs” is to also “own the libs”. “The libs” don’t catch a break.

      The left doesn’t understand how Joe Rogan got popular in the first place. It’s because he’s authentic. If the left tried to make a Joe Rogan, he would be engineered in some DNC lab, given carefully-written scripts written by consultants, put through numerous focus groups…and would fail utterly.

      If they were actually authentic, on the other hand, they would get canceled almost immediately for either platforming a problematic person or having problematic opinions themselves.

        He’s an authentic idiot.

        The DNC has no authenticity though, you’re right there.

          No argument there. I don’t like him, but I can see why he’s appealing to some people.

        DNC isn’t left wing. Look at what they did to Bernie, and then realize even Bernie is barely left wing in the international Overton Window.

          I don’t know enough about Joe Rogan to say that he was never left, but the dude strikes me as a populist and a contrarian. I expect him to be favorable towards anybody who’s standing up against the establishment, left or right.
