Summary

Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory, influenced by support from podcasters like Joe Rogan, has sparked debate among Democrats about creating a left-leaning equivalent.

Rogan, whose show reaches 14.5 million listeners (80% male, largely independents or Republicans), endorsed Trump and hosted figures like JD Vance and Elon Musk.

Critics argue Democrats lack a comparable media ecosystem due to limited funding from megadonors, who oppose progressive policies.

Others suggest Democrats need to focus on appealing policies for independent-minded voters rather than trying to replicate Rogan’s media influence.

    Unfortunately that hairless elbow golem is exactly the kind of clueless neolib that voters just rejected.

      Yes. Inability to learn was one of the criteria.
