Something I've learned from this election is how the Right leveraged independent media through YouTube, Rumble, Instagram, & TikTok.
Liberal media has news outlets, late night TV shows, Hollywood, etc.

The Right leverages podcasts more, sharing memes through Reddit, etc. I know that technology and social media is ubiquitious to everyone right now but look how the Right used it.

Joe Rogan Podcast got 44 million views in under two days when Trump was on there. These people aren't going to ABC, NBC, The Daily Show, etc for their news and commentary. They're going to media outlets like that.

It's a double edged sword because while it does allow the average person an independent media platform, with an audience, it does breed misinformation, potentially degrades journalism, and some of that speech can be dangerous

Is there anything close to a liberal Joe Rogan?

Trump has successfully discredited real media outlets to the point that this happemed.

Ppl literally believe whatever he says on trith social and whatever right YouTubers say. It's a legit hustle now that's guaranteed money

While left wingers generally aren't into that low brow stuff. So the playing field isn't level.

Exactly. nikkas mad about pronouns and how that doesn’t vibe with their faith, so they vote for the pornstar fukking racist who literally spread dangerous lies about your own people and will definitely deport all the relatives who you legally worked hard to help immigrate to this country. It’s so fukked.

In their eyes...it's not as bad as supporting a (black) woman.

Nonsense that's already been disproven. Hillary lost cause the electoral college said fyck the popular vote. Harris just ran a bad campaign and the Dems tried to push a candidate no one wanted since 2020.

My mother told me she’s in a Haitian moms group on Facebook and a bunch of them voted for Trump despite all that cats and dogs shyt. They all basically sited policy and moral alignment. That trans commercial really did a number on her campaign. Like @Gil Scott-Heroin has said repeatedly, there’s just nothing you can do to beat that amount of delusion and disinformation. shyt is hopeless.
Lol what?

What policy? Seriously all I know about his plans are he's gonna start deporting THEY black asses on day 1 (Brown asses too), he's going on a revenge tour and prolly gonna pardon the Jan. 6 folks

Spent some time watching reactions from the Democratic side. I was shocked to see very little (righteous) anger from the mainstream sources :snoop:

I'm so sick of seeing all these rich, established liberals on tv talking about "We just have to keep fighting! Don't give up hope!"

That's easy to say when you've been clearing $500,000+ annually for the past 15 years for being on tv.

The rest of us are about to get fukked in all areas of life.

I wish they'd grow a fukking backbone and stop being "the good guys".

I'm tired of this shyt.

THINGS I BELIEVE THE DEMOCRATS NEED TO FOCUS ON FOR 2028:

1. Stop fukking pandering to the LGBT community: Gender non-conforming 19 year old college students with dyed hair and Doc Martens don't fukking vote. Plus, many of the older people in the LGBT community tend to be high earners, which means a lot of them probably secretly vote Republican for financial reasons. fukk them.

2. Stop fukking pandering to Latinos AND other non-White immigrants. The bulk of these people were raised in conservative households and are here for business/moneymaking opportunities. Not to dance with Beyonce and Cardi B. fukk them.

3. Lighten the fukk up on abortion access. Otherwise, you won't beat the baby killer accusations. The majority of women who ACTUALLY vote are middle-aged/older and have either already had kids or can no longer have them. Many of these women either had abortions in their younger years and feel guilty about it, or because THEY ACTUALLY HAVE CHILDREN, they understand that a fetus is a human being, not a fukking clump of cells or a parasite. Despite the rare exception cases, everybody knows deep-down that most women (and the men who pressure them to get one) use abortion as a form of birth control. That's the harsh but honest truth.

4. Focus on courting working-class, blue collar Black and White Americans. Working class Black and White people are the backbone of the American economy, not the immigrants who come over here and decide to vote Republican as soon as they get their money up so they can further benefit by getting a tax break.

5. An extension of point #4: Please -- for the love of God -- stop associating with celebrities. People who are struggling financially don't give a fukk about Lady Gaga, Paul Rudd, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hanks, Taylor Swift, Cardi B, etc. Corporate backing along with high-profile celebrity endorsements screams "establishment".

6. FOCUS. ON. THE. ECONOMY. fukk "decency". fukk "democracy". fukk "civility". fukk "tradition". This election has shown that people only really give a fukk about themselves, their money, and their family at the end of the day.


7. Stop trying to prop up a female candidate. It's not going to happen. Give it up. In times of turmoil, people (especially women) look towards a man to "save" them, and Trump's mouth-breathing supporters see him as "Daddy", even the men (:skip: ). Viewing it from the Democratic side back in 2020, Biden was the father figure that was supposed to save us from 4 more years of Trump's fukkery.


8. They need to run a left-wing parallel to Trump: a guy who's fiscally progressive but more conservative-leaning, socially speaking. Not socially conservative to the point of exclusion, but just enough to a point that he can attract "normal" voters without potentially turning them off.


This is the only way I see Dems having a chance in the foreseeable future.

The Dems actually need more internet celebrities in their camp

Problem with that is that any relevant, legitimately influential celebrity is only going to support a liberal or conservative candidate, not a progressive one.

Kai Cenat, Adin Ross, and Joe Rogan aren't going to endorse a candidate that would promise to raise taxes on people in their income level.

Only way that would possibly work is if the candidate was universally viewed as cool and hip among the youth like Obama was circa 2008.
