Democrats have a man problem. And no, it’s not new, but their goofy solution is.
After a brutal 2024 loss, the Left is now throwing tens of millions of dollars into the influencer pool, scrambling to find their own progressive “Joe Rogan.” Yes, you read that right, they’re trying to find a “manly” podcaster to appeal to the effeminate poofs they’ve created for a decade and who are the foundation of their failing party. They’ve got pitch decks, investor meetings, and spreadsheets with 26 different proposals, all in a frantic, dizzying effort to manufacture cultural relevance like it’s something you can buy in bulk.
The New York Times got a look at what’s going on behind the scenes: think investor meetings, podcast blueprints, and spreadsheet warfare, all to try and reverse a cultural tsunami that’s already crashed down on them.
