Experts question Democrats’ $20 million plan to make content with an “aspirational vision of manhood that aligns with Democratic values.”

    This being run by democrats I expect it to fail spectacularly and completely miss all the marks. Honestly I think there already is a semi equivalent for center right liberals and those of us on the left somewhat. Adam Conover has a lot of the same discussions. Bringing on Experts Etc onto his podcast. But the problem is he isn’t populist. And doesn’t push back against people who know what they’re talking about. Or pretend to give people simple answers to complex problems. Far from it.

        Part of the reason I mentioned Conover was the extreme coincidental similarities. Rogan thought being a meathead was being a comedian. Adam Conover actually is a comedian. Both have been TV personalities good or bad. Both have podcasts where they invite on interesting people and have discussions.

        The problem with Sanders are largely things out of his control. Things like his age. And his duty to his constituents. Being a media personality would likely get in the way of serving the people who elected him and I think that’s a no-go for him.

    They already have thousands of Democratic party mouth pieces that repeat their talking points endlessly. Fundamental issue with this quest is that their policies don’t resonate with people, so unless they change the policies they will never have “Liberal Joe Rogan”.
