MODERATORS
This was the inevitable outcome of all the “we need a liberal Joe Rogan” talk.
Like, they have a huge ecosystem of left wing content creators out there, but they won’t pedal the party line. They won’t stick to the issues that the Democratic Party wants to campaign on, because the issues that actually engage the voter base, the policy that would convince people to get excited and mobilize them to enthusiastically support them, are politically inconvenient for the democrats ability to appeal to the donors and their imaginary “moderate voter” who they still think exists.
They have this ideal campaign they’d like to run, but they’re unwilling to adjust their platform to fit that strategy. They want to have their cake and eat it to. There is so much excited and skilled talent in the Democratic milieu, and the party leadership keeps sending them to the timeout corner for actually trying to apeal to the voters who could win them elections.
