The 2024 election brings with it so-called progressive “influencers” who should help Democrats get elected. Obviously, things didn’t go as planned. The Democrats lost. Big time.
Now the ‘influencers’ are seeing their gravy train coming to an end and they don’t want it. They are arguing that Democratic donors should give them more money. This will solve your problem. Right?
Having too much cash to work with didn’t help Kamala Harris in the end, did it?
This is really amazing
Liberal podcasters and influencers argue that Democrats can only win if podcasters/influencers receive funding from donors year-round.

Interviews with more than a dozen Democratic content creators reveal how Republicans have helped create a highly organized and well-funded ecosystem of influencers, podcasters and other online celebrities who have successfully amplified and spread pro-Trump content. The widely held belief that it was given was revealed. And content creators are criticizing Democrats’ reckless efforts and underfunding to make an impression in an area they say the party as a whole has overlooked for at least a decade.
While many on the left have spent the past few weeks debating whether Ms. Harris should have been granted an interview with Joe Rogan, the right-wing host of the world’s most popular podcast, some progressive influencers are now I’m more interested in building Logan. Their own…
They are banding together to create their own network to create content throughout the year, not just the final months before the election. Their goal is to ultimately build a network with self-help advocacy groups that are the left’s answer to the nonprofit organization Turning Point USA or the right’s media company The Daily Wire. But to compete in the new attention economy, where people’s time is currency, they first need support and cash from Democratic donors and institutions.
The Democratic Party still doesn’t understand.
It’s funny to see how Democrats completely misunderstand Trump’s podcast strategy.
The Nelk Boys, Rogan, Theo Von, etc. are not “right wing” influencers/podcasts. They’re just popular. Trump’s strategy worked because he and J.D. Vance acted like normal, interesting human beings on a hit show.

That said, I fully support Democrats investing millions of dollars in content like this. pic.twitter.com/Wzn1b2mBdq

The entire mainstream media and 99% of Hollywood are ‘democracy influencers.’ https://t.co/D1BxFjqHHn

It’s funny to hear Democrats say they need their own Joe Rogan. They had one. His name is Joe Rogan. They pushed him away.
