Jones is Jimmah Carter’s ex son-in-law.

Still laughing over Gutfeld’s quip of Jimmah’s reaction to Trump’s victory.

“I lived this long to see this?”

I agree they were idiots, but not simply for the reasons he states.

I received a text on election day from someone named Esclareth with the SEIU union. They reminded me to vote for Harris and the Dem Congressional candidate in our district. I never got anything from them before that.

Let's see:

The sitting president clearly displays senility and bad temper,

He gets forced out and replaced with a very unpopular politician with no accomplishments, somebody who never got a vote in her party's primaries, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY

The last 4 years have been a disaster for normal people who aren't on a government payroll.

And it's the messaging that turned the election? I'm surprised she got more than 40% of the actual votes cast by real people. Next time, the dems should run an actual blue dog. Or is it a yellow dog? I've heard both.

He opted instead for appearances on popular podcasts and internet programs — including Joe Rogan’s and other shows with audiences predominantly made up of young men

One of the more interesting demographic shifts was the number of YOUNG woman that went Trump.

I guess food in the fridge trumps killing babies on the womb. Plus no chick really lives a soiboi

Single factor analysis is inherently inadequate, but the point Jones is making is one that the Dems should have seen coming. The battleground is no longer in the keeping of talking suits on TV but has expanded to span the stiletto-sharp concision of Internet memes all the way to relaxed, three-hour conversations that can’t sell soap but do sell podcasts. And the near monolithic control over that media that the Left had achieved over the years meant that the winning fish weren’t noticing that the pond was drying up around them. Corporate media will change or die.

Democrats’ media strategy is a major reason Vice President Harris lost this week’s presidential election

What a total moron. As if their policies, agenda, track record, and continual lies had nothing to do with it.

This is the way they think. It’s all about appearances and nothing about TRUTH.

I get massive numbers of emails on the computer and texts on the phone ONLY from Trump and congressional candidates we’ve donated to. Not a single Dem one, not even in spam.

“..The legacy media is killing itself,...”

They also had plenty of help too.
When odongo pushed thru that bill that allowed them to be able lie and propagandize to the People without retribution, he pretty much helped “pound the nails in their coffin”. That BS law needs to be repealed, and he needs to be arrested and sent to GITMO as a domestic enemy combatant....

“It had to do with online, had to do with podcasts, with streaming platforms. And they were spending their money there.”

Hey, Van, so was the Heels Up campaign.  Incessant Youtube ads, podcasts such as Call Her Daddy and Charlamagne Tha God.

She wouldn't - or more likely couldn't - go unscripted.  It's why she refused to go on with Rogan or Musk.

The platforms didn't matter.  It was her - and the Dems' - message, or lack thereof.

i swear that kamala must have spent her entire one billion dollar war chest on TV ads: practically every other tv ad on every program on every channel in colorado was a kamala tv ad ... no idea why they were wasting money on tv ads in colorado ... and besides, who watches tv ads anymore anyway given that one can dvr all programming and skip all ads? ...

What he says is true, but they will never figure out the real reason because they will never allow themselves to admit that it was their leftist worldview that was rejected.

I would agree but government action is too easy to reverse if the Left get back into power. A bottom up purge of the communists from all sectors is what’s necessary.

Agreed.

The perfect is the enemy of the good.

You go for the low hanging fruits first.

“We got beat because the conservatives and Republicans built a different media system,”

That's because the demonratcommieblmantifaterrorscumfeminazipedophilegoatrapers and the A$$media are no longer in "control" of the media.

The problem for them was they didn’t have a real candidate. All the liberals were coping so hard. Meghan Kelly said there is a brief window now, maybe a week or two, where them dems will admit they blew it with the cackler. After that it be back to the nazi and fascim crap.
