Deprived of all levers of federal power, and with their party's popularity at rock bottom, some Democrats are taking a polarizing new tack: Engaging with the enemy.
Why it matters: Backlash against cultural elitism — and a reluctance to take risks — fueled the party's loss in 2024. Ambitious Democrats are reckoning with the need to reach beyond their base as they try to claw out of the wilderness.
Driving the news: None have been as daring as California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has rankled the Democratic base by hosting a trio of hardline MAGA voices for the first three episodes of his new podcast.

Isn't he supposed to work in Sacremento for the people of California.
Liberals just another branch of communism.
Many names same objective
Dems splitting in two.
As Abe Lincoln said: “The Democrat Party cannot exist half woke leftist morons and half doddering old guard anti-American grifters.”
Or something like that.
Tell that to the activist federal judges.
They act like they didn’t convert Joe Rogan from a liberal to a Trump supporter. Rogan and Musk were solid lefties and had two of the biggest social media platforms. They practically drove them to Trump rallies with their insanity.
The Left never has, doesn’t now, nor ever will have a rational argument. That is why the Left never enters into the forum of ideas - the MAGA lions’ den - because they will be eaten alive.
The Left’s only weapon is gov’t FORCE.
Oh good grief! The Dims still have not got a clue. The unpopularity they face is not about style, it is about core values. They keep pushing Commie goals, socialism, genderisum, big government and control. They try to separate people by sex, gender, color, race and DIE. They need to unite people and tell the truth. People are tired of the lies. They are fooling themselves if they think a hairdo that is homosexual will win the most votes, without cheating.
"How many legs does a dog have if you call his tail a leg? Four. Saying that a tail is a leg doesn't make it a leg."
The rats have not moderated because they believe they have to cheat just a little bit more and they are back in power.
The Left’s only weapon is gov’t FORCE.
Great one. That’s why Abe quit comedy for politics. A natural.
Recently watched the movie LBJ (2016) (with Woody Harrelson).
Being pressured by his lifelong racist Dem friends to oppose the civil rights legislation, LBJ said:
“You know Abe Lincoln said after he woke up after a three day drunk?
I freed the WHAT?”
Oh, yeah. LBJ was a piece of work. I still remember the thing with him holding his beagles up in the air by their ears!
It was said he would deliberately have people in to meet with him and would take a crap with the door open while they were there...
Their main thrust now is the same-old same-old lying about Social Security and Medicare cuts.
As much as I dislike him, he has the right idea, dialogue with the opposition instead of stuck in an echo chamber will tend to weed out the terrible ideas on your own side. So you don’t end up with tone deaf extremist bad ideas, like men in women’s sports, or defund the police and make shoplifting legal.
Yea, I think there’s a video floating around of him say that.
**Rogan and Musk were solid lefties and had two of the biggest social media platforms. They practically drove them to Trump rallies with their insanity.**
I think Musk was apolitical and wised up. Me, I wised up at age 30 when Reagan was reelected. 12 years earlier it was McGovern, forgivable for an 18 year old. Big businessmen deal with both parties never picking sides. Remember when republicans were on the side of big business?
Yes, that’s in the LBJ movie. Thank goodness they no longer offer Smell-O-Vision.
