There won't ever be a "Liberal Joe Rogan" or anyone reaching outside the liberal sphere if the only folks who are ever platformed as the Voice Of Liberals are the same cadre of Democratic pundits, media elites & lifestyle liberals who alienated an entire generation of independents.

A recent RAND study found that $79 trillion was effectively stolen from the bottom 90% of income earners. We don’t lack abundance. We have an oligarchy problem — the oligarchs are hoarding the abundance for themselves.
