Popular podcaster Joe Rogan recently criticized the Democratic Party's response to their November election setback, arguing that they haven't learned from their mistakes. In a discussion with writer Bridget Phetasy, Rogan contended that the Democrats continue to lose support because they are out of touch with public sentiment and clinging to an ideology that many find increasingly alienating.

Rogan pointed to what he sees as the Democrats' overreliance on a previously controlled media landscape. He argued that while they once benefited from a unified message across mainstream media outlets, the public is now more aware of this and distrustful of traditional news sources. He suggested that the Democrats haven't adapted to this shift and continue to rely on talking points that no longer resonate with a skeptical electorate.

Phetasy echoed Rogan's observations, noting a continuing exodus of people from the Democratic Party. She questioned the party's inability to course-correct and retain its base. Rogan responded by asserting that the Democrats are failing to acknowledge the reasons for their declining popularity, instead attributing losses to external factors rather than internal issues.

Rogan's critique went beyond messaging, touching upon the party's overall image. He argued that the Democrats are perceived as inauthentic and out of touch with everyday people, contributing to their declining appeal. He dismissed the idea that their losses are due to online manipulation, instead suggesting that the party's own shortcomings are to blame.
