At donor retreats and in pitch documents seen by The New York Times, liberal strategists are pushing the party’s rich backers to reopen their wallets for a cavalcade of projects to help Democrats, as the cliché now goes, “find the next Joe Rogan.”

[...]

The first out of the gate has been Chorus, a well-publicized liberal nonprofit group co-founded by the Democratic influencer Brian Tyler Cohen.

But others have stayed under wraps until now. In November, Ms. McBride and other liberal operatives gathered in Washington for a series of meetings to survey the election wreckage. At the headquarters of American Bridge, one of the largest Democratic donor networks, they eventually hatched a plan for a for-profit media company called AND Media, which stands for “Achieve Narrative Dominance.”

The company, incorporated in March, says it is aiming to raise $45 million over the next four years. The group hopes to have a $70 million budget over that time frame based on predictions of $25 million in revenue. It says it has raised $7 million so far. Ms. McBride and Christian Tom, who led digital strategy for the Biden White House, have pitched the company to American Bridge donors as a broad cultural project.

Contrapoints is too divisive when we really need a common sense progressive leader with progressive values with experience in politics

I’m of course talking about Brianna Wu

Dem elites do not fuck with Trans people

She was good enough for Hillary Clinton, she's probably good enough for Nancy Pelosi.

No, trans people existing is too political now.

But they'd have a token transgender woman who could probably be convinced to say things like, "If you're trans and don't pass, you're part of the problem. There's either 'passing' or being 'stealth'."
