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.

The already existing left leaning influencers that have reasonable popularity are overwhelmingly anti-zionist and the dems just won't have that

They can try for Destiny or that guy who hates Hasan and Bad Empanada. Ooh, or what about Vaush? Is he anti-Zionist? I actually have no idea.

Vaush was once banned from twitch for saying that Tel Aviv should be nuked, but as far as I know he's doing the typical "IDF bad but also Khamas bad" lib zionist thing these days

The Democrats lost their pop culture clout as soon as Obama went out. Hillary tried to use it the same way he did but it only worked against her because she lacks Obama’s charisma and likability.
