No, not the Temptations or Rare Earth (unfortunatey), but for democrats.
They are still conceited enough that they refuse to address the real reason they got crushed in November and are sticking to their age-old shtick of 'messaging'.
To them, it isn't what you say, it's how you say it.
This new effort is led by a group calling themselves "AND -- Achieve Narrative Dominance."
Because owning the entire corporate media just isn't enough to keep the public gaslit and giddy on lies.
Democrats Throw Money at a Problem: Countering G.O.P. Clout Online At private gatherings, strategists and donors are swapping ideas to help the party capture the digital mojo that helped President Trump win. Yes, there's a price tag.

Six months after the Democratic Party's crushing 2024 defeat, the party's megadonors are being inundated with overtures to spend tens of millions of dollars to develop an army of left-leaning online influencers.
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."
As many have said, the left already had its own Joe Rogan. He was called "Joe Rogan." The left decided to excommunicate him because he did some Youthful Experimentation with ivermectin and noticed that most of what the left says is just lies.
That sounds like a problem bigger than what a couple of astroturf podcasts can solve. If you're that disconnected from the rest of the country that you can't influence the country despite owning every network, magazine, publishing house, and movie studio -- maybe you need a couple of years of introspection to figure out why that is before you just dump a hundred million dollars into More of the Same.
But still they can't "compete culturally."

Democrats Plan to Spend Tens of Millions of Dollars to Create an Astroturf "Authentic" Propaganda Podcasting Army

Their theory about the loss of the 2024 race is, get this, they just don't dominate the media enough.This new effort is led by a group calling themselves "AND -- Achieve Narrative Dominance."

They own the entire media, from the networks to Hollywood, but "can't compete culturally" with the right.

Oh, I forgot -- they also took over sports broadcasting. And comic books.
But still they can't "compete culturally."
Say, New York Times, were there any Biden- or Democrat-friendly "journalists" at the New York Times?
The reason the right is powerful in the online space is the same reason it was powerful on AM radio -- because the left blackballed us from all positions in the corporate media and forced us to much-inferior platforms. But we thrived, because we tell the truth, and you lie, and it doesn't matter how inferior your platform is when you have the truth.
