Branding DemocratsBranding DemocratsWhy Democrats Keep Losing the Working Class with @Off_JaWaggonIn the 70th episode of Branding Democrats, we reconnect with returning guest Jordan Waggoner, known across social media as @Offjawaggon. Together, we dive deep into the post-election landscape, talk about why Democrats fell short and the role messaging, strategy, and complacency played in the outcome. We begin our conversation talking about the GOP's media dominance, including their use of social media and red-pill propaganda pipelines to galvanize their base. We compare this to Democrats, who clearly lack of cohesive branding and are relying on outdated strategies, celebrity endorsements, and ineffective ad consultants while ignoring relatable, grassroots creators.2024-12-0447 minLet Them Eat ToastLet Them Eat ToastInterview w/TN BrandoJordan and Taylor have Tennessee Brando on the show, and we discuss all things election and Democratic Party strategy (or lack thereof). 2024-11-191h 04Let Them Eat ToastLet Them Eat Toast2024 Election ReviewJordan and Taylor breakdown the election results.

We also realize as 2 white males we do not have a particularly unique perspective, but its an incredibly important topic that has wide reaching affects. Men should speak up and demand reproductive rights as much as women are. 2024-10-151h 32Let Them Eat ToastLet Them Eat ToastInterview W/ClueMan (Iran-Contra & More!)Jordan and Taylor interview ClueMan!

We ask how long "Brat Summer" is, because it seems like the honeymoon is over and the Democratic party was just cosplaying to maintain a progressive coalition. For anyone out there who interprets our criticisms as an argument for Trump... well we have not given up that this new administration can still fight for the people, and not party mega donors. Harris can be swayed by public sentiment, or lack thereof, and Walz is still the progressive we championed in Minnesota. We w...2024-09-101h 24Let Them Eat ToastLet Them Eat ToastThe Lesser Evil... Probably?Jordan and Taylor talk about the Harris-Walz ticket and how we need to hold their feet to the fire to actually get anything done when in power. We fully admit that "voting blue, no matter who" is a cringy, dumb thing to advocate for. We want to push progressive policies, like Walz has and keep Trump out of office. The best way to do that is vote blue down ballot.
