the left faces three major problems when it comes to podcasts, or talk radio if you want to go back some years. 1) the left no longer has a sense of humor. they can no longer laugh at themselves, laugh at any joke that even remotely pokes fun at any protected class, laugh at any dark humor. the only time leftists laugh any more is when they are laughing at the pain of whites and anyone on the right. 2) the left are no longer capable of serious reflection and self examination. they are so dedicated to their ideology, they can no longer look at the world unless it's through that lens. they'll look at this electoral loss, and eventually decide it was because the us is even more racist and sexist than they thought. they'll decide the only path forward is to double and triple down on identity politics, racial, sex based, and gay/tranny based grievance. they try to exclude and cancel even more. 3) because of their dedication to their ideology, they will keep suffering from a credibility and competency crisis. they will keep lying to themselves, keep pushing propaganda, and keep elevating unqualified people simply because that person checks the correct boxes. fewer and fewer people will listen to them, believe them, or take them seriously. they will become less and less capable, and so become more and more angry and crazy. hopefully they will be unable to break out of their death spiral until eventually the democrats become as irrelevant as the libertarian party.
