It turns out "eternal suffering forever" just isn't that popular of a political position

The people yearn for socialism, even if they don't realize it yet.

when i became a socialist, it was less of a fundamental change in ideology and more like realizing socialism was the name for what i already thought was good

exactly.. i used to think i was a liberal but it never fit right, so i used the term loosely. Then I found out about socialism and communism and realized communism was what matched my inner being the most, but in so many more ways than i expected

Democrats shocked that helping people out materially results in election wins. They promise to do better by providing even less material support to the poor and more empty platitudes.

And meanwhile, the DNC and the Democrat establishment and their well-paid and not coincidentally well-connected "consultants" are getting to work on the PR strategy they're going to use when they try in the midterms to push the ever-more ludicrous notion that what the people really want are pro-corporate centrists, and that's why they're offering us nothing but pro-corporate centrists, and we just need to vote blue no matter who, and it'll be all our fault if their strategy of offering candidates we don't want fails.

The only lesson the DNC will take from the Mamdani campaign is that they should post more.

Obviously you know this, but the DNC didn't have Rogan when Bernie was running, Bernie did.
There is no way on earth I would listen to ten million hours of Rogan to find this answer, but I do kinda wonder if anybody's asked Rogan how much the DNC ratfucking of Bernie contributed to his own personal specific slide further down the right wing pipeline he was at the entrance to even back during the Bernie 2016 campaign.

Rogan's a crypto fash. He didn't "slide" that way he just let the mask go a little as the rest of the country slid. He's made numerous posts that are pretty obvious dogwhistles.

They'll be popular until they're Co opted by the DNC and watered down and then eventually neutered.
