The Same Party That Once "Won" the Culture War Is Now Boring, Uncool, and Hilariously Out of Touch - đ The Liberty Daily
(DCNF)âThe Democratic National Committeeâs (DNC) new live daily show has drawn dwindling viewership and mockery in its first two weeks online.
The âDemocratsâ Daily Blueprint,â a 15-minute weekday show, launched June 9 as a bid to counter conservative media dominance â but after drawing about 9,000 views on its debut, many episodes have struggled to crack quadruple digits. Trump War Roomâs single mocking tweet hit 83,000 views as of Tuesday, dwarfing the Blueprintâs entire combined viewership of about 21,000 across 12 episodes.
âThe launch of the Daily Blueprint is an exciting new step for the Democratic Party â it cements our commitment to meet this moment and innovate the ways we get our message across in a new media landscape,â DNC Chair Ken Martin told Axios after the showâs launch.
Martin is already under pressure inside the DNC after the abrupt removal of David Hogg, who was ostensibly brought on to revive the partyâs support among young, especially male, voters.
The DNC did not respond to a request for comment.
The Blueprintâs Juneteenth special, now five days old, has limped to roughly 830 views at the time of writing.
âItâs Juneteenth and welcome to the Daily Blueprint. Iâm Hannah Muldavin, deputy communications director for the Democrats. And given the holiday, we have a special guest here to talk about Juneteenth,â said Muldavin, who hosts the show.
The special guest, DNC spokesman Marcus Robinson, then launched into a seemingly scripted monologue about the new federal holiday and its relevance to the current Democratic platform.
âAnd, unfortunately this year, Juneteenth is also a reminder of what is at stake for black communities,â Robinson said. âAt a time when rising costs, access to quality healthcare and economic security are top of mind for black families, it is clear that Donald Trump isnât up to the task ⌠Trump is gutting Medicaid, which will devastate expecting black families â two-thirds of whom rely on Medicaid for childbirth. On top of that, the GOP budget targets essential programs like SNAP and WIC.â
Some viewers took to the comments section to jeer at the episode.
ââGiven the holiday, we have a special guest here: A black man!â lol,â one commenter wrote.
âIf you could make your daily updates sub 10 seconds I feel like that would be the sweet spot,â another user added.
The cold reception reflects a deeper problem still haunting Democrats after a bruising 2024 cycle: they lost ground with nearly every demographic they took for granted. Trump made historic gains with black and Hispanic voters, and younger men fled the party in droves.
Their attempts to reverse the slide so far havenât landed. In 2024, Democrats rolled out Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as their vice presidential hopeful â packaged as a Midwestern everyman with a folksy demeanor and blue-collar roots meant to reconnect with working-class voters. But the rollout struggled to resonate beyond DNC circles, and online attempts to brand Walz as relatable were widely mocked.
The broader media effort hasnât fared much better. While Democratic operatives push out curated content like the Daily Blueprint in hopes of shaping the digital conversation, they remain outpaced by the same influencers theyâre trying to counter. The New York Times hailed right-leaning comedian and podcaster Andrew Schulz as potentially âAmericaâs Foremost Political Journalistâ in a Saturday profile, while Joe Roganâs episode featuring comedians Luis Gomez and Big Jay Oakerson â uploaded just a day before the Blueprintâs Juneteenth installation â has already amassed 990,000 views, over 45 times more than every Daily Blueprint episode combined.
