Branding Democrats

In this week's episode of The Branding Democrats podcast, we engage in an open and candid conversation with Chiodo Supply, a passionate and progressive TikTok creator. Chiodo shares his unique journey into the realm of political commentary on TikTok and how it became a significant part of his life, particularly during the tumultuous Trump era. He reflects on the sense of solace and community he found on the platform among like-minded individuals who shared his progressive values.
Amid the backdrop of global events, our discussion pivots towards the complex and ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine. Our aim is to provide a fresh perspective on this deeply nuanced issue and to examine the role of international players in the conflict. Furthermore, we address the potential impact of Israel and Palestine on the upcoming presidential election and the potential division it might sow among the American electorate.
As the episode nears its conclusion, we shift our focus to the actions of former President Donald Trump and his continuous efforts to undermine democratic processes. We emphasize the need for stricter regulations to curb the spread of false information by politicians, acknowledging that misinformation can intensify the divisions within our nation. Ultimately, we stress the fundamental values of unity, truth, and accountability in American politics, as they are vital for shaping the future of the United States.

In this episode of Branding Democrats, we welcome progressive creator Jay, best known as @RTPtalks on TikTok.
We start the episode with Jay sharing his journey from being a former Republican and lifelong Mormon to now not only being a Democrat but also creating progressive content.
Our conversation then delves into the Republican focus on election fraud, the strategic implications for the GOP whether Trump wins or loses, and the potential for Trump to claim fraud if defeated. We discuss how the Democratic Party can counteract misinformation and enhance its messaging on economic policies, reproductive rights, and the integrity of the judiciary.
The discussion shifts to the potential dangers of a Trump presidency, particularly with Project 2025—a concerning initiative by Trump to ensure loyalty over competence in his administration. We talk about the threat of Trump severely undermining democratic institutions and the integrity of governmental operations.
The episode concludes by emphasizing the importance of messaging and the role of media in shaping public perception. Jay talks about the power of engaging content and live discussions in shifting political views, particularly among those initially resistant to Democratic ideas.

Welcome to another episode of the Branding Democrats podcast with guest, Abe Gurko, known as "Won't Be Silent" on TikTok. Abe, a writer, producer, and notable content creator, joins the conversation to share his insights on politics, activism, and the power of messaging.
Our conversation explores the notion of Trump as a businessman and celebrity, emphasizing the disconnect between perception and reality. We highlight the failure of Trump's business ventures and the role of media, particularly "The Apprentice," in creating a false image of his success. As a former New Yorker, Abe says that even before his entrance into politics, “Trump stunk up New York City...”. And since his presidency, he’s stunk up the country too!
The discussion shifts to how Democrats need to engage specific demographics, particularly older individuals. Abe urges a focus on mobilizing people over 40, who may have a deeper appreciation for the challenges democracy has faced. In contrast, we talk about younger voters, who may have turned their back to the party, solely based on Biden's response to the Middle East.

The episode concludes with a discussion about the "Won't be Silent" movement, where Abe talks about the importance of creativity, music, and community engagement. He highlights the need for unity and encourages people to participate actively in democracy. Want to be a part of the solution? Go vote!
Thanks for tuning in. See you next week.

In this episode of Branding Democrats, join hosts Ken, Daryl, and Gabriella as they delve into the world of conspiracy theories and examine their impact on society. Is the term "conspiracy theory" too mild? Should we label them as "wacky" or "crazy" to distinguish them from legitimate ideas? We think yes...
From the infamous flat Earth theory to the mind-boggling Paul McCartney replacement theory, we unpack some popular conspiracy theories that have captured public attention and been weaponized for political gain, particularly by the right-wing. We emphasize the importance of education, facts, and science in combating conspiracy theories and restoring trust in institutions and experts.
Additionally, we discuss figures like RFK Jr., a known anti-vaxxer and Democratic presidential nominee, who is being promoted by some Republicans as a tactic against Biden.
In this episode, we also stress the importance of Democrats shifting from defense to offense. To do this, the party needs to message their values better, counter false accusations, and capitalize on Republican shortcomings.
To conclude, we explore the challenges posed by artificial intelligence (AI) in the form of deep fakes and misinformation. We advocate for regulation and protections to ensure the responsible use of AI technology.
Tune in and unravel the complex world of conspiracy theories, political strategy, and the pursuit of truth.

Note: This episode covers a wide range of topics and viewpoints, with an emphasis on fostering critical thinking and promoting informed discussions.

In this episode of Branding Democrats, we are joined by progressive political creator Zak Kimball (@zak.kimball) to unpack the chaos unfolding under Trump’s second presidency. We dive into the ongoing DOGE controversy, exposing how Elon Musk, despite claiming to make government more efficient, is really just ensuring he gets richer while operating with a massive conflict of interest. Zak breaks down how Trump’s first month in office has already caused economic harm, eroded democratic checks and balances, and set the stage for even more authoritarian overreach.

We highlight the ongoing failure of Democratic messaging—why the GOP stays united around their narratives while Democrats struggle to define their own—and why alternative media and digital creators are now more critical than ever in countering right-wing propaganda. With Musk’s increasing influence over government contracts, Trump’s blatant disregard for legal constraints, and the Supreme Court’s unreliable role as a check on executive power, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Despite the grim outlook, the episode ends on a note of action: how social media can still be a force for good, why Democratic messaging must become bolder, and how digital creators can step in where political leaders are falling short.
