*This episode was recorded before Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis was made public.* This week we talk about how it’s not republicans beating democrats, it’s democrats beating themselves. We break down a series of their self-inflicted wounds: the party’s refusal to challenge Biden’s decision to run for re-election, their inability to communicate clearly and boldly, and the backlash David Hogg faced for calling out the DNC’s resistance to change. It’s a conversation about power, messaging, and how democrats can turn the tide in the future.Follow us on Substack at findoutpodcast.substack.com Get Find Out Merch at findoutpodcast.com.
