Tim Dillon, the comedian and podcast host, challenges the narrative that online personalities like himself influenced Kamala Harris's unsuccessful 2024 presidential campaign. He believes this blame distracts from more profound problems in the Democratic Party, particularly Harris's lack of popularity and a weak communication strategy. Dillon asserts that claiming podcasters hold more power than traditional political entities undermines the complexities of campaign dynamics, suggesting that it's an oversimplification of Harris's failure, rather than a reflection of podcast culture's influence.
I think most people admitted that Kamala Harris's communication strategy was pretty weak. So to hang this defeat all on a few podcasts and to say that they were the problem, I never I don't buy I just don't buy the narrative.
I don't think I'm the new establishment. If you weigh, again, a few comedians with podcast versus all of the people that supported Kamala Harris, you know, Democrat donors, billionaires, big people, if the idea is that me and a few comedians have more power than multibillionaires, huge media institutions, our whole political party apparatus, I just don't think most people are going to buy that.
