It's interesting. Money is becoming less and less important in politics, at least to get elected, largely because the money goes toward TV ads and volunteers on the ground visiting houses. Kamala had tons of that, and it didn't make much of a difference.

What is now moving the needle is personality, conversations, ability to get attention. We're moving from a gate-kept world where access was everything, to a world where people can more directly judge through long-form podcasts and such. It's no longer about establishment stooges, but about people that have ideas, the ability to verbalize them and show that they can do those things.

In the coming years, we'll see a lot of people that get to political positions that previously would have been kept out. And it'll be platforms like this which will enable them.
