The GOP hold on most of American radio seems pretty unshakable, but Democrats must get into the talk-radio game before ever more damage is done.

    You can literally see the generational technical divide which is not clean.

    I’d bet most households /car owners could have their age and political alignments rated solely on a few metrics.

    • Do you watch cable? Do you stream shows? Do you pirate.

    • Do you own a car? Use the radio or Bluetooth? Have a Spotify or YouTube account?

    You’d easily see people’s politics fit in with where they get their content.

      Car use wouldn’t be a good metric in the US (maybe more so in other countries). It’s too necessary in most places. But otherwise I agree.

      Talk radio is a bastion of old white men. Trying to sway it is a lost cause. The only hope is out lasting their deaths.

      If Harris wins I think we have good shot of things moving back towards sanity, especially if she lasts two terms.
