"Ain’t Cool to Be a Democrat No More" – Chuck Rocha on How to Rebuild The Party & Win in Red States

Chuck Rocha is a self-described redneck farm boy from East Texas who has become one of the most influential political strategists in America. He was a single dad at 20, never went to college, and got his start as a union rep at a rubber factory. From there, he rose through the labor movement to become the architect of Bernie Sanders' 2020 presidential campaign. In this episode, we talk about the Democrats' working-class problem, how Latino voters are shifting right, and why it "ain’t cool to be a Democrat no more." Plus, Chuck shares stories from his fishing adventures and lays out a blueprint for progressives to win in red states.📆 Recorded: April 11, 2025📲 Follow me on social: TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@drewpetrimoulx](https://www.tiktok.com/@drewpetrimoulx) Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/drewpetrimoulx/](https://www.instagram.com/drewpetrimoulx/) Twitter/X: [https://x.com/DrewPetrimoulx](https://x.com/DrewPetrimoulx) Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/drew.petrimoulx](https://www.facebook.com/drew.petrimoulx) Website: [https://www.drewpetrimoulx.com](https://www.drewpetrimoulx.com) Podcast: [The World and Stuff](https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/drew-petrimoulx)📍Chapters:00:00 – Chuck Rocha’s unlikely journey to DC 04:07 – Life in a rubber factory & union organizing roots 13:14 – Legal trouble, redemption, and second chances 17:15 – Behind the scenes of Bernie Sanders' 2020 campaign 26:22 – Latino voter shifts & the Democrats’ messaging problem 35:29 – Making Democrats cool again 42:43 – How to rebuild the party and win in the South 57:06 – Fishing, conservation, and Chuck’s retirement plan#ChuckRocha #LatinoVoters #BernieSanders #DemocraticParty #PoliticalStrategy #UnionStrong #TheWorldAndStuff #twaspod #DrewPetrimoulx #2024Election #RubenGallego #AOC #WorkingClassVotes #PoliticalPodcast
