This episode of Socially Democratic is the June Mailbag. Todd Pinkerton and Lissie Ratcliff answer your questions on AI, the budget, progressive media, and the future of cheap beer.

🤖 Is Labor seriously game-planning for an AI-driven jobs crisis? 

🏠 A month on from the budget, has it landed with people, and why is One Nation still rising? 

📱 Does Labor need its own media ecosystem, or do we already have one? 

📺 Why authentic, unpolished content beats polished TV ads every time, and why we still can't let go 

📖 The watch list: Tony Blair's big essay, anger and social media, and FIFA's relationship with Trump 

🍺 Should the Labor movement just buy a brewery?
