First, some background. Twenty years ago, the best way to communicate with voters was through TV, radio, and newspapers, and Democrats were pretty good at it.
But today, everything has changed. A majority of swing voters now get their news from social media, podcasts, and YouTube.
And on these platforms, Democrats are getting absolutely steamrolled.
Four of the top ten news podcasts on Spotify right now are hosted by right-wing extremists, like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. The White House’s rapid response Twitter/X account is five times bigger than the DNC’s. Of the 100 largest political YouTube channels, 64 of them are conservative.
On Facebook, Twitter/X, TikTok, you name it … Republicans are running circles around Democrats, and that could cost us the entire midterm election.
