What can Democrats do about their poor social media presence?

Put AOC in charge

Why are Dems so afraid to run negative ads about their opponents ?

The whole "we don't want to say anything too mean about Republicans" thing is of absolutely no help in winning elections. More worried about not hurting any Republicans' feeling than winning.

Dems did not do a good job of explaining the stakes.

Citizens United has helped the right dominate the internet.

The last sentence. That's it right there.

lame

Bernie should join the damn party.

For now he's just a persistent insurgent troll

Democrats should advertise their actual legislative bills and messaging bills they pass and promote.

i.e. "we passed the XYZ bill and McConnell is sitting on it because he hates ABC"

more shyt like that.

If you can't be a bomb thrower then you have to adjust in your moderate districts.

Bernie had the worst rhetoric of any democrat. These guys don't know how to connect emotionally with people.

Also I just thought about it, but labor was the only way we could get money to match the rich right wingers in political donations and pacs. Democrats screwed themselves over with that too, they never help unions.

Not sure if it's a popular opinion or not, but IMO one of the biggest reasons Democrats struggle is that it come to social media, the right absolutely dominates. You go on almost any platform (Facebook, Reddit, wherever) and it's dominated by racist memes, anti-SJW complaining, etc.

I'm not too sure why this is considering Dem voters are younger on average. Zuckerberg? Not enough focus on social media in general from party leadership? Lack of younger people put in positions to help?


But in any case...does HL agree that this is an issue? And if so what can be done?

It's a deeper issue. It's just messaging in general. If your messaging is shytty no amount of social media expertise will overcome it.

Stop being spineless pussies or just join the Republicans.
