Democrats Losing the Social Media War

Daily Beast: “Democrats are still losing the war online. Part of the deficit is strictly a matter of cash… But much of it, those in the field say, is in building the type of news and organic content ecosystem that can match the scale that currently exists on the right.”

“Not everyone in the party buys the logic. There is a thread of thinking among some Democrats that the insular universe that conservatives have built online is both impenetrable and not worth duplicating. … But others who work in digital politics argue that the party can’t simply assume that its voters will always be reachable through traditional means; and that it is a massively important investment to create online content that can bring in new audiences.”
