Democrats aren't going to win elections again until they build a well-oiled information ecosystem

34. Right and they are " monetized". I have tried to explain this to my very gullible friend time and time again.

Hate and anger sells!
It is psychological warfare and that is not hyperbole.
People stay online longer and engage more with negative information.
The people pumping out these videos, podcasts or whatever, know this.
You can post tons of videos on YouTube distorting the truth and get paid for it.
The same folks that will say they don't trust " the news" because they are paid to tell us what to think, trust people selling lies on YouTube.
Go figure.
I'm not sure if a news organization, or online presence is the remedy.
It sucks, but we have to be prepared to make this a long term project. The republicans are good at that. They know how to play the longe game. We need to follow suit.
I would like to see year round face to face engagement by democrats in as many neighborhoods as possible.
Plan events just like we were doing. From town halls, to community events to engage directly with the public. Explain how things actually work. Aside from the bigotry that has brought us here, stupidity, ignorance also brought us here.
If you are mad about the high cost of housing, understand what contributed to this and what can be done about it.
