Democrats need a more robust Facebook messaging strategy. Right wing messaging dominates that space and is highly effective. People live in their own closed ecosystems. Twitter alone won't cut it.
The entire right wing media ecosystem is one of the most dangerous threats to our democracy & pluralistic society. It's incestuous, closed circuit & highly organized with its messaging. Fox mainstreams it, then Facebook & social media promotes it, radio & politicians amplify it.
A third of the country relies on this ecosystem for information. It's like Twilight Zone where conspiracy theories like QAnon (a domestic terror threat) run rampant. The majority normalizes it with "both sides" framing instead of treating it like harmful radicalized propaganda
Until we confront this reality, of massive disinformation, both sides false equivalence, bad faith actors peddling propaganda, unregulated social media companies, our democracy and country is F'd. Even if Biden wins, we've lost at least a third of this country.
