Right-wing influencers didn’t "rise organically"—they were platformed & boosted by strategists & foreign actors.
Meanwhile pro-democracy voices are left to fend for themselves. We must invest in creators who will fight for democracy.

7️⃣The stakes couldn’t be higher.
We are fighting for democracy itself.

We need funders, strategists & digital experts to step up NOW.
If you’re already working on this, let’s amplify it. If not, let’s build it.

📢 Who’s ready to fight back?

6️⃣ This isn’t about playing dirty—it’s about leveling the field.
The right has weaponized social media to create fake consensus & drown out reality.

If we don’t fight back with the same digital tools, we’ll keep losing elections before people even vote.

5️⃣ We need a fact-based digital strategy to counter disinfo & ensure truth reaches voters.

✅Use ethical AI tools to amplify facts & disrupt bad actors (@BotSentinel is tracking this).
✅Train activists on TikTok, Instagram & YouTube—@NextGenAmerica
✅Rapid-response teams—@MoveOn & @IndivisibleTeam

4️⃣ If We Don't Adapt We Lose

The right weaponized social media to create fake consensus & drown out reality.

@MeidasTouch & @slpng_giants prove digital activism works. Imagine the impact of a coordinated strategy.

If we don’t fight back with the same tools, we lose before votes are cast.

3️⃣ Jamie Raskin Knows We Need a Better Strategy
Rep. @RepRaskin has warned that Democrats are losing the social media war:
"The Democrats have to get a lot more sophisticated about social media and the entire information warfare that the radical right is engaging in."

2️⃣ The problem:
-Far-right bot networks flood social platforms, boosting propaganda.
-Algorithms reward engagement over truth.
-Fact-checking alone isn’t enough—bots keep lies trending.
-The left is playing defense while the right dominates the digital space.
This is an organized attack on democracy.
