Hi Friend,
One of the key lessons of the 2024 election is that rightwing propaganda and lies played a key role in Kamala Harris' narrow defeat.
Elon Musk played a key role by turning X into a MAGA hellhole. So one immediate action all Democrats should take is to switch from X to BlueSky.
But X is just one piece of the rightwing propaganda machine, which ranges from TV networks to websites to podcasts and social networks.
To beat the right, we need to build a big progressive network - a school of fish big enough to chase the rightwing fish as in the image above. So let's start by identifying the best progressive news sources across all channels.
Democrats.com has always been on the cutting edge of the progressive Internet:
- In 2000, we launched Democrats.com as the first news blog with the first email newsletter
- In 2012 we launched act.tv as the first progressive video network across all major social networks
But now we need to do even more to beat the right on the Internet. Before we start, we'd love to know where you currently get your political news.
Could you take our 2-minute political news survey?
Thank for all you do!
Bob Fertik, President
Democrats.com
p.s. Building a powerful Democratic media ecosystem will take a strong and determined organizing effort so your contribution of any amount will make a huge difference. Thank you!
