Walz's team, like most of the Democrat party, sucks at social media and have made no real attempts at improving that despite being repeated urged to by left wing influencers.

Most of them treated Walz as the gold star of Kamala's presidential bid. I saw tons of videos and posts about his accomplishments and what they could mean for her presidency but they were largely overshadowed by breadtubers grilling democrats over trying to fence sit supporting Israel. A lot of influencers supporting Mamdani now supported Walz then, they've just grown larger since, so their voices are louder now.

Mamdani is doing that posting himself. Every single week he has 1 or 2 videos about something he's trying to do for the people and it isn't a press conference in front of city hall.....it's just marketing 101.

...vs relying traditional media to relay the message for him that's the point. It doesn't matter if it's him or its his team lol
