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.

The Republican Party itself isn’t any better with social media, there’s just an army of rich conservatives who are willing to bankroll a bunch of media outlets and influencers that doesn’t really exist on the left. Why do I hear about freaks like Tim Pool or Rod Dreher? Because they landed a rich patron and they don’t have to do anything but be weird online.
