The Democrats as a party are IMO pretty weak in social media. Social media is just not friendly to people who want to fix things with policy, it's boring. So while some progressive causes get a lot of attention on social media, it's very different from the kind of direct party support machine the GOP has built.
The lefties/progressives in social media put out quality content, but they're nowhere near as popular or famous as figures like Shapiro, Tate and Peterson.

It was my impression that boomers and truckers weren't on social media and liberals could use social media and podcast to usurp talk radio. I guess I'm wrong if the right is winning that war too.
