Outreach techniques
What problem do Democrats have with their messaging according to Doug Jones?
According to Doug Jones, Democrats have failed to keep up with modern technology to effectively disseminate their messages. He argues that while Democrats are accomplishing good things, they are being defined by right-wing voices because they aren't adequately communicating their achievements to the public. Jones humorously disagrees with Jesse Waters' assessment that Democrats are using 1990s technology, suggesting they're actually using even more outdated "1890 technology." This technological gap has resulted in Democrats' inability to control their own narrative, allowing conservative commentators to define their policies and initiatives instead.

Martin pointed out that the only two groups with whom Democrats overperformed were wealthy households and college-educated voters. He described this limited support base as 'a damning indictment on the Democratic Party,' acknowledging the urgent need for better outreach and inclusivity to rebuild their coalition.

President Trump reversed his stance on TikTok because he recognized its significant political value in reaching younger voters. During the 2024 campaign, he discovered that the platform was instrumental in Republican outreach to youth demographics, where they achieved an unprecedented 36% increase in support - something Republicans had never accomplished before. Trump acknowledged that "we have no choice" but to save TikTok, emphasizing how the platform proved to be "amazing" for political engagement. This strategic shift highlights how political considerations can override initial security concerns when a platform demonstrates clear electoral benefits, particularly in reaching traditionally challenging voter segments.
