You don't just get to *have* a leftwing ecosystem out of nowhere; you have to facilitate it. The right has spent years doing it. They ONLY give interviews & news to rightwing outlets. The left doesn't even come close to doing that.
We will not win so long as this media asymmetry exists.

Maybe you should do the same, instead of hiding in your echo chamber.
No one heard Harris' policies except her echo chamber.
And with 60% of Americdans believing we were in a recession (thanks to the assymetry and lack of omnichannel messaging you mention),while the opposite is true...
Ain't this the truth.
People that lean right have always been on the platforms. They just had their content blocked or removed in the past and decided to stop that practice
They chose to
Stay in the msm platforms
Then hopefully it will give us an opportunity to
Elect new blood.
The Democrats seem to just wait & see who shows up.
This is a brilliant way of using the media to do exactly what T has done to the Democrats and turn it right back on him. Divide and conquer.

Liberals don't have any real media presence to begin with.
The entire industry serves conservative political activists.
They own X, are big on Tik Tok & YouTube. Through Sinclair they own local newspapers and tv & radio news stations across the country.
Apparently, we just have to become the underground since we can't trust MSM.
The left has control over the mainstream press and they are able to synchronize their message along all of their media platforms.
The big difference in the last few years is that they lost control of the social media platforms and news wasn’t in their control
They also take advantage of the human foible that facts are boring while salacious lies & conspiracy theories generate immediate attention & outrage.
How do we compete with these asymmetries?
Now, we must master memetic warfare if we are ever going to take the other platforms back.
Meanwhile, we fell for the trap of appeasement of Republicans for votes instead of demanding our own path.
Progressives are STILL the whipping post.
Sigh. 😑
How can you factor “gullibility” into the equation?
When will ANY “news outlets” focus on substance, versus abuse of fact?
“Educating” viewers re: substance, truth and facts rather than battle over which wing is worse would be a worthy objective.
Sadly, it will probably have to be a centrist candidate like Biden.
In my opinion it should be Andy Beshear. He has the toolset to accomplish this and he has already done it in a majority red state.
If I want Fox, there are 10 stations that are copycats available for FREE
If I want a fact-driven news station, I have to pay a high premium, and it's out of my budget.
THIS IS WHY WE LOST
When I lived in the Central Valley, I had the culture shock of watching Sinclair News on a top three national network. What news they DIDN’T report was damning!
What if someone imbedded truth-telling ads like MSNBC’s ubiquitous Bible smuggling ones?
Something they'll understand easy, like a Pepe meme with a QR code to a neutral site.
