Dems leaving Twitter probably added to our loss. You have 100 million Americans on Twitter - mostly ages 18 to 45 and you guys think it’s great not to influence them -it’s like handing 100 million Americans to the Republicans - because you don’t like Musk.

Many feel Dems lost because they underestimated social media and the rise of podcasts.
