Yes, your retweet could save democracy



Hey there. I’m Peri, the social media manager for Daily Kos. I spend a lot of
time thinking about how to squeeze facts, outrage, and the occasional meme into
a space roughly the size of a haiku. I also make videos that break down complex
political stories in under 60 seconds. And I’m always looking for new ways to
reach people who’ve never heard of us—but need to.

Social media isn’t just cat videos anymore. It’s where people get their news,
bad takes go viral, and progressive voices like ours have to show up.

Social media is the front page now
Most people aren’t waking up and reading five reputable news sources. They’re
just scrolling. They’re getting hit with half-baked takes, conspiracy theories,
and that one uncle’s comment about “both sides.”

That’s why we’re here.

According to the Pew Research Center, about 50% of U.S. adults at least
sometimes get their news from social media. And for adults under 30, TikTok and
Instagram are among the top news sources. If we want the next generation to
hear the truth about what’s happening in our country, we have to meet them
where they are.

“But it’s just a retweet …”
I promise: It’s not just a retweet. It’s an act of digital rebellion.

When you hit share, you’re helping us jump the algorithmic moat to reach
someone who might not follow us. Thanks to you, our article is showing up in
the feed of your cousin’s roommate’s girlfriend who still thinks CNN is radical.

In a media landscape flooded with mis- and disinformation, every share matters.

Remember, misinformation spreads because it's shared. When you boost a
well-researched Daily Kos article instead, you’re throwing a wrench into the
propaganda machine. Yes, your retweet won’t save democracy by itself. But
multiplied by thousands? That’s one way we fight back.
