Effective Messaging From Demcast: “President Biden Delivers”

Mark Spieglan

Polled approval ratings for President Biden have been maddeningly low despite unprecedented accomplishments. How can we communicate how effective he has been? For that matter, how can all Democrats use social media to get our message across?

The website, Demcast, has as its mission “To cultivate, amplify & maximize the impact of grassroots digital media, bolstering blue electoral and policy victories at all levels of government, across America.” The recent posting, President Biden Delivers, is not a simple opinion piece but a how-to blueprint for getting the message across. It includes an interactive infographic that can be freely shared. Take it for a spin!

Since this site was pointed out to me (thanks, Diane Hewitt and Holly Hootman!) I’ve yet to digest what it has to offer, but it’s well worth exploration. Here are some recent offerings:

Have fun!
