“It\u2019s not just what they\u2019re up against, but how they\u2019re communicating. Crying \u2018constitutional crisis\u2019 won\u2019t win votes \u2014 it\u2019s hardly enough to get likes.”<\/p>\n
Cory Booker Admits Democrats ‘Failed In My Generation’ In Scathing Assessment Of His Own Party<\/a><\/p>\n Norton wrote that he’s a college senior and said he studies media and film. The Wesleyan student wrote that he found himself scrolling past “lifeless Democratic content<\/a>” and noticing conservative content that was more engaging.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s like eyeing your dinner companion\u2019s unhealthy meal \u2014 you know it\u2019s not good for you, but it looks so much better than what\u2019s on your plate,” he said.<\/p>\n Read On The Fox News App<\/a><\/p>\n Students and voters walk past a sign near a polling location in Austin, Texas, Nov. 5, 2024, during the 2024 presidential election.<\/p>\n (Getty Images)<\/p>\n The student specifically pointed to Sen. Chuck Schumer<\/a>, D-N.Y., and Schumer’s website.<\/p>\n “Take the website of Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, which looks frozen in the 1980s: A slow, blurry photo montage cycles through images of the New York Democrat from a podium or a news conference. At the top, a line of text: ‘See where Chuck has been and what he\u2019s been doing,'” Norton wrote.<\/p>\n He mocked that nothing got Gen Z fired up like a weekly itinerary.<\/p>\n “Schumer\u2019s approach is dead on arrival. In the words of every content creator ever: bungle those first few seconds and your audience vanishes,” he continued.<\/p>\n James Carville Says Democrats Must Realize Youth Are Not A Static Voting Bloc<\/a><\/p>\n The student also pointed to a headline written on Schumer’s website in all caps that said, “SCHUMER SOUNDS ALARM: AS TRUMP STRIPS STAFF FROM 9\/11 HEALTH PROGRAM AND REASSIGNS THEM TO ICE, SENATOR DEMANDS IMMEDIATE REVERSAL TO PROTECT 140,000 SURVIVORS.”<\/p>\n “The irony? There\u2019s no alarm. Just too many words in all caps. It\u2019s bureaucratic and inert. Why not create actual visual urgency? Make it scrollable with ambient noise. Layer in 15-second clips that tell human stories about survivors before anyone scrolls,” Norton argued.<\/p>\n Click Here For More Coverage Of Media And Culture<\/a><\/p>\n People wear “Vote” T-shirts as they attend the Fashion For Our Future rally to raise awareness about voting during Fashion Week in New York City Sept. 6, 2024.<\/p>\n Schumer’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.<\/p>\n The New York senator has been mocked<\/a> several times by comedians and commentators in the last two years in his efforts to counter President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n Norton gave some examples of Democrats who were more engaging online, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani;<\/a> Rep. Alexandria Ocaiso-Cortez, D-N.Y.; and to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT.<\/p>\n “Even Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) \u2014 hardly a digital native \u2014 shows up daily with YouTube videos, Instagram clips and shareable quotes,” he said.<\/p>\n Click Here To Download The Fox News App<\/a><\/p>\n Norton also called out Harris over the missed opportunity to appear on Joe Rogan’s<\/a> podcast during the 2024 presidential campaign. He said podcasts like Rogan’s get clipped, retweeted and “memeified,” therefore creating a stream of content.<\/p>\n Norton charged that the GOP didn’t have an ideological grip on younger voters, but it had their attention.<\/p>\n![\"Students](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6e54b6787cc7a0ea9108deba2d179bb6.jpeg\"\/)
