my polcomm class these days is divided between "conventional campaign wisdom" and "Everything Is Phone Now" and i think it works pretty well!

-mobile internet displaced desktop
-a majority of political spending was online rather than traditional media
-Twitter and Instagram switched to algo feeds

"Mr. Mamdani is a master of new media... But as mayor, he has also been able to use taxpayer funds to create a sprawling network of hundreds of friendly influencers to boost his priorities, provide positive depictions of his administration and enhance his popularity."
Inside Mamdani’s Private Army of Public Influencers (Gift Article)
Zohran Mamdani is seen as a social media wizard. Some of his popularity stems from an influencer operation run by the mayor’s office.
