Cecil contends that the left has in recent years ceded ground to the right in the digital space, paving the road for conservatives to capitalize on things like web video and viral memes to help catapult Donald Trump into the White House.

Priorities USA’s new operation, Cecil said, will create and produce similar digital content, which the group hopes will spread across the Internet to dejected and unenthused Democrats who have become increasingly difficult to reach through more traditional channels.
