I think the Dems are still on another planet. Look at the wins that Justice Dem candidates like Ocasio-Cortez are having. And the support that Bernie had from many in the counties that wound up going for Trump after Hillary was forced on them. These demonstrate clearly the problem is not one of technology but policy. The Dems if they want to win need to offer policies that appeal to people, that means policies which are going to rub against their corporate donors.
Edit: Quote from article to give context to my comment: “What’s at stake if we don’t build a true centralized digital arm is falling further behind the Republicans and continuing to lose ground...”

Technology is a great amplifier, but policy is what attracts the initial support in the first place. Hard for Bernie supporters to get excited over Hillary. I'm sure any right-leaning organization trying to do what the article talks about will be labeled as "Russian".
