...why, if it is widely accepted (which it is) that Labour won the social media campaign, didn't they win the General Election?
I mean we keep being told it was sinister Russian troll factories driving the Leave campaign with bots churning out dank memes and shitposts discrediting the forces of Remain, why did it work then but not last week?

All analysts of these things.
Labour achieved more than three times the video views compared to the Tories. Rob Delaney’s scaremongering video about NHS alone achieved a total of 13.3m views.
Corbyn has received 2.4 million retweets, compared to the Tories’ 372,000. 649,000 people have shared Corbyn’s content on Facebook, of whom 432,000 have never shared a Corbyn post before.
Follower growth on Twitter and Facebook for the Labour Party, boosted by celebrities, has been impressive:

In 2015 I bought a cartoon out of Private Eye which was done immediately after the General Election.
It shows a man and a woman carrying a Tesco bag with the caption:
"I can't believe Labour didn't win. We tweeted, we facebooked and we instagrammed. Perhaps we should have voted"

because the war that matters is a war about what people think
you can make the better arguments and generally present better on a particular medium, but you still only win the actual election if more people agree with you than agree with the orhees
I hope this helps.
