"The larger problem is that Democrats have no effective way to disseminate their arguments—no media ecosystem like the right-wing has built," says the guy apparently so deeply embedded within a Democrat media ecosystem that he can't even see it exists. Hilarious and sad in equal measure.
An excellent idea! But..if they are all on the same night, the Repubs and Fox News will quickly create a “safe space” to view the counter message on the same night, potentially drowning out the news.
Yes! Meet people where they are—literally. Listen and, most importantly, get people listening to and talking to one and other. We have more in common than we think.
I had spoken with a person in my House rep's office on March 5 requesting a town hall meeting. I was happy to hear that one was in the works for this spring. And then.... this post came out. I was so impressed and inspired by it that I shared it with a bunch of friends. As the concept of monthly Town Hall events took root in my heart and head, I called her office again and recommended that the Congresswoman and everyone in her local office here, read it. I was then given the email address for a member of her "campaign arm" as they are the ones who would handle involvement in something of this nature. All of this is to say.... CALL YOUR REPS! TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO DO THE SAME! Share Jonathan's post with them. Talk about how much better we are when we work TOGETHER. Pressure campaigns are effective! GO. DO! Okay! I'm going to say "thank you" to Jonathan and put my soapbox away now.
Democrats should have a town hall in every one of their districts. And they should organize one in every GOP district. Invite the representative to come. If he/she doesn’t, then have someone MC the event, encourage potential challengers to appear and speak. Because even in MTG’s district, 35% of the people didn’t vote for him. They need a place to go and find out they are not alone.
Norwegians wore paper clips during WWII! Can someone create a meme college students can get on board with and work upwards from there. It's their future that's being fucked with.
This is such a great idea, make them regular calendar events. And have Dems in all 435 districts - where repubs are too afraid to face their own VOTERS and constituents - that’s right you thugs, ppl who live in your district and did not vote for you are your CONSTITUENTS!
With Republicans, democrats, independents, and libertarians.
Well, let's see what you've got.
Have you evolved a little?
Do it! Get it going. People will come.
Great idea !
How do I get our Republican representatives to hold town halls in a predominantly Red area of Tennessee?

Count me in!!! Let’s make this happen.

This is a great idea. Write your Congressman.

Along these lines, consider also Jason Egenberg’s ideas, presented here:

That's a great idea!!!
This! And like Bernie Sanders just did in MI and WI, go into the red and purple districts with strong messengers.
