Dems who turn up at SOTU tonight are acting as if normal democratic processes are continuing. Their absence would send a more meaningful message.
Do something that conveys the damage being done, even a webinar or public event. Talk to people being hurt.

The news covers the address and says Democrats didn't show up.
Do you think the people watching the broadcast will be like "oh wow didn't even come, things must be pretty bad"
Republicans will just say (& report on Fox) "figures"
Why not a message public can embrace?
More Rs will watch than Ds.
I'm not watching.
Nobody watch it.
Make sure the ratings are terrible, because it's going to be on a ton of channels.
He will hate that.
Nobody cares what Democrats think.
A boycot just feeds the FOX GOP messaging. Trump derangement
A half empty congress still gives trump a lot better fodder for talking smack than an organized BIG EFFING SCENE MAN! no? help me
A walk out prevents the GOP from filling their seats with sycophants that will clap and cheer to all the propaganda.
1) If you go, cause enough trouble to get dragged out by security.
2) Hold town halls in the Republicans' districts/states.

Too many mixed messages from the ‘do something’ crowd
I also appreciate this:
Honestly all the armchair genius strategists need to stop this neverending Calvinball about strategy.
Instead of amplifying that feeling, people should amplify whatever is resonating with them
Would they do it? Maybe, maybe not. Are you willing to risk that?
Related, it's weird that people keep calling it a State of the Union. Not the same thing at all.
The thing is what it is. The correct name indicates, correctly, that it takes place while Congress is in session.
Don’t act normal when the situation is abnormal. It undercuts the messaging.
Conversely, if Dems show up and act like Boebert and Greene at Biden's SOTUs, he'll feed off of it.
Boycotting is the only option.
