I’m calling bullshit. Bernie and AOC aren’t doing anything any more substantive to fight this administration than anyone else is. Their rallies are no more effective than the women’s marches that preceded them. They’re actually useful idiots but nobody is ready for that conversation. - ThreadSky

I think the people organizing the empty-seat townhalls in GOP districts are doing a lot of good, personally.

Now you’ve got me wondering if their latest greatest hits tour will devolve into a morass of antisemitism like the Women’s March as well.

Then what is anyone else doing? I’m not saying Bernie & AOC are my only picks to lead the party, as I said in my reply to someone else, I’m open to choices. But I’ve moved further left since supporting Hillary in 16 and Kamala in 20/24, and I think the party could stand to move further left.

One of my friends in MI just organized an empty-seat townhall because their GOP rep chickened out at meeting constituents. It made it onto Maddow. Those may not get thousands participating at each townhall, but it is effective at organizing locally.
