Gameplaying "Dem Congresspeople force themselves into a federal building this week"
They'd get arrested. Not necessarily bad. Would help to galvanize the Dem base SOMEWHAT… but we have short attention spans.
GOP would cry "Jan 6" and "insurrection". Dishonest ofc, but energizes their base too.

Maybe the dem leadership should try putting the needs of the country over their own personal comfort for a minute while a country still exists
"Like it or not, the rule of law a bedrock principle of democracy. It was bad when MAGA did it, it's bad when our side does it."
The House voted to censure Rep. Tlaib in late 2023, a vote that could not have passed without at least 20 Dems joining with the GOP.
It would have to be a white Senator like Ron Wyden or someone like that.
At this point, all that’s left of the party are political prisoners
Let the cameras roll while armed guards manhandle an old white man with a cane.
I see no evidence of the Dems being smart OR courageous. Fun to imagine.
They do take some courage when the pitchforks are poking into their own backs.
You really do need most of the caucus to back the play if it's going to work.
I honestly don't think we're gonna see big crowds until school lets out for summer.
Jan 6ers were mostly wealthy people with bank accounts full of fraudulent Paycheck Protection Program funds.
"One politician gives angry speech outside federal building" is business as usual; "a fourth of the opposition party was arrested yesterday" is extraordinary enough to grab attention.

Dems will need to make a spectacle if they want to break through. TV-reality is our paradigm now.
Forcing their way in is a risk, but we need to be willing to take risks. The consultants running Harris campaign refused to and imo that’s why we lost.
