This was an awesome conversation, Tim & Prof Glaude! Thank you!
I am not sure how to elevate this idea, so I will start with some of the comment boards. First: thank you for everything the Bulwark does. I'm proud to support you. Now, my idea is this:

I am not sure how to elevate this idea, so I will start with some of the comment boards. First: thank you for everything the Bulwark does. I'm proud to support you. Now, my idea is this:
There will be a several day Democratic National Convention, as well as a several day Republican National Convention. There will be broadcasted debates. Could there be an event or a series of events that I can only describe at the moment as nonpartisan rallies for democracy? Could the itineraries for these include speakers from all reasonable sides of the political spectrum, interleaved with celebrities (singers/performances/comics)? Could these be hosted in important locations, such as battleground states? Could they somehow be nationally televised & tick tocked (I'm old)? Could they touch on important democratic ideas, such as the facts 1) that no candidate will ever be perfect and solve all of our problems, 2) it's our responsibility as citizens to choose better leaders (a nod to some of Eddie Glaude's commends toward the end of the discussion), 3) Americans are not enemies, 4) compromise is our historic strength?
Again, thank you for what you do, and if you think this idea is worth pursuing, what I should do or who I should contact next?
