One great suggestion was that these members of Congress go into a neighboring Republican-held district where that Republican member is dodging town halls (at instruction from R leadership) and hold their OWN town hall meeting. Something like "Your representative is too scared to face you but I'll come and listen to your questions and concerns". There are things to do that can reach voters that are a bit outside the box. Why not stir up the hornets nest in Republican turf? Dems need to do a full-court press and engage in whatever propaganda war they can, BEFORE 2026. Now. Not later.
I don’t know how effective that strategy would be. It seems like that would be a job for a Democrat that is actually running for office in that district.
Never underestimate the effectiveness of trolling. But yeah, it would be best if the person were running for office in that district. But the aim is not necessarily to win the seat: The point is to rile the base up against Trump/Republicans BEFORE the election. Think if it as a different kind of tea party. The purpose is to disrupt what's happening in Washington before Trump completely takes over the government and makes Congress irrelevant.
You’re all correct. Congressmen from neighboring districts, Governors, Senators, local candidates and anybody else who would attract attention should be trolling these Republicans.
