There's another thread on it. Don't care which one wins, but this should stay on the top of the board for a while.

This parallels with some of the things Bernie has been sharing about organizing locally and building grassroots support.

I downloaded their guide. They define the Tea Party as "grass roots" - but it's not - it's a at least initially created by the Koch Bros - formerly known as the John Birch Society.

they were always promoting TP events as "news." Yes, it was astroturf, but it was effective at mobilizing the wingnut base.

We need something similar, in the get out the vote/pump up the enthusiasm kind of way. Dems will never be that well organized, but I consider that a good thing.

This parallels things Bernie and Mike Moore have said about local organizing.

For the kick but doesn't change the fact the MSNBC, including Hayes, Maddox and O'Donnell are all part of the propaganda machine for trump.

When they start asking serious questions of trump and his surrogates and demanding real answers and when they stop letting trump and trump and his surrogates monologue for 5 minutes straight with no challenge or counter-point and when they start actually going directly at trump for his ridiculous twitter nonsense then I will believe they are different.
