Time mattered.

The solution lies with the people, no one else is going to save us. The people were ready to fight but got no marching orders.

OK, for the 96th time; Dems should have held town halls based on specific issues, held them in blue, red, and purple districts. Should have put faces on the issues. The moderator (hopefully a Democratic Rep) should have asked invited unwashed guests about what Krasnov's Big Ugly Death Bill would do to them, how it would affect them. The template was out there, do town halls like the MSNBC town hall where fired government workers told their stories about what their jobs were all about.

Having a rally is fine, but putting real faces to the issues would have been better. Democrats can't compete with the Magat MSM echo chamber, so they needed to do these specific town halls where local News outlets, yes even Fox local News outlets would have covered them, and Democratic Congressional leadership should have organized that. That never happened so there wasn't enough blowback from the people to stop the passage of the Big Ugly death Bill.
