a group publishing a guide on how to influence congresscritters and engage in resistance to Trump.
http://www.indivisibleguide.com/
Haven't read all of it yet. Page has download link and offer to register.
Since this guide went live as a Google Doc, weve received an
overwhelming flood of messages from people all over the country
working to resist the Trump agenda. Were thrilled and humbled by the
energy and passion of this growing movement. Well be updating the
guide based on your feedback and making it interactive ASAP. You can
sign up for updates at www.IndivisibleGuide.com.
Every single person who worked on this guide and website is a
volunteer. Were doing this in our free time without coordination or
support from our employers. Our only goal is help the real leaders on
the ground who are resisting Trumps agenda on their home turf. We
hope you will take this document and use it however you see fit.
We want to hear your stories, questions, comments, edits, etc., so
please feel free to ping some of us on Twitter: @IndivisibleTeam,
@ezralevin, @angelrafpadilla, @texpat, @Leahgreenb. Or email
IndivisibleAgainstTrump@gmail.com.
And please please please spread the word! Only folks who know this
exists will use it.
Good luck we will win.

(58,706 posts)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.

(9,257 posts)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.

(58,706 posts)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.

Wounded Bear
(58,706 posts)but thanks for the gratuitous kick.
angrychair
(8,733 posts)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.
