(I'll thank you to keep down the laughter there in the back, thanks. ;-) )

Assuming that such a thing was even possible, under what or whose name would such an organization publish? To whom, after all, should the party listen?

forbid you can't say liberal. Perhaps we could be the Gnu Democrats.
Although herding cats is rarely a unsuccessful endeavor.

2. They should just Bite Down Hard...
And keep coming back here for the pure, unvarnished Truth about what their base is saying in its unguarded moments. Organize? THIS RABBLE??!! The good lord, in his infinite mercy and wisdom, has not made enough meds, nor made them effective enough to organize a piss-up in a brewery with us, much less something more than that.

But we are fine people, great ballroom dancers and most of us offer something unique and insightful with incredible regularity.

So come here, engage, take our temperatures(I'll pass on the rectal probe, thanks.) and leave smarter than when they logged in here.

Anything beyond that will only result in death and destruction on a scale that might threaten the future of all humanity. ;-)

3. You can be organized without a group name
Everyone can simply use DU as a base to gather information about a story or reporter that is pandering to the right wing.
Then each and everyone of us could write our own letter, email or make phone calls to the said media outlet. When Bill O'realy pukes some more bull, we can all overload FAUX news with emails and phone calls.
It works better if it looks like citizens are doing this and not an organization.
You have the power to take back America: VOTE!

4. sure, but my understanding
from Dem-Strategist was that the campaign wanted ideas collated and bulleted, listed under the name of a specific group. "Underground Progressives" (or something) vs. "Bob's Thoughts on Government".

5. It was just my two cents worth!
Usually not worth much more than that.
