MODERATORS
it is their best hope because this is something that the DNC could actually do because
a) It will not make anyone's life even a little bit better
b) It can be accomplished purely by giving a lot of money to people they want to curry favor with, no one actually has to do anything or even publicly acknowledge responsibility
It's their best hope because if it works it could change things. Imagine Harry Potter staring silently at you- you the viewer- for 30 seconds before he says "Next No Kings Protest: 28 March". It would be like Hungry Games.
I don't know, that sounds too close to a "call to action" and could poll badly with some of our donors or be seen as 34% threatening by some constituents. Better to leave that part out I think.
If Gramsci was correct and we now live in the time of monsters, who defeats monsters? Pure-hearted boy wizards. This is the moment where we need radical calls to action and those start and end with Harry Potter saying "No Kings Protest Bring A Sign I'll Be There Dudes".
Oh I like that. It is 23% more casual and we could play it off as an ironic joke if it polls badly.
