I listened to a Lincoln Project Facebook live last night (I’ll post a separate comment on that later) but here is a great suggestion from them. Call Kevin McCarthy’s office (202)-225-2915, and ask 2 questions: 1. Did Joe Biden win the 2020 election fairly and 2. Why won’t you meet with Officer Fanone? Apparently he has refused to do so and is avoiding Officer Fanone’s calls.

We watched that LP live broadcast last night, too. First question from a viewer was a doozy. Paraphrased by Barbara G: "If you're such savvy political/campaign people, how did this (former guy et al) happen right under your nose?" Appreciated that Reed took the question. He and Stuart were embarrassed but candid. They basically said they have no good answer for that failure. They absolutely didn't believe he'd be elected (as it turns out, he probably wasn't) and their sight line beyond Election Day was dictated by that belief.

Also interesting was Reed's explanation of what's involved re setting up a new party. It involves setting up in each of the 50 states, for starters. Complicated, though not impossible.
