I believe they should hold town halls instead and let the press show half the seats empty.
I don't believe they should attend and disrupt.
This would give right wing media ammunition.

(655 posts)He hates being laughed at. But it will help to give a sense of reality to the fantasy he will attempt to portray. They might also want to groan, when appropriate, or even boo, from time to time. I wouldn't mind hearing an occasional "You lie!" Some intense, vocal opposition from the Democratic leaders would be welcome, in my opinion.

(54,533 posts)No matter what they would wear (certain colors and pins and ribbons) it won't matter and is a wasted effort. If you're going to really make a point than they should boycott the whole shit show. I bet they'd be relieved if the Dem leaders told them not to show up. If I were there I'd need a barf bag and a handful of Xanax or perhaps a lobotomy beforehand.
