What would be a good Def Con, out of the box plan for 2020?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

To keep the devil out of WH in 2020?

Stipulating.
- Mueller's not gonna help with a turning point bombshell.

- MF45 approvals dangerously close to the 45% (irony) he needs to win again. Teflon.

- We've lost good Dem Senate candidates who are running for nom. Here's a projection on 2021 Senate...51 R's!

- Economy grossly tilted and higher debt, yet job #s and unemployment #s good.

- nothing has been done to stop TRussian interference or protect the vote and limit

- no known plan to stop Facebook smears against our candidates

1. K&R, This is ones of the reasons we should be trying to cut the arm off to get the damn glove !!

... Right now !!

2. I was thinking about Steyer..and his willingness to

spend money. Is it even possible for a private citizen to give $ to states for election protection? This may be crazy but what if he bought anti hacking software? Or you know how places won't put enough polling booths in high demand voting areas. Could he pay for that? Guess trump/GOP could scream foul on that, huh.

4. +1, ... and where in the hell are the other billionaires that love the country?! It seems to be some

... some sleepiness that's going on.

Worked in IT for 30 years, the depth of Russian penetration into our election systems is gob smacking

5. Totally agree...in analytical career too. Problem

Definition, intense brainstorming, worse case analysis. We ARE there now.

IMHO, we are lacking a leader to pull this together. A nominee is, what, 10 months away? Too big a task for Perez?

Got to be a coalition from the private sector?

In my perfect world, I'd get a group together for a week long retreat. The best strategic minds in our party ( off top of head...Carville, Dean, Bill Clinton, Obama IT aces),. Top IT security experts, pollsters, NYC ad men, Hollywood big money people.

We need to start generic ads yesterday. Simple, clear messages. Like, "Proven, Russia influenced our selection and trump has done nothing. Republicans cut funding to protect. Why? Shouldn't every american's vote count? ". Or, "trump brags about cutting regulations, but did you know this one stops the protection of the water the kids swim in in Michigan?"

8. "We need to start generic ads yesterday." .... THIS !!!!

3. Oh... I thought you meant DeadCon 2020.

Which might work too.

6. Lol. I like yours better LA. Is anything happening

In WI to protect hacking, vote, supression?

7. I haven't heard of any measures getting through

The courts and the legislature are still very conservative
