It occurs to me that in an Information Age where access to truth and facts depends upon your media source, that we might revisit the old practice of distributing and posting pamphlets. Maybe in or near places where Faux News consumers live.

By moving to the so-called “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich.
