But wouldn't it be even easier to bring them out of the wood work if we had simultaneous small demos in their own downtowns? Baltimore isn't but a half hour from Washington. But if they were from Cleveland they'd probably be balked.
Don't small local demos do everything big demos with less effort and less need for the party structure? And denser connections made with people who live close enough to easily consider doing something else with?
