Joe's Town Hall tonight is literally a drive-in! Some ideas:

In case y’all didn’t see, it’s outdoors and people are actually driving in in their cars, and Joe and Anderson will sit on a stage.

Man, I’d lean into that! Let people blast their horns and flash their lights in applause (with no inappropriate blasts of course), have Joe cruise in in his corvette to the tune of Born to Run, have him open with “Isn’t it time we fixed these problems in America so we can feel good again?”

And then follow with the most serious, fact based, deep analysis of 45’s lack of leadership and his own plan to get us on the path to being a happier, healthier, prouder, more humane country again.

We need some joy, mixed with absolute seriousness about how to find it again. Maybe it’s me, but I’ve watched the cheering around Kamala’s shoes and while it’s goofy fun, I’m here to tell you that fun makes you stronger and more ready to fight for right.

Ridin’ with Biden indeed!

Unfortunately I wasn’t here to get the call when they asked my advise. 😄

...aside from the one you mention -- how do you completely search a vehicle to make sure they don't have a gun stashed away somewhere? It's not like an in-person event where each attendee has to walk through a metal detector. And I can imagine any number of "true believer" MAGAts who would think it some sort of great crusade for "God and country" to use a Second Amendment solution to make sure Trump remains in office to cement his agenda.

They had a drive-in thing at the close of the convention and it seemed to be a hit.

People in cars, sitting on lawn chairs around their cars, everyone looking like they’re ready for a good time. Very casual, average people looking.

Honestly, it’s cool!
