like gamers? Are you saying we should do in the real world what's done in games?

If so, you remind me of my IT son. He owns the best IT business in his region of NM (Gov & Lt. gov in Santa Fe know him), and was a lil gamer. Still is. He just doesn't see the current situation the way you explain it here.

I've no clue about gaming but the way I see your interpretation, the internal game logic of this is such that youth might appreciate where this party is, and might even help take down deez nutz. Don't be too sure they can touch the Boss, tho'. He's got more money than god to layer himself into an unbeatable position.

Your way of going forward with Bulwark advice is a shiny spin here.
Pretty sure, tho', that going after each minion takes a team -- surveillance & cybersecurity coordinated with a ground team of at least more than one real world law enforcer, a DA, and a diligent judge ... these in different states, maybe...

If we
-- go after each minion (there are only 19 identified so far)
-- hold a press conference (run by a different Dem on press conference rotation) each and every time the party finds, arrests (?) and confiscates devices of said minion,
-- gather state's evidence for prosecution at state levels only...

We'll ... what -- chip away at Musk. But then re Musk... I don't see how hurting Musk hurts the felon. Maybe this is where the Bulwark is mistaken.

Yet Bulwark advice for the party sounds so real world. Can you run this by any young folk at the DNC and see what they think?
