Republicans are cancelling town halls in their districts. I’m a Democrat and I went to find out what those voters would like to say to their elected officials.
If you want the answer to the headline
though they were upset with their own Republican members of Congress, they were also fed up with the Democrats in Washington who are failing to fight back against the cuts that will put their lives in danger.
Across the three town halls, the same questions kept coming up: What are Democrats going to do? What can I do? It’s critical that our party recognizes that people feel angry and want change.
So they voted against the democrats and now they want the democrats to help them.. somehow. I really do not get this attitude at all.
No. Districts are not monolithic. Even the most red districts have a lot on left-leaning voters. It even says in the article that although he went to red districts, it was primarily democrats at the town halls.
In rural, deep red California, where last cycle a few hundred people showed up at such events, this turnout was historic. I heard from attendees who had never seen so many Democrats gather in their area before.
This is still very important though. It gives democratic voters the ability to connect with other democrats in their area. Maybe they will now feel less isolated and be more willing to openly support democratic challengers in their district.
Americans are behaving like children...
They threw a tantrum because they didn't want to eat the farina and instead threw it on the floor
Now they are hungry and complain why is nobody feeding me?
Ants and roaches are feasting on the mess and Americans cry, where is the maid that hasn't cleaned this mess up?
And when pointing out all these problems are of their own making and could have been avoided by eating the served breakfast, they say "not my fault!, why wasn't I offered the breakfast I wanted? Why wasn't I prevented from making a mess?"
They're desperate. Otherwise they wouldn't show up to such an event.
You understand that almost the same amount of people voted Dem as nazis, right?
Supporting their constituents in the class war is presented as an afterthought, as usual from the corporate Democrats, and this congresscritters proposal is just the standard right-wing, milquetoast, failed Democratic policy that got us into this mess.
There are over 100 million people without a home in USA, and this guy thinks housing 10% of them will be sufficient. He won't even say a number when it comes to minimum wage. Three fifths of the proposal is just masturbatory lust for power.
