Voters should now understand that these guys and gals in the Republican party work for billionaires not the every day taxpayer. Not the veterans, not police officers, firemen. Not the teachers, the guy working in a small business, or owning a small business. No one but billionaires. PERIOD!!
In a way, they are doing everyone a favour - nothing that is said at these meetings matters to the man in the big chair. Just as his shouting match with Zelenskyy, this should be wake up call to all those who still believe that respect and institutions will get US out of this mess …
Protestors need to target republicans district offices and protest. They need to invite the media, enter the buildings and do sit-ins. They need to get arrested and do all the ensuing media to attack the policies making them face arrest. This is no time to let them avoid the spotlight. Local media
You'd think they would be feeding off the chance to 'own the libs' in their own red districts like Homer Simpson chowing down on a box of donuts.
Wussies.
So if the Republicans leaders can't stand the heat their going to get out and not care what the very people that voted for them think ? Wow wait until it's time you're looking for the same people to vote you back in.
Reminder that Speaker Mike Johnson believes the town hall forums are being filled with paid protesters he has no desire to speak with Democrats and suggested shut down if town halls
Someone needs to start holding bi partisan meetings in these districts ! Spreading news among people that it’s they voice that matters - regardless of who they voted for. If you call it Democrat meetings, half of people won’t attend even though they strongly agree with views expressed there !
Exactly- they need to be billed as a safe place to to talk about issues and concerns. If democrats fill that void it could make a huge difference. Plus people will need help and resources- things are going to get ugly quickly.
Is time his feet is held to the fire🔥because they’ve lied🤥to the public and their constituents.Sadly,they chose to vote for ineptitudes knowing they won’t prioritize their concerns in every aspect of their lives all because they love Trump and hate Kamala because she’s a woman and person of colour
Wake Up! Putin displays psychopathic behavior. The level of cruelty and insanity that we are experiencing is nothing short of psychopathic/sociopathic behaviors. It is time for everyone to call it what it is.
Democrats have to step into the void. Hold town halls in red districts. Set up empty chairs with the names of the cowardly GOP congresscritters. Tell the people what's really happening and let them vent. This is such a no-brainer.
And yet they aren't. There can only be so many reasons.
If anyone can come up with something besides cowardly careerism or the fact that most of them will benefit from Trump's tax cuts as the reasons I'd love to hear them.
Same here. Probably both. The get elected, realize they'll be fine if they play along, they get rich, and they quickly airlock the rest of us. I've watched this for 40+ years.
GOP are not doing their jobs of governing for their constituents.
Voted in by their constituents to protect them and then refusing to fight for their assistance, rights, freedoms.
Congress is supposed to be a separate entity to prevent a Tyrant from ruling as King.
Just because the coward Republican doesn’t show up to a town hall doesn’t mean you can’t still have one. Set up a cardboard replica and air your grievances and also film it and share on social media. They can go into hiding but their constituents will not be silenced.
My rep had about five town halls scheduled with a sign-up to attend, but didn't bother to list the actual date or location of the events on his website.
I also never received any information from his office after I signed up.
Well, we knew that was coming—but, all ‘House Reps’ must take up the mantle and immediately conduct town halls throughout each state.
💥Inform the people💥
STAT!
It’s one way. The other way is the people going directly to their representatives en masse and making them uncomfortable enough by asking their questions that the cowards wish they had held the damn town halls.
YES! When will @democrats.org get it?!? Dems need to have town halls in Rethuglican districts. Their voters have been lied to for years bring them some truth.
They don't want to meet with you because they KNOW what they are doing is wrong. Criminals that commit crimes that can hurt or embarrass their families, friends and neighbors act exactly the same way. Willing to commit the crime, but too ashamed to face their own people.
That WAS "the way" for the Dems back in 2017-19. But those tactics won't substitute for a laser-focused platform of workers-rights, social housing and confiscatory taxes on the upper 5%. Or aggression. But liberals will liberal.
Scale this up across the nation. Dem's will thrive in town halls while GOP cower.

I just know dem leadership is going to shit all over him for this. They don’t want to do shit and they don’t want voters to think that they have any bearing on their decisions at all.
I don’t recall a Democrat not having a town hall meeting or not meeting with their constituents. Unless they were really bad or flipped to the other side. Old enough to remember AOC going down to Texas to help people when the power grid went out and Cruz went to Cancun.
Please come to Scottsdale Arizona @timwalzparody.bsky.social. Our representative David Schweikert is way too much of a coward to have a town hall in person

Hell, yes, this should be going on every single day in every town across America.! Democrats need to be there for the people, to tell the truth and preach the way!!!
Yes! If Republicans won’t discuss issues Dems should have forums. In Dubuque IA on Sat 3/1, about 150 citizens showed up for a forum about state issues. Republican elected officials no showed so Dems officials had the floor
@governorwalz.mn.gov We here in Saugatuck/Douglas MI hereby invite you to an upcoming townhall, because Rep. Huizenga hasn’t had one in 8 years…and won’t commit to one now.
I hope they REALLY do this and it's not just talk.
Republican Voters are getting angry too. Whoever listens to them and leads everyone to do the right things, will be their leader after it's over, and the Broligarchs and wannabe dictators have gone into hiding with Putin.
The Democrats should get up, en masse, and walk out when Trump is introduced to the Congress tonight. It would not only be the right thing to do, but it would be the lead story tomorrow instead of Trump's speech.
I’ve thought maybe the Dem who lost last year should host town halls with a bunch of “this is what I’d be doing” in response to concerns, and then next year the Dem who’s running do the same.
Like, not giving into the shame and decency that today’s Republicans will never have.
Timothy Snyder said the same thing. Have a people cabinet. Let them show the public what they could be having, doing, using to solve problems that the GOP/Trump are destroying. Keep the public informed of impacts.
Governor, maybe you can take a super short drive and come visit us in CD2. Angie Craig is hyper focused on farmers and small businesses ( certainly worthy of SOME of her focus) forgetting about the true progressives in her district. She is NOT meeting the moment. We’d love to have you! 💙
I hope he is serious as I just sent a lot of people in the midwest his way! Hopefully he has suggestions on others who could be called in. Was this on X?
I think he gave away the memo! Shhhhhh
Dems need to stop preaching to the choir and match into MAGA territory and hold town hall meets. Wear helmets, shields, body armor whatever but they are the ones that need their eyes opened!
I really respect how Walz is out there along with a few others like my Governor Pritzker. Unfortunately, they seem to be the exception and not the rule.
Absolutely. If any Republican won't meet face to face with their constituents, who will ever challenge or want to challenge that Rep should organize a town hall, listen to their issues and provide feedback. That puts even more pressure on their reps and maybe set up for a flipped district.
This is what I want from Democrats, and this is what I want from a Democratic president.
I dont want them to just sit in congress and vote (Actually I want them to not vote for any republican measure at all) I want them to go out to the districts. I want them to use every tool they have.
Gov Walz is pure heart. I’m heartbroken that people voted to dismantle the department of education instead of providing free school lunch for all kids.
But also, if you want more folks to be able to know what the way is, I would suggest you/whoever is doing the posting on this account use alt text that includes all the text in the above screenshot.
This helps low vision and no vision folks, dyslexic folks who may need screen readers, and even just folks living in areas where the internet is too slow to load images. (The Dems do want to help bring rural folks in, right?)
If GOP won't set times to meet with their constituents, then their constituents need to come to them. All the time. At their offices, homes, anywhere any time.
So, @paulaptb.bsky.social let me know that democrats need to be invited in red areas. We can’t just barge in there.
If you are in a red district and your rep isn’t holding a town hall, reach out to your local DNC office to see if they will send someone. Talk to your friends, family, neighbors.
We could use him in Brian Fitzpatrick’s district. Brian posts photo ops in FB & is worried about bromides in bread (his post 3/4/2025) but he doesn’t seem to care about treason.
YES! Any Democrat who's planning on running for office in teh next election should be hosting public town halls in their republican opponents district.
Why aren't any consultants telling democrats this?
He could have been our VP. It is heartbreaking 💔. Vermont would be thrilled if he took his family there to ski. We need fighters in this battle. This is how it’s done.
We agree! So we made a list of blue districts who are next to red districts with information for people in red districts to get their closest House Dem to hold a town hall:
TBF, DEMs are trapped by the corrupting lax elecxn finance rules imposed by Robert's & the other RW extremists on SCOTUS. Candidates play by those rules or don't get elected. Elections have consequences; sometimes they are delayed, but rarely are they unforseen. We were warned abt this consequence.
Guys, it's nice and all, but there might not even be any elections in two years. They've got to be stopped now, at all costs. They're breaking laws in order to turn the country into a fascist dictatorship, so any legal considerations you're having should go by the wayside at this point.
We are so lucky to have a decent caring man such as you to show how SICK the other party is. They need to be removed as soon as possible from any power.
Republicans are scared of the people they represent.
They are NOT paid Democrats. Only chicken shit MAGA Mike and cronies are more afraid of the Crazy Orange baby.
Same they are PUSSIES. Every last one of Republicans. Spineless and No balls. If we survive the DEPRESSION in Dec.2025 Vote them out.
Yes!! Send a weekly Town Hall Express out into the hinterland, but especially to those Republican districts where incumbent is vulnerable. Buttigieg and Co.
@timwalzparody.bsky.social should hold town halls in districts where Republicans are refusing to do so, and should introduce local Dems who are running for office there.
That might backfire, it's not as though people are too happy with the group whose inaction led us to people checking out and voting in the present horror.
Make absolutely no mistake: they thought they'd just let Trump win, let others fight to unfuck this situation, and wait smirking at the finish line demanding their old cushy jobs back to reset everything to just before the wheels fell off.
Get the people fired up about a 1/4 reduction of federal student loans for Pell Grant recipients who own small businesses that employ at least 3 PoCs and slightly less overtly transphobic policies!
Perhaps this an approach to the "shadow cabinet" idea we've all been mulling. It needs to be a noisy and well organized campaign of well known and expert communicators showing up on time in every flashpoint district.
running scared….. make them run!
show up in their offices and demand answers there.
Not sure why these guys think they can just harm their own voters and somehow they won’t get mad
Joe often said Charlottesville was what finally prompted him to run, & Harris, if she’s running again, shoulda seen Friday as her own red line, & regardless definitely shoulda been utilizing her new spare time to do exactly what Walz is proposing here. But if she won’t step up, Walz all the way.
I love my Gov! Has integrity. Delivers results for his state. Doesn’t mince words. Cares about people more than profit. Oh, if only more office holders demonstrated these values!
Time to recall all republicans. Rule of law doesn’t matter to republicans so we can recall all congressmen who do not did what their constituents want.

Democrats should be having town halls in republican districts instead, offering to hear their concerns and offering solutions if voted back in power.
Wussies.
If the members are getting pressure from BOTH sides, some of them might change their minds about succumbing to the threats...
#PublicServant my ass
embarrass them in public for supporting illegal and idiotic policies
make your voice heard
It was all fun to trash other humans & livelihoods, but it's starting to clap back & kick them in the pant$.
Asking for.... No particular reason.
They will surrender.

Like, not giving into the shame and decency that today’s Republicans will never have.
A parallel voice of reason in the chaos.
When it's increasingly obvious even to ACTUAL MAGA supporters that everything's now FUBAR.
But sure, House reps being ordered *not* to speak to their constituents – while state Dems do exactly that – will totally work! 🤦♂️
Dems need to stop preaching to the choir and match into MAGA territory and hold town hall meets. Wear helmets, shields, body armor whatever but they are the ones that need their eyes opened!
Americans love bold fighters. So, Dems, be bold. Go into Republican districts. Talk to the constituents your GOP colleagues are running away from.
I dont want them to just sit in congress and vote (Actually I want them to not vote for any republican measure at all) I want them to go out to the districts. I want them to use every tool they have.

But Walz et al need to go one step further.
If GOP won't set times to meet with their constituents, then their constituents need to come to them. All the time. At their offices, homes, anywhere any time.
If you are in a red district and your rep isn’t holding a town hall, reach out to your local DNC office to see if they will send someone. Talk to your friends, family, neighbors.
And if you are a dem and you are going, remember the Smoot Hawley’s tariffs led to the new deal, FDR, and the fifth party.
