Getting booed on camera at town halls and other public events probably has a big impact. A lot of critical calls, comments on social media, and people at protests will give them a sense of how many people feel this way.

Absolutely - the town halls are meeting a real need - allowing constituents of republicans to have their voices heard. Requesting tuberville and Britt holds those in Alabama - listen to us, talk to us, support us - to date you have not!

Republicans need to develop a spine, now! Look at Governor Mills of Maine…she is standing up for the people of Maine ✊🏻

Let's all ask Republican so called male politicians when they were nurtured and spine's removed and do they call themselves men?

It’s not the best, it’s what we’re left with. Republicans sold this country out to snake oil salesman.

May Day seems like an opportunity to plan for

It would be best if that pressure were directed to impact Congress Repubs, i.e. R voters furious about damage they see/feel - confronting legislators.
They are only concerned about losing their seat. Must feel greater pressure from voters, than from Trump.
Simple as that.

Love this, but what do those of us that don’t have GOP lawmakers to confront do to apply pressure? All my Reps & Sens are Dem & are so far holding the line. How do we apply pressure?

We need an app that makes it easy to complain to GOP reps about cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, social security, support for farmers, support for vets, grocery & gas prices, etc. (like 5-calls) for voters in red states.

And voting chicken sh*t politicians out.

I doubt they'll go against their leader, but at least we can make them feel like wads of shit.

Should be noted she hasn’t held any public info sessions in her district… no congressional reps have.

FWIW, her bf now a naval officer was collaborating with known right wing extremists in 2020. And, she stands to personally profit from the regime… curious she’s not organizing people at home, no?

Noting she did “host a roundtable” that was an invite only event for about 10 people at a health clinic in her district.

I lived in San Diego in 2020. I recall her being a very unremarkable candidate that used her family’s money to flood the zone with ad-buys and mailers.

True, Gomez (our former council member & grassroots organizer) didn’t have much of a shot against such deep pockets.

True.
