It’s obvious that worthless man can’t handle the heat from peaceful, upset Americans and tries to downplay their concerns by pretending they are insurrectionists. What a worthless mediocre white man.

Cowards. In Iowa they hold them while people are at work too, just in case.

Tyranny is rising on the MAGA side of the aisle in Congress as well, apparently.

If your GOP congress person does not hold a townhall, have one for them. Cutouts work well, invite the media. Email, call their office daily. The more you stand up to them, the harder it is for them to stay silent. The rich/powerful will only take this country if we let them. Don't stay quiet.

I honestly don’t know what people expected. They voted in the mafia. And now they are unhappy??

Only encouraged if it gets more than lip service. These morons do not care what their constituents say or want. The system right now is rigged to keep them in office.

Perhaps they should have reminded McCormick they didnt assault police, break into his offices and spread faeces on his walls.

time to be ahead of it, Europeans always had the best response to this, drag them out. it's either you fear your representatives or they fear you when it comes down to it.

And if these people reelect their members again next year, they deserve every ounce of pain they voted for.

If they don't hold town halls we go to their offices. If they don't go to their offices we protest outside their homes.

darkangel224.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Then the people need to bring the town halls to them. Hold them outside of their offices and etc.

contemplative123.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Town halls are the go to move at this time. If Republicans don't show there should be a Democrat that shows up (even in the red states) to explain why the Republican(s) didn't show and why they are hurting the people. We could win big in 2026. All Republicans up for reelection in 2026 can lose.

If you think election will be fair in 2026 you are not paying attention. Elon is installing Palantir AI in your systems and is preparing for his hostile takeover of America with Peter Thiel in league with Putin.

Hey, but the J6 insurrectionists got pardoned. They’re heroes, right?

luke-givens.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I love how the GOP bases its whole identity on rage bait and calling their opposition “snowflakes” but the second they’re held accountable it’s all, “if you can say something nice, don’t say anything at all.”

When you are handed everything on a silver platter, you never have to grow up to get it yourself.

WE THE PEOPLE can hold a town hall whether the damn representative is there or not. We can gather, plan, organize and PREPARE. Do the representatives really want that? Does the government really want that? Because WE THE PEOPLE are READY AND WILLING.

WE ARE THE MANDATE.

I have, multiple times - his rude staff are always ready w sign-in sheets and comment forms but no sign of him and “can’t say” when his next town hall will be. Liars protecting a coward!

Strength in numbers. Get a like minded group together, the bigger the better. If he won't see you in his office, take it to his home. When the inevitable " a person's home should be off limits" comes, give them the receipts. Record every turn away from his office.
