Cowards.

And then they will be shocked when the constituents use their voice at their homes, offices, restaurants...

rebekahwriter.bsky.social•5 days ago

Places of worship, grocery store, parking garage...

Their cowards. I think the Democrats need to get out and start doing Town Hall meetings and find out what's going on so they can get together a plan. We need to vote those Republicans out.

Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee hasn’t had a town hall in 8 years

hopelaughlove.bsky.social•5 days ago

She doesn’t have a clue what a ‘town hall’ is - she is the dumbest Senator I have seen in my lifetime. Only promotes hate and hasn’t passed one damn bill for her constituents!!! Why do folks in TN vote for someone like her is beyond me

chocolaterian.bsky.social•5 days ago

Based on my neighbors, they only watch Fox and listen to Trump and, at the moment, Musk

craigfaanes.bsky.social•5 days ago

such chickenshits.

zachsheikh.bsky.social•5 days ago

They care more about Trump than the 1st Amendment

We can see mid-term voters from the town hall protesters. We may see the same from the Gaza people that didn't vote or threw their vote away on 3rd Party.

Storm the capital

If they didn't show up, constituents can sign petition to recall.

annmartin1947.bsky.social•4 days ago

Some states have the Recall option for state and local officials, but there is no option to Recall federally.

But the idea of Ds holding town halls would still send the message that their seats might be in jeopardy.

olenatheshroomlady.bsky.social•4 days ago

That was outstanding idea. If you watched Dems holding meeting calling Elon for questioning, that was insightful. I wish someone helped to video tape and promote those meetings

mypolitics.bsky.social•5 days ago

A small group of influential democrats need to schedule town halls in red districts across the country. Start now since their elected officials will not.

filmfluent.bsky.social•5 days ago

The French revolutionaries had some interesting ideas about "redress."

dolfin513.bsky.social•5 days ago

I hope they realize, this is the end of their political careers. We will see to it, they lose those seats. We put them in those seats and we can put someone else into them. Bunch of fvcking lackeys.

rebekahwriter.bsky.social•5 days ago

Or Trump will consolidate all power to the executive branch and renders them impotent.

dolfin513.bsky.social•4 days ago

A little taste of their own medicine. No consolation to us tho.

shepersist4us.bsky.social•4 days ago

They’re a bunch of
P-ssys

jdeanb.bsky.social•4 days ago

Face the people you are hurting, you fucking cowards.

paganlady.bsky.social•5 days ago

We have 1 option. He should be tried for giving aid and comfort to insurrectionists. He has violated our constitution, admitted to election fraud, and nothing is happening. Maine has it right, cut them OFF. If Gavin did, red states would be broke in a month.

sluggishcheetah.bsky.social•5 days ago

The states don’t gather federal taxes, the citizens and companies do that directly. Gavin doesn’t have the power to do that.

paganlady.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh, but they actually do…Maine can ban federal tax collection or did you miss that Boston Tea Party? California is also its own Republic. You need to read that constitution a bit more closely…

sluggishcheetah.bsky.social•4 days ago

What are you talking about? Since when has Maine collected taxes for the Feds? California doesn’t do that.

paganlady.bsky.social•4 days ago

They don’t collect taxes for the Feds directly, but they can ban tax collection. Y’all don’t know what is in the constitution. FFS. Article 147. Grow a brain.

sluggishcheetah.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh hey, show me article 147 of the constitution.

sluggishcheetah.bsky.social•4 days ago

You never convince anyone that you are right by being an asshole, but you will convince them you are an asshole. Great work!

sluggishcheetah.bsky.social•5 days ago

Seems like it should be a requirement of the office to regularly meet with assemblies of constituents.

richp86.bsky.social•5 days ago

Citizens should still hold town halls and invite their representatives and the media for open discussions. When the cowardly reps don't show, there's the media to cover the voters' grievances.

whteva324.bsky.social•3 days ago

YES!!!!! 🙌

barbwire-1955.bsky.social•5 days ago

So hid from their constituents ?

lfeatfan.bsky.social•5 days ago

If the public agrees that what Trump and Musk are doing is a good thing, then why are the Republicans worried about interacting with their constituents? Maybe showing angry people at these town hall meetings is not the happy face they're trying to paint on what's going on

lsdaif.bsky.social•5 days ago

Hahaha.
They still believe daddy Trump loves them and will save them.
They can die on that hill. Idgaf.

spawn03.bsky.social•5 days ago

Same. 🍿

patriot2025.bsky.social•5 days ago

The problem is by the time they're done I won't have anything to live on including the stock market that's dumping everything. I will have nothing.
