Dems can capitalize on Republican cowardice by holding their own town halls in nearby districts where R politicians can’t be bothered to show up. Bernie and a few others have already started doing this.
Just gonna say it, wish there was another party other than Dems that way it would push them both to do things better.

If the politicians won’t come to the voters, sounds like we need to go to them. DC, local offices, homes - let them FEEL the public sentiment.
All it takes is two House members siding with Dems for a tie, and three for a Dem majority.
Republican leadership knows that, and that's why they trying to ban townhalls.
I thought Republicans were against remote work...
Start publishing their home addresses then.
You have broken the law.

Cowards! Face the people you are enslaving! Feel the heat from their angry and solemn words! If they won't show up at town halls protest outside of their fucken houses!
Many other GOP leaders have adopted a similar tack, asserting that the protests Republican lawmakers have encountered have been concocted by Democrats and do not reflect genuine voter anger over the Trump cuts.
Oh, I see. Democrats. Not genuine voters.
It is literally their job to listen to and represent their constituents. Shouldn't refusal to do that get them fired? It would in any other job!
