Democratic lawmakers have faced eruptions of anger at town hall meetings across the country this week, as constituents have coupled their fury over President Donald Trump’s actions with deep frustration over what they see as a feckless Democratic response.

      …which is the true goal of these “hello there, fellow leftist” bastards who exclusively attack Democrats.

        If they occupy the only space to defeat Trump and they do a bad job at it, of course they get “attacked.”

        If they don’t want to be criticized, they shouldn’t be public figures. If they don’t want to have people have actual reasons to call them out, they shouldn’t have and keep unpopular policies. If they don’t want to represent their people, they shouldn’t be in office.

            Propaganda = criticism

            Got it, don’t call out your favorite team, they’re immune to critcism. Calling them out is woke propaganda. Sources proving them owned by corporations? DEI news Russian media.

        I think it’s the true goal of these “actually Joe Biden is great and you’re an idiot for thinking otherwise” bastards who exclusively attack leftists. Thinly veiled reverse psychology designed to piss people off into not voting or voting third party.

          I’ll never get how they think critizing Democrats is a personal attack on them. I’ve never considered it despite being registered Dem for 99% of my time as a voter.

          If you can get pissed off enough to vote for literal fucking Nazis, you deserve the attacks.
