Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Here's the thing I don't get about this. Let's say they are Democrats. So what? Like it or not, he's still their representative, and they have the right to have their voices heard just as much as Republican voters. Angry Democrat constituents in your district are still angry constituents.
If they think that the town halls are being filled with "Democrat operatives", what's stopping them from inviting a whole bunch of Republicans to drown them out?
And if they arent democrats, it's political suicide to claim they are.
Well, he set up a softball town hall meeting in a deep red county of under 3,000 people so he KNOWS those damn demonrats are from out of town!
Since when can his constituents travel?!
Yucca Valley, a republican city where you’d regularly see Trump flags everywhere, trashed their local rep when he came by recently.
they couldn't find enough of those people because that many of them (that aren't pissed at at least something the fucktard, dipshit, and furniture molester are doing) don't actually exist, and they couldn't afford to pay enough people or actors to fake it.
The billionaire party can't afford this, but apparently George Soros alone has no problem paying "democrat operatives". If this were the case, wouldn't these capitalist-worshiping losers be praising Soros for being such a brilliant billionaire capitalist?
Imagine being the richest person in the world and still not having enough money to pay people.
the billionaires at the top don't give a shit about a lowly first-term senator from rural central kansas, a state whose voters have elected only one democrat to the u.s. senate....ever (in the 1930s). the only other two democrats to serve in the u.s. senate, eight years combined between them, representing kansas was even earlier than that back when the state legislature chose them.
