If you want the answer to the headline

though they were upset with their own Republican members of Congress, they were also fed up with the Democrats in Washington who are failing to fight back against the cuts that will put their lives in danger.

Across the three town halls, the same questions kept coming up: What are Democrats going to do? What can I do? It’s critical that our party recognizes that people feel angry and want change.

So they voted against the democrats and now they want the democrats to help them.. somehow. I really do not get this attitude at all.

No. Districts are not monolithic. Even the most red districts have a lot on left-leaning voters. It even says in the article that although he went to red districts, it was primarily democrats at the town halls.

In rural, deep red California, where last cycle a few hundred people showed up at such events, this turnout was historic. I heard from attendees who had never seen so many Democrats gather in their area before.

This is still very important though. It gives democratic voters the ability to connect with other democrats in their area. Maybe they will now feel less isolated and be more willing to openly support democratic challengers in their district.

Supporting their constituents in the class war is presented as an afterthought, as usual from the corporate Democrats, and this congresscritters proposal is just the standard right-wing, milquetoast, failed Democratic policy that got us into this mess.

There are over 100 million people without a home in USA, and this guy thinks housing 10% of them will be sufficient. He won't even say a number when it comes to minimum wage. Three fifths of the proposal is just masturbatory lust for power.

This reply looks like some “get discouraged and angry” bullshit right here. Of course repeating the targeted message of the month about Democrats. And a wild falsehood about the homeless rate in the US.

I mean, yeah. They supported a genocide for a year and three months. That's bad. They keep voting with the trump administration. That's also bad.

They keep doing bad things. You want silence from their critics.

Is voting for/with Trump's wants good for America and its people, yes or no? To me, it's no. I don't think we should Trump anything he wants.

Oh shit you're getting dangerously close to criticizing the Republicans instead of the Democrats! Pull up! Pull up!
