    And by far most of these booing voters will just vote for this very same guy again the next time he’s up for reelection. Rural voters have been so predictable it’s why these politicians can just walk away from town halls like this, they know they still have the votes.

    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.

      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.

      The interesting thing about Lemmy being an echo chamber is that I feel like it is the 4th or 5th echo chamber I’ve been accused of being in.

      It’s starting to seem like voter suppression and propaganda were the real problems after all and not people like us being “in an echo chamber.”

      The presidential vote is not a complete picture. Kansas regularly votes in Democratic governors and they voted in favor of abortion protections. The eastern side of the state is less conservative than you might think.

    All these Antifa farmers and veterans asking questions about getting bankrupted by Elon administration policies are clearly woke trans communist activists in disguise. Be sure to tell them that when it comes time for the midterms.
