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.

      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 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.

            Pretty much. It’s very rare to find a good faith criticism of Democrats on lemmy. All you have to do is ask what they think about Trump, or Russia. Usually you get a deflection, or crickets. Or [removed by mod]. Not allowed to criticize Dear Leader, only Democrats.
