Look, I am sure some did organize using the Indivisible guide book plan. So what!!!!
It does not matter if citizens met, talked and then went to a town hall. That is called democracy!
Actually, I have been thrilled to see the citizen organized efforts. It's great!!!!
I reject the politicians and media making it sound like something sinister and not of value. How about reporting on the constant flow of paid lobbyists that show up to get their bills passed. Now that is sinister.

Hypocrisy much?

(3,112 posts)Yes these town halls are filled with angry people who are showing up to dress down their congressperson or senator, and maybe they are mostly or mainly democratic voters doing so, but regardless you have to ask the question: Where are all the folks who support the Trump agenda? Possibly they've gone into hiding and that would be understandable, but I am more inclined to believe that a good chunk of these protesters are also Trumpbots who are finally waking up to the fact that they may be losing their health care for good since the repukes have no intention of repairing or replacing it with something better or even half as good. They in fact have no plan at all... leaving the Trumpbots scared shitless and feeling played for suckers. Which is what they are anyway, but that's another story.

BTW: When will VooDoo donuts start making their voodoo doll donut to resemble tRump so we can bite his head off? I'd gladly buy a dozen just for the satisfaction.
