The few lawmakers who held town halls this summer faced voters furious with Republicans about Trump's agenda and with Democrats for not doing enough to fight back.

With political tensions running high, the vast majority of congressional lawmakers steered clear of town halls this summer. The handful who entered the lion’s den were met with boos, jeers and tense confrontations.

President Donald Trump and the Republicans may have full control of Washington, but protesters spared neither political party. At 25 town halls across the country that were viewed or attended by NBC News this summer, voters pressured Democrats to deploy more aggressive tactics as they battle Trump and took them to task over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Meanwhile, Republicans faced hostile crowds over their support for Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” his nationwide immigration crackdown and Trump’s deployment of federal forces to Washington, D.C., in what he has called an effort to crack down on crime.

It’s also what all the court cases said so far.

Too bad more people didn’t get off their asses and voted for Harris when it mattered.

Because they were fine with Trump winning.

The left kept telling you that if you didn't abandon genocide support, you would lose.

Centrists made their choice.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why doesn’t the left run candidates?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Keep gloating that we didn't get primaries and that you got two candidates that represent you.
