"Organized" town-hall protests? So What!!!!

[Equinox Moon]

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.

1. At a town hall in Colorado people held up their ID's to show they were constituents.

2. you are so right

How about reporting on the constant flow of paid lobbyists that show up to get their bills passed. Now that is sinister.

3. You can't organize people who

don't want to be organized.

4. The important part: So what....

It's called democracy. People get together to fight for political purposes and go out to make some noise, generate some votes.

5. They've been pissing on that word since they sneered about Obama being a 'community organizer.'

6. They had no objection to organized Tea Party protests, did they?

When the target of the protests were Democrats, they called the organized protestors "patriots."

Hypocrisy much?

7. Anything progressive, or liberal, or democrat, gets spun and trashed.

10. IOKIYAR.

[MrPurple]

13. and those were seriously astroturfed by the Koch's in the beginning

8. And this too...

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.

9. Organized? Pfft....

"I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat."

[panader0]

11. What you said. So you hear about a town hall, call a couple of friends,

and poof! --You're an organizer.

[Equinox Moon]

15. Exactly!

And, it is a GOOD thing! Not something sinister.

12. Nah, it's all about saving the donuts

That's the rethugs' new line: "Think of all the donuts these liberal organizers are devouring! We must protect the donuts!"

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.

14. George Soros is paying them, dontcha know?

I'm still waiting for my check from the Women's March!

[Tracyjo]

17. President Obama would be proud

The people are doing just as he suggested.
