    Avoiding constituents is peak cowardice—if you can’t face voters, you shouldn’t hold office.

      I guess I’m an ignorant fuck because I thought that these town halls were required by law in some way. It’s insane they can just be like “nah, not gonna show up”. It should be an instant impeachment by law.

        yeah the law should just automatically depose cowards who don’t face their constituents.

        unfortunately we sort of have a “who watches the watchers” situation here. expecting lawmakers to make laws to police themselves is ridiculous. idk what can be done for that honestly. the French had some ideas back in the day though.

          The American Revolution inspired the French Revolution, hopefully the French Revolution can inspire an American Revolution.
