“citizens stormed town hall meetings over the ACA as well, like that did any good?”
In a way, it did some good.
A number of Congresspeople who voted for it were tossed out in 2010. They learned (or at least I hope they learned) to start listening to their constituents.
But in the short term, no, it didn’t do much good.
I don’t give a rats ass if I get flamed...I will not vote for ANY REPUBLICAN unless they agree to REPEAL of the ACA. PERIOD!
If they hem and haw they don’t have the right to “represent” their constituents. They work for us, not the other way around.
