“It’s no surprise that Republicans are avoiding town halls in their districts after getting booed and protested by constituents over these harmful cuts and Musk’s actions. In contrast, Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has been rallying thousands of people in red states to stand up to Musk, Trump, and the economic royalists in power. As co-chair of Sanders’s 2020 campaign, I saw firsthand how his message transcends partisanship and gives people hope,” writes Dem Congressman Ro Khanna.
“Starting March 24th, I will be going to three red districts in California to speak out against DOGE’s mass firings and the Republicans’ Medicaid cuts. This is a moment for progressives to speak directly to people across the country, especially in places that have been hollowed out by the offshoring of jobs and failed policies that have put billionaires over the working class. We need to make the case that government can be good and effective. We need to continue fighting for Medicare for All, free public college, and a livable wage. That is how we overcome political nihilism and organize a movement to defeat DOGE and Trump,” Khanna continued in the piece printed at American Prospect.
Might be one way to make sure that actually paid protestors show up. The MAGA kind too.
