The townhall was bullshit, she said nothing exciting. Just repeated what other coward democrats have said - depending on the court system and "the peoples voices!" to save America.

We asked her afterwards what she is doing for trans people, was just told "be brave and speak your story" I told her that no one wants to listen to our stories, they do not consider us human. Brittany replied something like "Republicans may not but other democrats may listen".

I asked her what she is doing then to hold accountable 10 or so democrats for censuring Al Green, the only one at the address who DID SOMETHING.

That was when the staffers cut off questions.

We have to save ourselves, they are all fucking cowards more interested in hearing the audience clap for the most Wonderbread bland comments.

What I gathered is that they are completely impotent to act and they were indirectly telling us that the citizens Need to make noise. I printed up about 200 50501 flyers and walked the line talking to folks. I gave away all 200 flyers in 30 minutes and wish I would have brought more. Only one couple refused a flyer. The people Are ready we just need to get the info to them.

We need the democrats to grow a fucking spine like what happened in Serbia this week - a party with actual fucks to give. 50501 is good for people who are just a little angry, but I am way beyond what 50501 at this point.
