Harassed by his constituents???? He is their Representative! It’s not harassment… it’s telling him to be their Representative.
It’s amazing these reps and senators that get voted in and then believe they should vote only the way they feel.

These politicians let personal feelings get in the way of their job rather then vote the way their voters want them too.
His job is to vote how he believes he should vote. Not to mirror public sentiment on every issue.
Are you serious? The word "representative" describes the exact opposite of what you just posted. He is representing the public that voted for him. They expect him to vote in a manner that represents their interest.

This. Buck’s folks should do some polling in his district to confirm whether or not he is out of line with his constituents.

Correct. Vote the will of your constituents.

This is exactly the way the people need to handle these frickers. Obviously I disagree with death threats but I have no problem with the rest.

This is quite hilarious in today's politics. And you are absolutely delusional if you think any Democrat is reaching a hand across the isle to help a Republican out.

Do you have the votes for Jordan?
How are you going to get the votes for Jordan?

@Roger
They've turned on you quickly, lol. You're 99% on their side, but par for the course, MAGA demands absolutely fealty.
Bright side is, say Marxist 3x and you're back in the mix.

quote:yeah, it sounds like dude at least needs to hold an open house meeting in his district. If his constituents are furious with his vote to the point of constant harassment, it's clear he's not fulfilling his obligations to them.
Well he’s not in line with the people that voted for him as he said as much himself. Ye was elected for their voices not his status

You can't be harassed by the people you purportedly represent voicing their concerns.

quote:Hence the open house meeting. Make it known, and easily available for the general public. If he's shouted down by the majority of the crowd that shows (and it's well attended), it shows he needs to change his vote. If it's just a few who holler, then it's the vocal minority.quote:

He should explain who the options are, and what his opposition (and support) are for each.
Really, most of the Reps doing this should do this right now. It's pretty apparent we're close to being sucked into war alongside Israel (a traditional close ally), especially now that people are beginning to storm our embassies. It seems paramount that we at least have a fully-functioning Congress to address this.
At some point if the perfect choice is not there, you have to take the best option.
Otherwise, we're going to see the Executive Branch make the call to send troops "in support", without Congressional oversight.

Oh! The horror! We can't have angry constituents calling their representative and voicing their displeasure!
