The biggest threat we have to representative Democracy is leaders who think that they are unaccountable to us; who think that they don’t answer to us; who refuse to acknowledge that *they* work for *us*.

I never *ever* EVER want to hear another Democrat complain about Republicans ignoring us if you refuse to hold Democrats to that same standard of accountability.

I’m posting screenshots of just a few people who have been blocked or ignored by the Democratic nominee for my district. You can see how benign these questions and concerns are. No one is asking out-of-bounds questions, making rude statements, or imposing “purity tests”.pic.twitter.com/BFKFbTXsLZ

Think about what you are telling people when you hand-wave this away as if it is no big deal. You’re telling college aged young people, who are just getting politically involved, and looking for a political home, that they should not expect to be heard by their representatives.pic.twitter.com/SEJp3Y4Uhg

You’re telling Independents and moderate Republicans that their voices and concerns are not welcome in this party. You’re telling local activists that their work is not valuable or necessary to the Democratic Party.

@AndrewYang@HumanityForward@EmgageAction Your endorsed candidate just blocked another constituent. This young woman just turned 18. She is just starting to get her feet wet in politics. What does it say to her that your endorsed candidate blocked her?pic.twitter.com/vyHYYdK3Bz

Replying to @DrChristineMann @AndrewYang and
I do not understand how this person was elected. What were her voters thinking? Did they have any idea at all?

We really tried to tell people but we were told over and over again that this was no big deal and that we should never be “negative” toward a fellow Dem. I’m still having people yell at me for speaking up despite all of this crap. It’s infuriating.
