She needs better security if she's going to make a career of making people's lives worse.

They're gonna be PISSED!

and now this. I'd be beyond pissed.

She seems to like attention, so maybe it'll work out for her.

If she flees from her constituents that's a character flaw on her part.

She's out for herself only and what winger lobbyists and fundraisers can get her.

When I first saw this earlier, I thought it was weird, but now, I think she doesn't deserve a moment of peace from her constituents.

is unacceptable. If it happened to anyone else, under any other circumstances, this forum would be up in arms.

wait she should use that wonderful health care she gets and see a doctor. She was attempting to evade them. What they did is nothing like what the maggots did to AOC.

1) Anyone else in the bathroom at that time gets caught up in her drama publicly without their consent and
2) makes it seem as if it is "acceptable" to harass this way anyone for "valid" political reasons - like hanging around a gendered public restroom waiting for suspected LGBT people because one is a f'ing conservative nut-job and wants to "expose" the evi-il Trans guy going into a ladies restroom on Twitter. It verges on assault, and in some situations, is assault.

I'm okay with confronting Simena, because she's a selfish coward, but not following her into a bathroom or her own hotel room.

Once the door is closed, that's it for following her. Protest outside that door, but don't assault her.

As you can see in the posts above, the only access a constituent can get to her is to pay $5400 for a seat at a fundraising event.

She is a fake and a disgrace. They are getting what they deserve for electing her. There are others like her at the other end of the scale as well unfortunately. I think congress should not have access to become lobbyists, they should not receive the best and free healthcare above everyone else and so much more. Maybe it it is not a complete solution but it would be a start. The whole system here is lacking and messed up.
