Serious question: Have Democratic politicians run from constituents?

I remember that the Tea Party showed up at lots of Dem townhalls in 2010, but I can't remember ever hearing about them fleeing or avoiding constituents to the degree that the GOP have.

The GOP are such fucking cowards - they can take away people's jobs, healthcare, benefits, threaten social security, rob pensions, etc etc but cannot actually face the people they represent.

try to engage, and develop an understanding. To Republicans, that is a weakness and a waste of time.

If it ever did happen I'm sure it was never to this extent. So I say it probably never happened. Not even after one of our own was shot and some around her were murdered.
