America is undergoing a massive experiment: It is moving, in fits and starts, toward a multiracial democracy, something few societies have ever done.

Republican Electoral Dysfunction (R.E.D.)
“We are watching a very small number of folks from the House Republican conference have an outsize role in promoting a lot of congressional dysfunction and fiscal dysfunction. This is a move for volatility and not a move to pass legislation. They do not have the votes [for their own policy proposals], and they know that,” said Laura Blessing, a senior fellow at the Government Affairs Institute at Georgetown University. – Washington Post
The dysfunction in the Republican Party is why the GOP should not be trusted again with the majority after next year’s election.
Don’t let Republican Electoral Dysfunction (R.E.D.) ruin your life. Vote for Democrats.
