The Republican Party is self harming, but not suicidal

Reports of their demise are exaggerations. They will be unified and well funded this fall. There will be a GOP next year and they will probably still control pay of Congress.

Organize, sign up for some cause, vote, Even if you gotta pinch your nose on some tickets, vote

"If the Democratic Party would fight as hard for the Working Class as the Republican Party fights for the Ruling Class, the Republicans would be a powerless minority party within a few election cycles.

The Democratic Party knows this, the Republican Party knows this, the Ruling Class knows this- and they've been astonishingly successful at making sure the Working Class never learns this.

The status quo was rolling along just fine, until Bernie Sanders came along and mucked it up with his crazy ideas about democracy, equality and justice."
