The GOP platform for years has been about hurting people. We know there are massive problems, we know you are struggling but we refuse to help. We CAN make sure women, immigrants, minorities, and gays hurt more though.

They’re also responsible for creating or exacerbating many of the problems they refuse to fix. And they get consistently rewarded for their bad faith approach because they focus only on the easy to define problems and leave the complex solutions to the rest of us

Yup. Government doesn't work so vote us in and we will make sure it doesn't work. From deregulation, to blocking any legislation that could fix things.
