We don't have a "democracy," Leftards. We have a representative republic, and it is working just fine, which is what you are really upset about.

[Jim Noble]

Is Our Democracy at Risk?

Hopefully. Democracy is a cancer.

Gridlock Deepens Under Trump. Is Our Democracy at Risk?

"Democracy" does not mean Congress busily churning out legislation. This may be difficult for liberals to understand, but more legislation necessarily usually means less freedom, since most laws place new restrictions on Americans.

For better or for worse, unlike a Parliament, gridlock is designed into our government. Blame the founders, if you must.

NYT, you’ll see what’s at risk should you slimes drive Trump out of office.

NYT, you’ll see what’s at risk should you slimes drive Trump out of office.

Quite right. They'd better be careful what they ask for.

[libertylover]

I’d rather they pass no legislation than bad legislation. We’ve had quite enough of that.

[Revel]

Gridlock To the NYT’s means that Deep state Democrats are not getting their way. Trump is playing them like a fiddle. They are getting really worried. NYT’s is under marching orders to ATTACK. Article after Article today.

Another hit-piece against President Trump.

Gridlock is absolutely a problem when it prevents a political party from living up to its own campaign promises.

After winning control of the White House in 2016 while maintaining control of both houses of Congress, the GOP destroyed its credibility when we arrived in January 2018 and ObamaCare is still the law of the land ... just to name one example.

After 8 years of obummer, is this REALLY a serious article or are you pulling one on us, Unum? :)

[HotHunt]

"....As lawmakers recover from a dispiriting government shutdown...."

Ah, poor widdle lawmakers. Three days (over a weekend even) was SO dispiriting. I'm sure they were heartbroken. /sarc/

Now the NY Slimes are trying to blame Trump for what has been a dysfunctional congress for many years now. Gridlock in DC was happening way before Trump showed up.

But now, to find something else to blame Trump for, that "gridlock has deepen". Poppycock.

If we had the libtards utopian democracy, the country would be run by California and NYC and most likely be headed to a civil war and union dissolved.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Is our demo... establishment at risk? Uh, yep.

[AndyJackson]

The sense of gloom is bipartisan

Best news yet. If both parties are unhappy the winner has to be the American people.

[AndyJackson]

And what is wrong with gridlock in DC?

[sparklite2]

Gridlock is absolutely a problem when it prevents a political party from living up to its own campaign promises.

So, if the Repubs had been able to stop Obama’s health care bill, what would have been an absolute problem for you?

[Rebelbase]

The growing evidence of a deep state shadow government shows our Republic is in danger.

[sparklite2]

That may eventuate, anyway.

So long as there is a breathing employee of the Old Gray Whore, the American Republic is at risk
