Is democravy broken?

The chaos of the House of Representatives and the deep divisions in our country threaten our system of government.

I lay most of the blame at the feet of the former President. But he just nurtured and brought to fruition what was already there.

The way some people want to treat immigration means we should take down the statue of Liberty.

The way some people want to limit voting rights means we are not 'one nation under God with liberty and justice for all'.

Threats to Social Security leave the growing number of elders at risk of not having what they need.

Racial profiling comes into play every day.

Things that I have heard about supporting Russia against Ukraine leave me feeling like I don't know those people.

The Super Rich seem to think their wealth matters more than the well being of all Americans.

Democracy isn't broken.

We are--as a people.

And I don't know what can make us whole again.

Pray my friends, that we can find a way to come together again.
