The Seattle Times:
“The WA GOP put it in writing that they’re not into democracy”
Yes, you read that right. At their convention in Tacoma last week, the Washington State GOP said the quiet part out loud: they are opposed to democracy.
Not only did WA Republicans call on people to stop using the word “democracy” and for an end to mail-in voting, but they also proposed taking away the ability to vote for U.S. senators, instead appointing them by state legislatures.
This admission from the Washington GOP shouldn’t come as a surprise.
The threat of far-right extremism is continuing to grow, and their true agenda is clear: consolidate power and play politics, without doing anything to solve the real problems we’re facing.
