KY-SEN: Amy McGrath in

Y'all literally need to chill with the truly weird obsessive hatred of McConnell.

Please, won't someone think of poor McConnell???

Piping hot take incoming: I don't actually care whether McConnell believes in little d democracy or not. To be clear, I don't think he does, seeing as how he uses the power of an inherently undemocratic Senate in combination with a President who has no popular mandate. I also don't care that he clearly is only concerned with acquiring power, per se; I think there's an argument to be made that, if one truly believes that their political ideals are best for the people, then pursuing power by any means necessary is justified (after all who cares about norms when lives are on the line). My real quarrel with McConnell is the fact that he knows that his ideas are bad for most Americans and just doesn't care, and to be clear, I would hate him just as much for this if he had a popular mandate for his horrid ideals. He has shown us that he is fine oppressing, impoverishing, and literally killing hundreds of thousands in order to enrich himself and his friends and impose his perverse ideals. That sin means McConnell has blood on his hands, and it's a sin almost every Republican nationwide is at least complicit in.
