Mitch McConnell is actually the best Metaphor for, and representation of, America and our political system. He spent almost a century making the world a better place for only himself and his friends, married an immigrant while working tirelessly against other immigrants, manipulated the system to increase his power only to be usurped & made impotent by someone even more unethical, unscrupulous and power hungry. Then when the system is finally done with him, they keep his dead body on life support just to use him for one more power move until finally allowing him sweet sweet death while his wife flees the country and his children go into hiding. And when it's all said and done, he'll be best remembered for a meme that made him into a turtle. America.
And yet the French have a decent rail system, paid family leave, paid sick leave, a social safety net, 99% literacy, a younger retirement age, higher life expectancy, and so on

there actually is a chance that, rather than lying to us, all these GOP morons have in fact been bamboozled by a staffer using an AI rendering of Mitch McConnell's voice. which is what I'm hoping for because it's way funnier.
“Gimme a Tea Party”
“Ogey”
“But hold the populism”
“Hold the populism?”
“And hold the rapist”
“Hold the rapists? Hey Jimmy, gimme a Tea Party with nothin’!”
the thing that unsettled me about Platner- and unsettles me about a lot of post-2016 socdem politics- is there was never a real theory of change or a plan. there was never a why. a political stance as a set of positions and not a way of approaching the world.
We interrupt your smugness-orgy to remind that Janet Mills: stable, reliable, conventional, impeccable pedigree, college educated,,got FUCKING STOMPED (SEVENTY TWO PERCENT!!!) in the primaries to “unstable, “unvetted.” That’s your “brand!” It fucking sucks dick!
