Interesting political move by McConnell, who like Hitler is counting on his opponents' cowardice. Strange for him to make a move that so infuriates his opposition, 8 days before they start counting ballots.
Last, desperate move of obsolete political party? Or foreshadowing of intent to impose dictatorship? Will be interesting to see how the election turns out.
I think Trump loses but voter suppression allows the Republicans to squeak out enough senate wins to maintain the majority, making McConnell absolutely correct in anticipating no consequences to the huge middle finger he gave to America just now.
We'll see i guess.
Well where was this anger from the radical left wing twitter in 2016 when people were begging them to vote for Clinton precisely because the Supreme Court was on the ballot. It was always in the balance, the constitution was always in the balance, so was the future of the country. I fully hope that this anger sustains them to turnout and vote for Democrats in 2022, 2024 and every single midterm, Presidential and special election over the next 30 years because Republicans can’t be allowed to gain any type of power any time soon.
As for Mitch McConnell, he’s the classic comic book/movie villain. He’ll gladly see the world burn to the ground just to satisfy his own goals and ego. He doesn’t care if he loses the Senate because his seat is safe. You’re very right he could be threading the needle, but Democrats have two pickups in CO and Arizona and only need two more to take control of the Senate. Remember for McConnell, he’s the hero of his own journey he only cares about the right wing history books will right about him. Everyone else can **** off
