(34,286 posts)26. McConnell cant do this horrific harm to the entire country without half of us voters
consistently voting for him and telling him it is OK to do and half of the country seeming to care so little they dont vote at all.
McConnell and Ryan and friends are criminals, thieves, no different than the guy who breaks into your house only these guys wear suits.
Poor people have medicine and food that in some cases was paid for with rich people money and they WANT IT BACK.
They will do ANYTHING including giving a death sentence to 25,000 of us a year to get it back.

Yea, that's it. Or even. Our country lost when Trump played a crooked hand and took the Presidency.
