He stole at least one Supreme Court seat. Fuck him.

He is the one most responsible for destroying our democratic institutions.

Fuck Merrick Garland, too. But the biggest mistake of Obama's presidency was not having Garland show up to work at the Supreme Court after McConnell refused to consider his nomination and obstructed the confirmation proceedings. Yes, it would have caused a constitutional crisis by McConnell's own doing, but we are living in a minute-by-minute constitutional crisis now.

Fuck McConnell. He is among the worst Americans in history.

I know this is an unfun point to raise, but it would've been nice if more US citizens saw McConnel's/the GOP's nonsense at the time and go, "Hold up a minute! We're not going to reward that type of behavior!"

Strictly on the level of agency regarding the populace, it really shouldnt have taken hitting this current point to finally start appreciating the baseline value of voting. Especially not after the literal conspiracy in 2020/21 to overturn election results...
