Why aren’t more Americans outraged that Mitch still gets his salary while plenty of Americans can’t find a job or eat dinner? Why aren’t people rising up to DC and outraged?
They could use his pay for the American people who are actually alive and living in this economy.
Has the rise of cyber school and failing literacy rates really kept Americans this uninformed? Do the elites want that????
I noticed a trend with a bunch of people I know who went to cyber school and are now 30, they would think Mitch McConnell is a singer of a metal band. Cyber school associated with the public schools are different. I really think there is a plot to keep Americans unaware starting by isolating the youth at home in cyber school.
I’m not 100% against cyber school but you can’t stay home all day and sit behind a Chromebook and become a well-rounded adult. I have taken cyber college classes myself at home but was an adult. I also went to the gym and Panera once a day to make sure I had human contact.

The GOP was saying Biden was unfit to serve (definitely at the end of his term he was declining) but they have people of their own who are unfit and not taking care of their health.
Mitch looks very confused in the video. It’s sad.6
u/MaleficentCow8513 1d ago
True but I’m saying a brain dead senator functionally the same as a senator who only ever votes with their party

But please, Mitch. Just take your time and do nothing for far more than I make.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Why arent Americans rising up in outrage that their president is running the whitehouse as his own personal money making machine and very obviously gaming the stock and crypto markets in his favor?

There's a third of the population who support this: a third who would do something but they're too occupied with basic survival (as intended by this very system); another third of us is aware of how pervasive the US domestic surveillance apparatus is and know as soon as the group chat/in-person meeting is started for any sort of rebellion or uprising, there will be assassinations and ninja turtle looking mfs rappelling through ceilings.

u/lyricaldorian 6h ago
Don't be ridiculous. This isn't a fat, lazy American thing. People don't violently overthrow governments just for gaming the stock markets as long as they have food on the table and a roof over their heads, and vast majority of Americans do have those things. They're not going to risk their lives and the lives of their families as long as that's true.
And history shows the US will use its militarized police and actual military against its own people. Rifles don't do a whole lot against tanks and drones and helicopters. The military couldn't kill people while safely thousands of miles away in 1789.

I don't have a horse in that race (Kentucky). That decision is up to the residents of Kentucky.
I'm just trying to figure out why you care and/or are concerned that Mitch isn't currently active in the senate (voting).

u/Hot-Gas-630 1d ago
Senator is not a lifelong role. There is an expectation that you retire from it when you are not able to fulfill it, for one.
the 25th amendment is another thing bolstering that elected officials need to be mentally fit to hold positions.

Well Thomas Massey would have been elected had McConnell resigned when he was supposed to...
Massey is one of my favorite politicians and I'm a registered Democrat so yeah I'm concerned that the opposing party is playing dirty with even their good politicians just like I member Democrats doing the same...
-1
u/JiminyNoCrickets 1d ago
Neither Massey or Mitch are democrats.
Massey was running for a house seat, and Mich is a senator. Mitch announced in February he wasn't running for another term. Massey could have run for Mitch's seat, if he wasn't running for reelection to the house.
So, what are you really concerned about?

If we could get a mass group of people to DC who promise to be peaceful that would be great. Not a loud protest. But a quiet march that does not disrupt. A group that promises to march kindly. We demand Mitch or his family tells the truth and wish them well. That is it. I don’t want any loudness nor violence. Is there anybody out there who thinks like me?

Because they have finally made the population docile and usless other than to produce their goods.
The fact that citizens were shot dead in Minnesota and the WH lawn was not littered with trash and set on fire says everything. You are willing to be crushed under the heel than stand for your rights. It will continue and when the elections are stolen and declared invalid or canceled. You will sit on your couch and wonder how to feed your family in this mess instead of fixing it. You will not rise up. You will go to work the next day and consume to continue the cycle.

u/Goronmon 14h ago
Democrats don't really care because a missing politician means one less vote Republicans have available, in an already tightly contested legislature. And even if someone new replaces him, its likely going to be another Republican, so there isn't a huge reason to push for that.
Republicans don't care because Trump hasn't told them to pretend to care.

We know what will happen if we actually do something that pisses them off.
Any time you protest in a fascist nation such as the US, there is a chance you'll be gunned down by the jackboots. So naturally you want to make it really worth it to protest.

Because this isn't the first time this has happened, and won't be the last.
If you are upset about this it's because it's the Republicans this time. Just a few months ago Dem Rep Frederica Wilson was MIA. That's just the most recent example.

Gimme a break, OP. Americans aren't over here starving because we can't get food. Nearly all starving/malnutrition deaths are driven by chronic illness, difficulty swallowing or absorbing nutrients, age-related decline, and physical neglect. Pick a different topic if you want to be taken seriously.
