      This is a human being we’ve talking about. You can dislike him as much as you want but don’t be rude.

        You’re asking us to have sympathy for someone who has ruined the lives of millions of people for his own gain and is actively continuing to do so. I hope it’s a stroke and I hope it hurts.

        I say this with as much respect as it deserves. Fuck Mitch McConnell, I hope he dies a painful death, and fuck anyone who thinks that he deserves any amount of respect or human dignity. He has been undermining the American people for decades and has has helped millions of people die due to republican policy.

        There are 8 billion humans on this planet, neither him nor any one else is special in any way. We are all just sacks of meat and then we die. So wishing ill of a particularly rotten sack of meat is perfectly acceptable.

        When that fucker has done more damage and caused so much death I don’t give a damn what he is.

        He’s a shit human being and I will celebrate the moment he is out of our misery because of the very direct pain he’s caused.

        Agreed. Hate people all you want, but outside of like Hitler or Osama Bin Laden, there’s no reason for a good person to wish for someone to die.

          No reason? McConnell works to make the lives of thousands of people worse, on purpose. The world would be better if he wasn’t in it. Seems like enough reason to me.

          Bin Laden was terrible but I don’t know about him and hitler in the same category.

          He watched thousands of his own people and civilians get killed by the US before he reacted. Was his reaction wrong? Yes. Should he have stood trial in the US? Yes. Is he on the same scale as hitler? Not even close.

            Fair, wasn’t sure who else to include in the example… Mao? Lenin? The “scientist” who led all the human trials in the holocaust?

          McConnell has killed far more people than Bin Laden. Just the number of people who die from lack of affordable medical care is 15 9/11s every year.

          I can understand the hate. Mitch is one of the architects of the current political environment. Obstruct, shift blame, and stack the courts… he’s been a leader in all of that. The world as a whole will not be worse off when he’s gone.
