Notice a theme here?

Every “accomplishment” @SenateMajLdr is proudest of are things that wrecked both Senate tradition and American governance in general. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

I do not say this lightly.

I believe that it is now more important to the long-term survival of our institutions to get rid of @SenateMajLdr than Donald Trump.

He is more dangerous.

He may always have been.

In fact let me go further.

Donald Trump would be less dangerous with a Democratic Senate than Mitch McConnell was under President Obama.

McConnell had a hand in almost every bit of fuckery that happened to the American people 2009-2017.

Thanks to McConnell, our judicial branch was nearly destroyed in 2013. And *is* being destroyed now.

Thanks to McConnell, Obama was forced to accept the initial appointment of Ajit Pai in 2012. Who is destroying the Internet and communications markets as we know them.

Thanks to McConnell, some parts of the ACA were moribund even before Trump got his hands on it. He defunded the co-ops that were supposed to replace the public option.

Thanks to McConnell, a warning about Russian hacking that could have gone out to the states was suppressed.

We talk about taking back the House because it’s so much easier.

But to paraphrase a certain Republican senator...the single biggest objective we should want to achieve is making Mitch McConnell a six-term senator.
