Two Words of Plain Political Language > Ditch Mitch!

He's blocking the Halls of Congress. He's standing in the way. Times are changing throughout the land for those of us who want a swift change of direction—or anything akin to a new New Deal

Don’t Just Dump Trump, Ditch Mitch McConnell

Ending Donald Trump’s presidency isn’t enough. Democrats also have to take McConnell’s position as majority leader

"This is the day that should mark the beginning of the end of the torturous presidency of Donald John Trump. But replacing Trump with Joe Biden is an entirely insufficient goal for a moment in history so perilous as the one in which the United States’ 59th quadrennial presidential election is being conducted. This is also the day when Mitch McConnell’s vice grip on the United States Senate can be broken. . . So on this Election Day and in the days that follow, I’ll be watching the presidential contest that has, necessarily, taken center stage—and that will not be settled until Trump and his supporters stand back. But I will be keeping just as close an eye on the Senate races that will define the scope and character of a Biden or Trump presidency. . . Of course, I’ll watch tonight to see if, in the upset of upsets, Democrat Amy McGrath might actually convince a sufficient number of Kentuckians to toss McConnell out of the Senate. But that’s not the only way that McConnell could be derailed this year.

Ending Trumpism is vital for the country’s future. But so is ending McConnellism.
