When I look at the video of a clearly struggling Mitch McConnell, I think about how scary and difficult that must be, and how hard McConnell has worked throughout his life to ensure that the end of people's lives are as difficult and scary a struggle as they can possibly be made.

@JuliusGoat I have, in fact, had experiences similar to McConnell.

Be better.

@UncivilServant @JuliusGoat

Im sorry to hear that, but maybe if mitch had "been better" he would garner more sympathy.

Him having medical issues doesnt erase the damage he has done.

@chrisashtear @JuliusGoat I know this is an alien concept to a majority of people, but some of us believe that medical care is a human right and that people with disabilities are still human and have the ability to contribute as much to society as everyone else.

If you choose to make neurological disease political, you probably belong in the Republican Party.

@UncivilServant @JuliusGoat unfortunately mitch disagrees with you about medical care being a human right.

And all the contributions to society mitch has made have been negative.

@chrisashtear @JuliusGoat May you be so judged in your hour of need

@UncivilServant @JuliusGoat Look man i dont think its unreasonable to lose empathy for a person based on the evil theyve done. Would you really be weeping for a murderer?

I may be overall kind of an asshole, but I also didnt indirectly kill a bunch of people by getting roe v wade overturned.

@chrisashtear @JuliusGoat Now here's a funny thing, I haven't even mentioned anything about McConnell's politics. I feel like we can maybe keep these things separate.

Otherwise you're just saying that you only think I deserve to work for the government because of my center-left views, so you're willing to make an exception for me as one of the "good ones".

@UncivilServant @chrisashtear @JuliusGoat Fucking centrists always think you can play nice with monsters
@TheMagicLemur @UncivilServant @JuliusGoat ok maybe you should dial it back a little bit there. I think hes mostly upset cus he has the same or a similar condition.
