[@d4n4nable]

@@neutronstarpilot4393 Your biased viewpoint on whom a particular vote favors is nothing but your opinion. Public education is terrible, and way over-funded. The US spends more per pupil than almost any other country, and yet results suck. In fact, there's no correlation to results. The US tripled per student spending over the last decades, yet test results didn't change. The only people gaining are corrupt unions and administrators. There's an obvious diminishing marginal return to spending. "The wealthy" are the only real class of people who pay significant taxes. Every useful tax cut will benefit them most. To quote the tax foundation: "In 2016, the top 50 percent of all taxpayers paid 97 percent of all individual income taxes, while the bottom 50 percent paid the remaining 3 percent. The top 1 percent paid a greater share of individual income taxes (37.3 percent) than the bottom 90 percent combined (30.5 percent)." I know you convinced yourself that your hard-left progressive viewpoint is somehow objectively correct, but it's not. There are more ways to view the world, and different values people have. What I value most is freedom, not maximizing my loot from rich people. I find it unconscionable to extract wealth from others who have more through coercive means, just because I command guns. McConnell is not a champion for liberty, by any means. But he's by far better than any Democrat I can think of.

AMAZING. GREAT INTERVIEW

[@coffeecomics3583]

Mitch McConnell looks like the Emperor from Star Wars, so I'm not surprised at all just how truly evil he is. Twisted & evil.

[@HumanoidCableDreads]

He looks literally nothing like Palpatine. The emperor has a strong jaw and a wrinkled sloped brow. Have you even seen Star Wars?

[@igotbluesdevils]

Palpatine was a turtle?!

[@fadhlallahbaklouti9111]

he is the senate!!

[@legolas0029]

Wow thank you for explaining this to me Lawrence, fantastic.

Mitch "Palpatine" McConnell

I AM THE SENATE!

[@kevinjenkins6986]

When dollars have much more influence that constituents, the system is inherently no longer democratic

[@onepervideo8962]

How perfect this came into my recommendations after this week...

[@kevinmai842]

How do you fix it? Limit their terms

[@rafa328]

That's not enough. These people that are supposed to be serving the people shouldn't be invested in private companies who benefit off legislation change / submission

[@robertbelle8457]

More of this please

[@braydopaintrain4346]

pass a law to force elections to be tax payer funded. cut the defense budget to pay for them.

[@Kaixero]

Ah, Mitch McConnell, the guy my state has elected time and again without fail. Every day my faith in democratic systems deteriorates worse and worse.

[@rblfrmthewstdwn]

I empathize completely....but we are turning things around this year. I've never been so proud to be a Kentuckian as this year.

[@jessie7339jessie]

Rather have him than any dem these days. Corrupt on both sides, but Mitch is better for the state. Dems ruin everything with high taxes overbearing regulations that cripple some businesses. Not to mention they care more about illegals than Americans, offering unlimited free healthcare to any illegal. China also owns a good chunk of politicians Biden one of the worst

[@bigal7943]

There is no such thing as "alt right" this would be akin to calling democratic socialism "alt left". Anything alternative to neo conservativism is classified as alt right because the neo cons want to keep power.

[@kevinp665]

People can’t grasp the idea that someone can be rationally thinking and agree and disagree with policies on both sides. There are actually many of those aprox 35% of this country who are moderate and do not pledge an allegiance to a single party but they’re quiet and not loud like the peanut gallery on either sides. The sheeps that agree 100% with their party and chastises anyone that speaks against their own corrupted party.

Politicians don't want campaign finance reform. A good start to correcting the problem is to limit the terms of elected officials.

Yeah, he’s a bit of a fool. The local voters keep re-electing their incumbents. He needs to talk to the voters, not the politicians.

[@BroNumsi]

I didn't know this, and I've said for years that McConnell is the most dangerous man in America, because of everything else he's done. My reaction hearing this was "of course he did". He's smart and brazenly ruthless.

[@zuffin1864]

I've drove by his house and his poor neighbours have to deal with protesting, even through the night in a residential area. They ended up being the only people with a Mitch McConnell sign up in the neighborhood, but it only makes sense when people scream practically at your house all the time. We should not act like fools in the process of "wanting change" is my point. You'll push people away from a cause they would otherwise agree with.

[@BroNumsi]

@@zuffin1864 Agree, it won't change anything to stand outside his house, bothering his neighbors. He needs to be called out publicly, to be exposed and voted out of office. He himself doesn't care about being called out, but revels in the controversy. But open people's eyes and they might remove him.

[@haydenadams9016]

It's funny how a subject in discussion, always returns to a bipartisan argument when it's not bipartisan at all. It proves the bickering is a hobby for some. Money is the root of all evil. Always has been - always will be. Both sides worship it. D.C. used to be a town of simple civil servants. Now one can buy a Bentley, Rolls Royce or whatever lobbyists money procures these days. Bad corporate culture and dishonest politics go hand in hand. Take the money out of it. All that remains is...either you are a socialist or your not.

[@keirfarnum6811]

Maybe you should do some research then. Democrats have been trying to reform campaign finance laws for decades. That’s not to say that Democrats haven’t availed themselves of the corrupt system and there aren’t establishment Democrats who wholeheartedly have embraced corporate funding (Biden and MBNA is a good example), but the Democrats have on the whole attempted reforms. Democrats opposed Citizens United for example. The problem is that the Democrats have had to accept corporate donations to compete; the establishment Democrats more so than most (especially after the Republicans crushed the unions which comprised the financial support base for Democrats). This is what was so revolutionary about someone like Bernie; his campaign was entirely funded by small dollar contributions from individuals. While one could never say the Democrats are completely free of corporate corruption, they don’t embrace it wholeheartedly like the Republicans do; and there are plenty of Democrats that would love to enact reforms.

[@ninjabum817]

Its funny to hear JRE say all this because once Ben Shapiro is on here saying the opposite JRE will then whole heatedly agree with him. Does he actually think for himself?
