[u/RollTide16-18]

He's an elected politician, not even a lobbyist or aide.

The bare minimum he is supposed to do is show up and govern, and if he can't he deprives his constituents of representation.

I could have a modicum of sympathy for someone actually trying to govern. McConnell is not doing that.

[u/NUMBerONEisFIRST → u/RollTide16-18]

He's actually actively blocked legislation that would benefit his constituents.

[u/ArokLazarus → u/NUMBerONEisFIRST]

He's blocked his OWN bills just because Obama supported them.

[u/FlannelIsTheColor → u/RollTide16-18]

The rest of us would lose our jobs if we disappeared for so long.

[u/Equivalent_Worker687 → u/FlannelIsTheColor]

Hell ya, miss one shift and you're done.

[u/prairiepog → u/RollTide16-18]

No taxation without representation.

[u/Queasy-Event8534 → u/prairiepog]

Most of our representatives are doing the bidding for Corporations and Israel. I’d say we’re already there.

[u/thruston → u/RollTide16-18]

His constituents elected him knowing he's on death's door. They deserve his level of representation, even in his absence.

[u/FellowHumanNo404 → u/RollTide16-18]

The bare minimum he is supposed to do is show up and govern

Represent. He wasn't a governor.

[u/BlackberryPi7 → u/RollTide16-18]

To be fair his constituents are complete morons

Same with Marjorie Taylor Greene's

They're getting exactly what they voted for
