Your two party policy sucks man...
MrNardtastic
Fun fact most counties in ky have more registered voters than they do ppl of voting age. He cheats.
Youreamemeharry
As a fellow red stater(Texas) lets not throw the whole state under the bus. Much love for those still voting blue in red states.

They fucking WHAT
PieAndPunch
Dear Kentucky, everyone fuckin hates you right now
Plantz
Not all of us voted for the turd.
HaveYouEverEverFletLikeThis
Wait what's going on
Tenderbits
Twas DNC who let us down. They picked their person to finance. They don't understand us and think we are too stupid and inbred to try.
Tenderbits
KY used to be democratic house and senate for decades.
ahhhhtomzilla
Let’s all move to Kentucky and elect somebody who cares about people for a bit then move away and see what happens
TheRezNinja
I think the might have no choice considering all this obvious and abundant GOP voter fraud
GrumblyArcher
Nobody hates McConnell more than people in Kentucky, so maybe fuck off for blaming all of us?
GrumblyArcher
We had a serious shot with Charles Booker and then the DNC threw in with the blandest moderate they could find instead. Blame them.
Raxiel
All the other Republican Senators chose him as leader, he's just the hatchet man so they don't have to go on record as scumbags
JarJarBinksKisser
Kentucky sucks ass. Their one claim to fame is the KFC guy and he isnt even from Kentucky. Hes from Indiana.
Bigmarko137
You left out bourbon, Muhammad Ali, Birthplace of Abe Lincoln, baseball bats, and the derby. Not the most prolific State but not that bad.
spoon79
Guys I voted for Amy McGrath hoping for ANY kind of change. It wasn’t even close. As a born and raised Kentuckian I don’t get it either. SMH
ButtmoTerror
I mean, do we even need Kentucky?
Lightshadow122
Some ppl need their fried chicken
MrJwinkyface
Nope, let’s have Puerto Rico replace them
LawmanLata
If we're gonna be like that. Fuck you AL, AR, ME, MA, MN, NC, OK, TN, TX, and VA. You're scum.
manulofdoom
Non-murican here: is this a real election, or that american "election", where you lose popular vote but win anyway?
m4dm4n
Couldn't we just... get rid of Kentucky? Like sell it to another country or trade it back to the Native Americans whatever we paid for it?
m4dm4n
As-is, no backsies (again).
getguds
remember the republican senate members could overthrow and elect someone else to be head instead of mitch. they all approve what he's doing.
CatatonicCowMoo
Other states also voted in republican senators... enough that this fuck continues to have the power he does. Yeah we re-elected him, and /
CatatonicCowMoo
It's incredibly stupid and I hate it, but if republicans didn't hold the majority...
Cyberpope67
the GOP made him Senate Leader with all the absolute despotic power that goes with it. . . as long as he plays ball, he lives & profits. . .
CraftyCyborg
I’m a Kentuckian. We’re fucking screwed, he’ll be in office until he dies. He’ll never retire, he’s got it made. And people around here will
CraftyCyborg
refuse to EVER vote dem. I was told by a friend, 97 yo WWII vet, that he despises MM but would rather die than vote for a non-rep. Aarrgghhh
IncorrectCommentMeme
Yes, let us blame some of the least educated people in the country for believing lies cleverly designed to confuse them.
Diabolic7e8
I'm sorry. Progressives advocate for the poor and uneducated which means they get to call them all sorts of pejorative terms.
Whelpthisisawkward2
It's not a pejorative term, Kentucky is literally ranked 45th in education in the country. The state gov't has been failing them for decades
IncorrectCommentMeme
Intentionally failing them, and intentionally filling their minds with lies they can use to win elections. It is proper evil.

TheGrubermeister
My partner did phone and text banking on behalf of McGrath and, believe me, Kentucky is SUPER happy with Mitch. They prefer him to ANY Dem.
TheGrassyKnoll17
Let's be honest here, McGrath was a terrible candidate. Booker would've at least had a chance, but Dem PACs put tons of money behind McGrath
sittnduk
McGraths platform was based on being a vet and a mom. I know plenty of vets/parents I would not vote for. I’m tired of voting on two evils.
CraftyCyborg
Honestly, the whole vet/mom thing, versus actually talking politics, was why I had real hope that she might be a contender. Sad but true.
fatfish89
What about booker seemed like the dems I know liked him more and he was better equipped to challenge McConnell
ChainmailleAddict
Would've been better if they'd chosen a bipartisan conservative, super-white super-male Dem
Whelpthisisawkward2
Unfortunately, it might be that any candidate with D next to their name would fail. It's party over country with these people.
SumptuousMeat
Would have been better off with a half eaten discarded ham sandwich.
Cyberpope67
or a dead pigeon. . .
CraftyCyborg
Actually I know many repubs who HATE MM with a passion. But they would rather die than vote anything but republican. (Am Kentuckian)
iiGEMINIii
Or refuse to vote but are okay with Mitch. I was in WV getting calls non stop for mitch...meanwhile actual KY residents weren't.
TheRockDude
That's like saying you hate Hitler but refuse to vote for anyone who isn't a Nazi
CraftyCyborg
Yup. The worst was hearing it from a guy in his late 90s who spent 5 years in the European theatre during WWII. He helped free a camp or two
Mindshard
They didn't re-elect him once, they've been re-electing him for 35 YEARS. Near the bottom in all quality of life metrics, too stupid to see.

If you ask someone in Kentucky they’ll tell you it’s literally one thing.... abortion.

His state needs investigated at a federal level for its gerrymandering, voter suppression, and potential outright fraud.
ProfessorAssBlast2020
Why is kentucky such a shitty state
astronomygeek7
Imma say systemic gerrymandering and leaving the state poorly educated and, well, poor has put things in his favor.
Carelesslexx
It's a mix of inbreeding, exceptional stupidity, and decades of "RADICAL LEFT IS COMING TO KILL YOU" propaganda.

Mindshard
Have you ever been to Kentucky?

No I've never been to America and honestly never want to
bodhisattvas
He’s gerrymandering
Tyanet
Gerrymandering doesn’t work for statewide elections like senators or governors. Not saying they can’t still be disenfranchising voters tho
bodhisattvas
Good point, one or another they’re not fundamentally using popular vote methods
MaxZimuss
Yeah, F those jerks that vote for the person they want! They should have to vote for who imgurians want!
MattHolmberg
10 out of the poorest 25 counties in the United States of America are located in Kentucky. Read the post again, moron.

You’re not too bright are you? My comment was on point. Yours makes no sense.

It’s not ignorant cunts voting him in, I wouldn’t say they vote, it’s the cunts who stand to make money of him being on power

Why do they vote him? Real talk, what are they voting for.

Not all of us voted for him it was the elders who did. They are too stuck in their old ways to accept change. So not everyone is stupid.
TrueSandwich
If I remember correctly they are actually investigating that there may have been actual election fraud in kentucky for Mcconnell
MaxZimuss
Lol. No.
toomuchkentucky
In the defense of the cities, we typically vote Democrat, but we're out voted by the rest of the state
kurastwolf
To be fair Kentucky's "big democrat cities" aren't big enough to overcome their only-slightly-smaller rural towns.
toomuchkentucky
True, but one thing I stand by is that if I don't like either candidate, I know that 15% of the popular vote means that a third party would-
toomuchkentucky
Get funding and representation in the debates. A man can dream
MarleafChef
No offense, but I will never again support your chicken
HiddenSanity
For awhile there, KFC was legally renamed 'KFC' instead of "Kentucky Fried Chicken" as the state attempted to collect royalties on the name.
toomuchkentucky
I don't either... I try not to eat fast food in general
Mindshard
It won't go anywhere, it's the same as when the police investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing.
NotTheChad
This just blew my fucking mind. 35 years this asshole has had a job, and people thought he was doing well!?
The5lacker
It's not about uplifting themselves, it's about suppressing everyone who's not themselves.
MrMineHeads
You could put a potato chip in the race and as long as it has got an R in front, it has a decent chance of winning.
carlrove46
Well it’s not like education is a priority in KY. They probably don’t know either.
strapontin
He IS doing well!! For himself. #1 Republican in the senate!! Glory to Kentucky.
jamandtoast
One of the richest senators from one of the poorest states. A true sign of doing well for himself.
RoyDMercer
Kentucky, I love your bourbon, but you really let us down.
Thewinterisstillhere
Maybe it was because of too much dry counties
LordOfTheRingDings
*Slams down whiskey bottle* *burp* *sigh*Trust me, it ain't any fucking easier for those of us trying to get rid of the beaky mouthed fuck.
PieMasterOfTheRealm
"let you down" is understating it. They totally fucked millions of families and many businesses by electing an obviously corrupt politician
raptorjesuswentextinct4ursinz
Stop buying Kentucky bourbon, plenty of other good whiskey made in other places
Wolfwind
Some of us tried to vote him out. I saw a surprising amount of McGrath signs in yards. Unfortunately we just weren't enough D:

The bourbon is for consoling us after that depressing election result

KFC is for people who don’t know about actual good fried chicken
Comet260
Popeye's has FAR better chicken.
DeadeicPrints
Having had both i dont agree. Id say they're about equal for different reasons. But I lean more toward KFC.
Sunil227
Don't think Popeye's is well known in the UK, but either way, globally Kentucky fried chicken is pretty famous

djzapz
For every person who can be swayed, 100 will hold their ground, ignoring all evidence. Almost every time I tried to establish a dialogue
djzapz
with someone and tried to be diplomatic (not easy), it turned out to be a fool's errand. So this is very hard. Often impossible. Frustrating
TheZoid
I'm not saying that this is the only thing you do but ignorance is best resolved via knowledge & discourse. Radio in isolated areas have 1/2
TheZoid
Caused a fair bit of consternation. There needs to be some kind of middle of the road radio channel to listen to in the middle of nowhere.
SecondAccountforDoingOtherShit
Not worth it in most cases. It will be easier to fight gerrymandering abolish EC to make pop vote win. Outvote them and improve life.
Thetiredmechanic
Hence: war. If people could simply just use discourse to resolve differences, they would...
