I’ve never advocated FOR a candidate. McConnell is a threat to our democracy, and I support those that oppose him.
I just gave this lady a donation, I hope she has an epic night. Pass it on.
For the record - I am in no way affiliated with the campaign, and I do not live in Kentucky. Mitch McConnell is a national cancer, and a national problem.

OP, THANK YOU, I live in Lexington, KY and am a HUUUGE advocate for McGrath. Mitch has GOT TO GO we need some change and hopefully she will

Agreed. Trump is an incompetent POS who doesn't "win," he just benefits from the DNC fucking up. McConnel is DANGEROUS. He needs to go.

Realistically, a better play is to donate to someone that actually has a chance of unseating a republican so Turtle can't be the majority 1/

leader anymore. I don't see McGrath having a chance, no matter how many times "shit on McConnell's grave" is on my bucket list.
AngeloSchilling
why not both/all?

"Give money to all of them" would be a viable solution if we had infinite time and money, but we don't.
watermelonlover8
You have a weird way to support someone. You wrote his name 3 times but not even once for her. I’m from Canada & I have no idea who she is..
itsthevoiceman
I live in CA. It's likely we'll have a democratic majority no matter what. But I still donated to her campaign.
Dionysus187
Just gave $50

This post is how I learned RBG had passed. I want to cry. Please help us. It's going to get worse.

Just went on and donated $25, I hope to God she wins as much as Biden
macktown
I just donated 20 bucks to this lady. feels good. Any one against the turtle has got an easy 20 from me. I don't even live in KY
leonth3duke
I mean, yes donate to her. But there are MUCH closer seats up for grab, so make sure to donate to those as well.

HopelessNecr0mantic
To be honest, there are better races to put your money behind, to check his power. SC, NC, Iowa, and then the obvious ones like Maine, AZ,CO
lemmesmashplease
0% 1) She is 12 point behind and 2) she is running as pro Trump saying Mitch hasn't done enough to advance Trump agenda.

I just gave $50. Sometimes you need to do more than just vote.

I despise the turtle, but there many closer senate elections where the Dem can actually win. The turtle will win this one decisively. 1/2
chunkums
Bullock, Harrison, Gross, Cunningham, Gideon, and Hickenlooper all need help. They're also all within striking distance of flipping seats.
Blakeatcool
Just donated $5, registered in TN!
DukePaulAtreides
As much as I hate McConnell he's got a big lead on McGrath! Donate to better positioned Dem challengers--Maine, NC, SC, AZ, even MT or AK!!
teamshitshow
Or all of ‘em. Full court press.
faultysage
But Susan Collins assured me that Trump learned his lesson.
Comet260
Fuck that old bat.
darkknight447
Hopefully she’ll learn her lesson after getting voted out
KiwiThiCorgi
As a Kentuckian, I thank you. Unfortunately, she's "too liberal" for the ignorant masses. I'm going to do my part, I hope she can win.
invaderjay87
Sounds like your education system needs more attention. Don’t just vote the old farts out, vote to educate the kids so this doesn’t happen.
KiwiThiCorgi
I wish. However, in Ky, basketball, horses, and bourbon will always come before skoolin'. Or rather, "learnin'".
Comet260
KY is something like 48th in education.
invaderjay87
Well, that explains it

cornzilla
I live in tx so everyone down here "isn't glad she is dead, but is glad she is gone".... times like these I wish I could vote here.
peepooz
Not everyone! Also in TX, I don’t know anyone who feels this is a good thing for the US. Even my sis (Trumper) feels it “could mean trouble1
peepooz
For women’s rights in the future.” It could be the tipping point to get her to vote against Trump on the bright side.
DrRad
I’ve donated to her. But she is still at least 3 points behind the turtle.
Katz00
I live in KY and his attack ads on her are soooooooo annoying.
mummybangles
Her ads are equally annoying. Maybe if we put up a viable candidate against him that didn’t have the personality of a potato
Katz00
She had potential. The first mistake she made as a candidate for me is using the attack ads back. She should have stuck with her wants.

Hezaethox
Americans need to bus to Kentucky cities, rural included, and hold patriotic rallies for her
Semiflaccid
I think last I saw shes 12 points back. Tough to win as a dem in Kentucky, even more difficult that shes a woman
52pickup
Hillary was winning according to the polls in 2016. We won’t know until it’s over, so roll up your sleeves and get to work.
Semiflaccid
After 2016, no one should be complacent.
52pickup
Or trust the polling numbers. People show up in the weirdest ways these days. Don’t let anything get in the way of doing the hard work.
Semiflaccid
I dont trust the polling numbers. 2016 case in point
qazxswedcvfrtgbnhyujmkiol
Yeah, I donated as well... but it's ot as close as people want to believe. She has no realistic shot. It's ridiculous.
HopelessNecr0mantic
I wish this wasn't true, but it is. Donate to jaimie Harrison instead, let's get ole vapors gone. Much more achievable win in s carolina.
superdupertrooper
She's way behind. Kentucky is a very conservative state. Poor schools, low income, bad economy. Go figure
chunkums
There are many closer races in this cycle where the Dem can actually win. Throwing $$ at McGrath seems like a waste tbh.
HopelessNecr0mantic
Exactly this.
Comet260
If we take back the Senate, Mitch hopefully won't be as big of a problem.
Comet260
I hate America. WTF do her bits have to do with the fucking job she's running for?!

That's not only an America problem. Sexism is alive and well all over the world.

RootyTootyDrunkenShooty
Mitch McConnell is a textbook example of why we need term limits. 30+ years of supporting special interests, and not his constituents.
onikame
Ironically enough, Trump has term limits on his 2nd term agenda.
IngloriousGasbody
Amen. Fuck that guy.
freshthrowaway1138
His constituents actually support him. The voters are shitty people.
Malsbury
So the next guy can have the same policies? He needs to be voted out so the GOP knows people don't want their policies. Ter
nopenopenopenothanks
Over term limits I wish their was a bipartisan way to report on whether an elected was voting in their own interest over their constituents
UnstableEnder
If it can be demonstrated you are not representing your constituents, you should go directly to jail. No taxation without representation.
ilsalta
And yet most of the state still supports him. The problem isn’t him.
genericname2107
Biden, 47 years of unkept promises and one of the worst senate records in history. I agree, term limits would apply here. Pelosi too.
crushingbore
I agree, but his constituents are very, very stupid. That's a bigger problem that needs solved.
chillstep61
We vote them into there seat if you don't like them vote for whoever is competing against them next voting cycle
rainehdaze
Term limits would just put the world's McConnell's in an unelected position instead "helping" the new legislators
DysgraphicProgrammer
Term limits will also remove bernie. We need anti-gerrymandering.
VoidofStatic
Bitch Mitch, fine example of a patriotic traitor.
FosterMomForKittens
He is married to Elaine Chao who is the Secretary of Transportation. She diverts a ton of money to Kentucky so they are happy with Mitch.

Joe Biden has 40+ years.
FloatingOnACloudOfTitties
So what? He looks like Jesus compared with McConnell and his administration won't be a clusterfuck...
NastyNashty
While I also agree, his constituents could have voted him out at least 5 times. Some of this is our fault.
FloatingOnACloudOfTitties
Yes, but we're all dealing with it. Term limits would solve this...
Deadmanwalkn
There's a lot of great, reasonable people in KY... unfortunately, there's also a LOT of Methy areas to the south/east
PaintedSlate
The issue is the corruption, which term limits would exacerbate. And there'd be even less individual accountability. We barely have any now.
Deadmanwalkn
I prefer consecutive term limits. I.e. can do 2 in a row before you have to skip one. I feel that's a strong compromise
nsimkhovich
Could take a page from Lenin's democracy (aka council democracy): All representatives are subject to a recall vote at any time.
heywoodjabme
An educated and informed electorate can solve the problem far quicker than bringing in term limit laws.
PaintedSlate
Yeah, the term limit laws would raise the bar for the electorate to clear. And that's already high due to funded and active disinformation.

While we’re here (and I agree). Should there be ‘lifetime appointments’ for Judges?
kingkongkeom
No
SirSmurfalot
Judges where never supported to be political in the first place. The corruption starts with the political branches.
kingkongkeom
No they shouldnt, and they should have to retire when 65 years old. Just like there shouldn't be a president older than that.
IRememberMyFirstBeer
When it was written, life expectancy was thirty years less. so... Maybe a rethink is in order.
duhleted
Absolutely not. We strongly need to reconsider how our entire society works.
wearethewalkingd3ad
Somewhere along the way we lost the idea that these positions are a civic duty.
RootyTootyDrunkenShooty
No, there shouldn’t be.
BlueFalc0n
Per Artilce Three it is not lifetime. It is during periods of good behavior and can be impeached. It just involves work.
Onlyhereforthelaughs
Opinions change over time, so should judges.
pushingplastictogether
Yes and no, tbh id prefer them to have no relationship with any political affiliations in any form & no elections for judges.
Nemacol
The idea makes sense in a world without infinite dark money. If that can be fixed then I welcome lifetime appointment for scotus
2graves
Judges aren't supposed to be political at all
mrtweeter04
Idk I think judges being life time is ok... since judges are not spose to be partisan and the law is the law? (In a perfect world)
FullHeart
They shouldn't, but they should implement regulations to prevent judges from "campaigning" if they introduce term limits
LTJJD
Just make it a single 10 year term staggered with one justice changed every other year. Most senior judge is Chief Justice.
dyxj
What mechanism would you purpose to reduce partisanship in judges, then? A recent gay rights decision was 6-3, with Roberts and Gorsuch 1/
dyxj
voting to side with the arguments from the LGBTQ side. That never could happen if they had to worry about politics.
TielKiri
Make it so they can only ever be elected once for ten years and then be removed forever? Can’t worry about a re-election, then
dyxj
That _could_ work, but then the judges would be working closely with party to get their successor elected, so they still wouldn't be able 1/
MoonPieTown
Not sure it would work but I think each newly elected president should be allowed to replace a judge of their choice each election. It's a
MoonPieTown
avenue to let the population intervene if the supreme court gets too stacked one way.
