Mitch McConnell Poses a Threat to Democracy

So this is whats going on in the senate. The Senate majority leader has the ability to prevent any measure from being heard on the senate floor. The Republican's chose Mitch McConnell for this because Kentucky would literally elect Satan over a Democrat (some think they may have done this). This means Senate Republican's can pretend to support bills that are popular to the people but unpopular to wealthy Republicans, only to have McConnell refuse to hear them. McConnell gets the blame but keeps his seat because its fucking Kentucky. Then the rest of the Senate show their real colors by re-electing him to Senate leader. It would only take 4 of them to take this position away from him.
