52. We are talking about McConnell specifically

No need to dramatically declare a dictatorship.

McConnell has, in both words and deeds, for over a decade, done everything in their power hurt and humiliate Democrats.
He, metaphorically, spit in Obama's face on his way out the door by denying to even hold a vote on Obama's USSC nominee. For good measure spent years refusing to hold votes on hundreds of federal judgeships.

A guy that has literally sat on hundreds of pieces of legislation and not even allowed to come to a debate.

This is the guy Biden thanks he can get cooperation from?

I will say it: hell no.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
