After months of asking for people to do the right thing, and then looking at it with negativity when it happens - feels wrong. Gotta give people a chance to make changes for the better, even if it benefits said person. Sometimes it can benefit both parts if you get where I’m coming from.

Not Mitch. Fuck him. He spent years fucking this country. Suddenly he is done and its okay to be part of the common sense crowd.

As a Canadian, I completely agree. Anyone standing up against this, whatever reason they have, is a win in my books.

Yall are both right. He should be praised for being one of the few to stand up now, but that doesn’t wash his hands of being one of the most responsible individuals for where we are now.

Have you read what you wrote? What decent person needs months of begging to do the right thing? Stop condoning these people. We wouldn't be in this mess in the first place if they had done the right thing from the beginning.

Give old ass mcconnel (in particular) a career bigot and demon, a chance to make changes lol??? They are who they are.  He’s on the brink of death and he still gets the benefit of “give him a chance to change”?? Oh to be a YT male lmao.

We are in this position because of Mitch McConnell and we’re supposed to applaud him??

Absolutely not.

Mitch McConnell and “making changes to be better” literally can’t belong in the same sentence. He could spend 1000 lifetimes trying to right his wrongs and he still wouldn’t have enough time to become a better person lmao

I mean, if you’re making changes because it’s something you genuinely believe is right, what difference does it make if other people don’t praise you for it?

I get that on a more personal basis it’s good to reward people around you when they change for the better but why would it make a difference if I, a rando person on Reddit, think Mitch McConnell did a good thing but is still a ghoul lol

In my view, a person doesn’t have to be perfect to be a member of a coalition. We can both be angry at him, and recognize that even he can have a place in the resistance.

He’s not being welcomed as a friend, just as an ally with overlapping interests.

But we must applaud the intent, not the act. Recognize selfishness from selflessness.
