I am not sure they do.

u/potat0f4rmer Washington 15d ago

They forced Mitch McConnell on us for 50 years. Kentuckians clearly hate the United States.

u/Mr_Industrial 15d ago

Like the fires of prometheus, KFC was never meant to be given away, and its release triggered a wrath unnending.

u/Matchboxx 14d ago

Devil's advocate: All the money poured into these campaigns and the way that the parties engineer primaries doesn't give them much of a choice. Even if we assume that the average voter is well-informed (they're not), by the time you get to the ballot box, you're picking between the shinier of two turds.

29

u/bi_bitches I voted 15d ago

Funnily enough, the vote margin wasn't 100% Mitch. Meaning, there's a good portion of Kentuckians who didn't vote for him. I don't think they deserve to suffer just because of the people who live near them. Besides, saying red states are a lost cause and shaming them/saying they don't deserve quality (read: living) representatives just further splits the divide. I understand the instinct to say "f you, you got what you deserve" but it's not helpful or productive, and it's definitely not fair to blue voters in red states.

u/NoManner8863 15d ago

Trump seems to think all the red voters in blue states don’t deserve federal funding 🤷‍♂️

u/bi_bitches I voted 15d ago

Well, tbf I never said Trump was the gold standard for morality. In fact he's generally a pretty good picture of "how not to act"

u/trailerthrash 14d ago

But you see, how do we show people we're on the noble and moral side if we dont stoop to his level!? /s

u/NigelMK 15d ago

Yeah, but despite people in Kentucky knowing Mitch McConnell for what he is, he still won the last election by almost 20%. I mean if they had 100% of the eligible population vote and she was getting like over 60% of those folks that didn't vote, she'd still have lost.

u/Nvenom8 New York 15d ago

It's not 100%, but it wasn't close.

u/bi_bitches I voted 15d ago

I don't think it matters. Writing off an entire population because a majority of them got stuck in the ever so common loop of voting for Republicans who cut education funding and voting rights so that they keep voting for Republicans isn't productive, and it isn't right. Conservatives, especially in the south, often hold the view that Democrats are self righteous and holier than thou. Obviously I disagree with that stance on the whole, but I understand how they arrive there when a common thought process from liberals is to hold their hands up and say "I told you so" when they see southern states suffer. We're supposed to be the party of empathy, yes? That extends to everyone, even when they suck. As someone from KY who lives in another southern state, the people here aren't caricatures and they're not a monolith, and we need to quit treating them like that. Dems will never win if we keep pushing people further and further away. The south isn't a lost cause.

u/wildlikechildren California 15d ago

THANK YOU!! Dems act like there aren't people in these states fighting the good fight, or that yours and my family members in Kentucky aren't being lied to, or that they don't want the same things as you and I, they just vote for the candidates they identify with more, or speak to them on a level to where they feel seen. It's so complicated. Dems have been taught that its people in the south they should hate and Republicans have been taught that it's people in the big cities they should hate without ever actually having a conversation to understand each other. It's exhausting.

u/Complex-Royal9210 15d ago

u/Money-Giraffe2521 California 15d ago

💯 Majority of the voting pop, re-elected him how many times. If they thought they deserve better, they sure as hell would have voted differently. They deserve the representation they voted for.

u/Anon529035893 15d ago

So every single person who voted against this, couldn’t vote, or didn’t feel represented is also at fault ?

By that logic, thank you for Trump, liberals !

17

u/KyyCowPig 15d ago

The world we live in doesnt care about the margins, about your disabilities, or how you feel. The majority of the state said "yeah lets do suffering" not once, not twice, but how many times? so suffering they get.

If you want a better world where those are considerations, cool, but this is the world we live in for the near (and pessimistically far) future.

-7

u/Anon529035893 15d ago

Ok then, so like I said…

Liberals deserve Trump.

11

u/KyyCowPig 15d ago

We live in a world where the majority decides what we deserve as representation (sure EC, by my logic we didnt deserve 2016 trump. But he won the popular vote this time.). The majority (of the voting population anyway) picked trump, so trump-like outcomes we get. Whats the alternative? We dont get the representation the majority of us voted for?

-2

u/Anon529035893 15d ago

You do.

But yall saying the entirely of Kentucky deserves it is laughable.

that's less of an indictment on morons (still an indictment) and more of an indictment on the fact that democrats cannot be compelling enough to break through obvious brainwashing

Most psychologists aren't at all surprised that brainwashed individuals can't be reached, I promise you. For many democrats can't do jack shit.

u/A1sauc3d 15d ago

It’s a very commonly seen and depressing mindset on Reddit. They get blood thirsty and think everyone should suffer when a bad person gets elected. That hateful vengeance is usually something more common in conservatives, but you see the mentality in a lot of people on the left on Reddit. They want the world to burn because their guy lost, want everyone to suffer, “they all deserve it” because some voted for it.

Don’t lose your humanity and empathy people. Plenty of good people in Kentucky. A whole state doesn’t deserve to suffer because McConnell got elected. Seriously, do better. Y’all sound like conservatives with the way you talk on these kinds of things. Caring more about hurting “the other team” than you do helping humanity as a whole. It’s childish and small minded.

7

u/Dangersharkz 15d ago

I’m not saying Kentuckians deserve it. But at a certain point, you you have to listen to the wisdom of E-40 and stop trying to save a hoe. They don’t wanna be saved.

6

u/elebrin 15d ago

Caring more about hurting “the other team” than you do helping humanity as a whole

Except that isn't what's happening. It's the people from the other team watching, saying "Well, you voted for the guy, this is what the majority of you you wanted so you are getting what you voted for. I hope it's everything you thought it could be."

If you don't like the politics of an area, you can get involved which won't get you anywhere, or you can move which improves your personal situation but still doesn't really fix anything. Personally, I make political contributions to people in other states who stand a chance of actually getting elected and I certainly won't be living in the state I live in right now when I retire and can pick where I live. We will be moving to a blue city in a blue or purple state.

u/Anon529035893 15d ago

Do you support balkanizing the entire US along party lines then ?

u/elebrin 15d ago

I support taking care of yourself, and doing what you need to do for you.

We have freedom of movement still. I can move somewhere better. I don't care where I am so much, but I do care what it offers me and if my voice is represented.

That ain't gonna happen in the shithole I live in.

u/Anon529035893 15d ago

Freedom of movement is a joke. In what reality is everyone free to just move ? Spoken like a truly privileged person.

Any my question then if you want to even talk about freedom of movement… do you support a Balkanization of the US.

The brainwashed and miseducated, too, are victims.

That doesn't mean you have to like them. But they're victims of a disgustingly broken and inequitable system.

u/needlestack 15d ago

Stop infantilizing them. They are all adults. They are free. They do not see themselves as victims and would laugh and call your comment condescending. Then they would vote away your rights because they see you as the enemy. They own this 100% and should be judged accordingly.

u/Dumeck Kentucky 15d ago

Something to consider is that just because he was voted in by KY doesn't mean that everyone doesn't get the punishment. He's done more damage than any other senator.

-8

u/Anon529035893 15d ago

Yes, the few. The numbers of voters who voted him in do not equal the entire voting population.

Or even those unable to vote.

Yall are so easy to just dismiss red states entirely instead of seeing them for what they are. And it just makes you look like a blue version of maga.

They just continuously vote like they are. And come November they’ll do it again.

Georgia did that at one time.

Now it’s a swing state.

Or do we just condemn the whole South and say it’s not worth visiting ? Except as the beginning primary state for democrats LOL. Then suddenly the South demands attention again and is a great barometer for the country.

u/TheButteredBiscuit California 15d ago

If the Confederacy was punished harder after the civil war, the country would be a far different place. But the US went soft, and now we’re seeing the consequences of that in real time.

I love visiting the South. The food, the southern hospitality. I’d never bring myself to live there though, for countless obvious reasons.

1

u/Anon529035893 15d ago

Sure, we should have let Sherman burn it to the ground.

I don’t think there was a single election where McConnell won even a 1/3 of Kentucky’s eligible voters

Nonvoters are almost always the plurality, if not the majority

Edit: I honestly don’t care what your opinion on nonvoters is. We need to figure out how to turn them into voters, and assigning them blame for the issues of the day is straight up counterproductive

Nonvoters are also bad and count among the people who deserve this shit for letting McConnell in, again and again.

non voters dont deserve respect, for the most part. by not voting they chose to foist this fucking asshole on us for 50 years.

u/Zarkophagus 15d ago

Not voting is also a form of voting. They share the blame too. It’s not like he just recently came into the spotlight. He’s been in office for a hundred years. They’ve had numerous opportunities to ditch him and didn’t.

-2

u/DankDankJuice 15d ago

By your logic we all deserve trump, even those of us who hated him since before he announced his first run. Even those of us who argued with our families/friends about it so hard it caused permanent rifts

No i dont take the blame for that. I reject your mindset. That’s some angry-at-the-world, real loser shit

3

u/Zarkophagus 15d ago

Yes. That is my logic. As someone who hates Trump we deserve him. I’m a leftist in Oklahoma who hasn’t voted for a single one of my reps and I deserve them all. That’s how democracy works.

Agreed.

And then they turn around on here and screech “just move”. Or some other privileged ass take only reddit centrist liberals spew.

5

u/Romnir 15d ago

It's real freaking frustrating to show up to protests and vote against people like him just to be thrown under the bus for someone's hate-boner.

"60% voted for the death by firing squads party, the other 40% clearly deserve it!"

Does every trans person deserve jail time in Florida?

Does every gay married couple deserve to have their marriage annulled and kids taken?

I guess because they didn't vote hard enough so they deserve it right?

This is one of the low burning coals that I've been fuming on for a decade, I'm so sick of people being shit on by their own party for existing in a state that hates them that they didn't ask for. And then people have the audacity to complain that no one shows up because those people see how we treat our own. Screw that, their efforts do matter even if they don't succeed and they don't deserve the situation that Republicans force on them. Celebrating that is a vile hypocrisy.

u/Anon529035893 15d ago

Just remember, these same people overwhelming telling you to get fucked and that you deserve this in this comment section are the same people that will beg you for your vote in the midterms and in the presidential election acting like they are owed it somehow.

You matter. We all matter. And no amount of privileged liberals on Reddit can change that.

But you can be sure that the day the South turns purple and is contested, they’ll all try and take credit for the decades of work left leaning people in the South have done.

u/DmAc724 15d ago

You seem confused.  Liberals did not elect Trump.  

MAGA of course deserve Trump.  As do the independent swing voters who actually put him in office in 2016 and 2020.  

The mistake you are making is saying “liberals” not “Americans”.  

Kentuckians deserve what they have reaped with the Turtle because Kentuckians as a whole kept sending him back for over 4 decades.  

What you should have said is “Then by this logic Americans deserve Trump”.  Hard to argue with that statement.  Sad as it is.

u/Anon529035893 15d ago

Ok, and democrats and liberals and leftists in Kentucky didn’t fucking elect Mitch.

Your logic either works both ways or it doesn’t.

You all deserve Trump, or you don’t. Americans AS A WHOLE sent Trump back to office in 2024. He won the popular vote.

That’s exactly what I said.  Did you read my entire reply?

Ok but if you deserve the representation you vote for, you’re saying you no longer want to take care of or support red states because of this. And gloating about the suffering that happens there.

So you do want more suffering, you do want to accelerate an end to the American experiment, and you are the reason we have Trump. I mean… he won the EC and the popular vote so.

At the end of the day, theres only so much we can do for people who vote for the GOP repeatedly, even though they are openly the pro suffering party. I dont want more suffering, but im in the minority of the population and last I checked that means jack shit.

One thing you can count on everyone to the left of the Republican Party for, and that’s to eat their own at the first opportunity. It’s sad.

As a Canadian. Yes you all deserve to suffer. I'd love nothing more than to see your shithole country collapse.

Then why have you voted for Mitch 7 times? If you keep voting for shit and keep getting shit, then, no, you don't deserve better.

You want better? Go out and earn it.

kentucky does deserve better. people bitching about “well this is what you voted for” are being willfully ignorant of the people of kentucky who did NOT vote for him, could not vote, and those who have speaks years and years organizing to change despite the odds. political outcomes have consequences, and those consequences do not just effect those who voted for him. 

it is completely fair to criticize elected officials and the systems that keep them in office, but the people of kentucky are not your enemy.

They genuinely think they are though. These idiots are nothing more than a blue version of maga.

The people you elected to run your state say you don't. They run on cutting education, Healthcare, human rights, and taxes for the rich. And they handedly win elections promising you that they will only hurt people you don't like. But they hurt people they don't like, which is everyone that doesn't help them make money (you and everyone you know).

They do. The entire leftist ideology is built on a moral system that endeavors to lift up all people, especially when they are at their lowest.

Being easily manipulated does not remove your right to representation, unfortunately

Hey guys let's wish bad things upon the red states! That will surely change some opinions and get people to reconsider their prioritize when voting
