'Moscow Mitch' Tag Enrages McConnell and Squeezes G.O.P. on Election Security
This bit is quite hilarious and sad at the same time.

After this: Petition to change his name to "Mitch The Bitch"?
Itchy MitchNo, we most go to the origins, to the more simple times of 'Cocaine Mitch'.
If it's stupid and it works, then it is not stupid.To be effective, a mocking nickname should actually have some relation to the actual person being mocked. Otherwise, it just makes the people using it look stupid.

There is just enough basis to call Mitch a traitor for not even trying to secure elections from outside interference - yes, I know that you are a denier of any Russian interference in 2016, so whatever to your opinion on that front - that they can use the moniker. It is catchy. It is actually affecting his polling numbers. He is thrown off balance and looks like a whiny baby every time he tries to defend why he doesn't deserve the name.
It is working, therefore it is certainly not stupid.
So you are Jon Snow and have no fucking clue what is actually happening in your home country. Got it.It's not working. It's not doing anything but making people who don't like him feel good. It's an in-group signifier, like Trumper or Clintonista or Bernie Bro,

I already mentioned all of this (not Jon Snow, but if you can't get that reference you are way too out of touch). Try reading.Perhaps you can enlighten me as to a) who the hell John Snow is and b) how this damages the Trump administration and c) what purpose it serves other than to make people who don't like this guy feel good.
Yet I educate myself on what is going on in the US since it affects the entire planet. You should try it some time.And don't you live in Canada?
- the pressure comes in part from the name Moscow Mitch sticking in people's minds (after trending on Twitter, news, etc.)

Honestly. I think the annoyance stems more from the fact that his actual briberies come from his chinese in-laws. Get the right commie damnation!
I'm bored

Oh c'mon. People are easily propagandized, but not this easily. If they were, democracy would be a total sham. Clinton lost because "Killary" has zing!
You have to make a case for these supposed causal connections, not simply assert them.
I'm getting really tired of logic-free assertions backed up by nothing but brow-beating and emotional appeals, which seems to be 90% of discussions about politics.
Tough titties. You are refusing all logic by your poor understanding of politics and human psychology in general. The emotional component has always been stronger than policy discussion when it comes to politics, so ignoring it is to ignore politics itself.Oh c'mon.

It's not working for people like you or me, who go "what's got that old dirty turtle to do with such a nice city." But the fun thing is, it's working for the turtle only because of his russophobia. I just love itIt's not working. It's not doing anything but making people who don't like him feel good. It's an in-group signifier, like Trumper or Clintonista or Bernie Bro,
Considering that Moscow Mitch is triggered by the use of said nickname rather than just rolling his eyes, it says a lot about its relevance, so thanks for agreeing. ;-)To be effective, a mocking nickname should actually have some relation to the actual person being mocked. Otherwise, it just makes the people using it look stupid.
