To me, the implications of your statement are that things are broken and not working well. With that, I agree.
Personally, I think it goes beyond government down to economic systems - in particular - the fact that the most widely-accepted economic model is a "winner take all" system. As I see it (which does not mean that my assessment is correct), the economic system has lead to numbers of super-rich that are of questionable mental soundness.
In the context of a discussion about McConnell, even if the Senate were to change, we would still have the problems that McConnell introduces as long as people like him hold power in that government. When he comes out in public as uncaring about what his constituents want and is determined to enact as many right-leaning laws as possible, it is clear to me that he has either willfully, or otherwise, forgotten that the US government is supposed to be "of the people, by the people, and for the people," and perhaps more so, the founding fathers of the US intended a separation of church and state for very valid reasons.
I think that McConnell also sees that there is something wrong in the world; however, it sounds to me as if his determination of the root cause of those problems is likely that "mankind has turned away from God" especially given his right-leaning and his public statements regarding his belief in global warming. To me, and others, I am sure, this is a simplistic viewpoint that would rather place the responsibility for cleaning up humanity's mess in the hands of an all-powerful being as opposed to the much harder task of reasoning through the problems and finding a solution to them ourselves.
Yet until people in the US refuse to elect people like McConnell, even changes in the fundamental structure of the government would do little to quell the voices of the spores of deadly fungus, like McConnell, that believe they were appointed by God to carry out God's mission.
I have to wonder what government would be like if there were no majority leaders, in other words, what would government be like if the issues that were brought to the floor of the house or the senate were not up to the whims of a majority leader, but rather to a vote of the majority of members of either. I am willing to bet there would be a lot more accomplished, and that there would be a possibility that what was accomplished was more meaningful than the
that passes for progress today.
