In microcosm, this is how the communist party of America (Democrats) sees how citizens should behave. They decide, and we vote as directed.
They do not recognize the basic concept of voting.
“Young activists are holding a second hunger strike to draw attention to Sinema’s vote.”
Young activists hold hunger strike until cannabis and cannabis products arrive...
She and Manchin need police protection from their prospective states.
Awwwww......they don’t like their own “maverick”. /S
Kyrsten Sinema (Maverick, AZ).
She’s setting herself up to be in the Senate a LONG time. Independents can vote in primaries. Remember in 2014:
“Delivering a strong rebuke to U.S. Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republicans passed a resolution to censure the one-time presidential nominee for what they characterize as a liberal record that has been “disastrous and harmful” to the state and nation.
While McCain is a political star on the national stage, for years he has had to contend with vocal critics in his home state, who accuse him of betraying the Grand Old Party’s principles.
Saturday’s censure came two weeks after the Maricopa County Republican Party passed a resolution to censure the senator on a 1,150-to-351 vote.”

Two years later, he beat Kelli Ward in the primary 51:40 and won election by a 54:41 margin.
Democracy itself is threatened when the dead and /or mythical voters can’t vote Democrat.
What is wrong with Democrat votes being counted four or five times? That is the way it has been done for a long time.
The GOP is trying to suppress good, honest cheating by Democrats. How dare they do that !
Voters cannot be expected to show ID to vote.
They know they can’t win with fair election. They’re communists.
When you are doing a hunger strike, your commitment level becomes obvious very fast. I mean, you’re either Bobby Sands, or you aren’t.
Very foolish of Democrats to threaten and harass Sinema when they only have a razor-edge thin majority in the Senate. If Sinema were to flip to the Republicans, all of the Democrat-run committees and chair assignments could go “poof”!
At the present, Sinema and Manchin are the two most powerful people in Congress.
I don’t agree with Sinema on several major issues, but I have to respect her courage in the face of nonstop conformity pressure.
“I’d never vote for her but she did save the country from a leftist dictatorship.”
Seems like that would be a main reason to vote for her. She accomplished more than hundreds of senators ever did.
“When you are doing a hunger strike, your commitment level becomes obvious very fast. I mean, you’re either Bobby Sands, or you aren’t.”
True story: Jesse Jackson was asked why, 30 days into a hunger strike, he didn’t appear to lose any weight. His answer was something like “actually, it’s several of us on a rotational basis”.
But yes, Bobby Sands was a REAL MAN, committed to his cause.
Why isn’t this woman all over the Sunday talk shows and all over the networks being extolled as a maverick and as a “strong woman”?
The hypocrisy of these people is deeply rooted. They care only about acquiring power to rule over our lives.
Looks like some of those hunger strikers could go 6 months on fat reserves.
Laphonza Butler, president of Emily’s List and people like Shana Gallagher, one of about three dozen young people holding a hunger strike to protest Sinema and Manchin, is what she is facing. Even Sanders says he intends to lend support to a primary candidate.
So what you have is a wide range of wide eyed committed nuts.
Dems shouldn’t poke the bear.
Censured for voting your conscience?
” many Democrats consider essential to preserving democracy. “
Good ol’ AP. No bias here.
She will be the hero when the GOP takes back the Senate in 2022.
She’ll make out better in the long run...much better than the Dems ever dreamed.
