Open note to Kyrsten Sinema
You have publicly stated that, even though you support the voting rights bills, that you would not support the filibuster carve out to get them passed. because it would further political polarization. I would submit that the overbidding concern should be the notion of the right to vote because with out that we don't have democracy or potentially any of our rights.
If you look at the history of politics in our nation throughout history, for most of it, it has been more regional than ideological. It is only recently that the parties have become ideologically driven. For most of our history one party has been dominant while the other has been relegated to seeking compromise and accepting whatever gains they can occasionally attain. Since the early 1990s both parties have had the ability to win a national election thru the electoral college. That coupled with the ideological bent of both parties has made the atmosphere what it is. This is going to continue until one party becomes dominant. Not getting the voting rights bills passed is delaying the possibility of the Democratic Party becoming the dominant party and thus making the changes to help better peoples lives in our society.

... because it all comes down to the money they will get from blocking changes in our energy policy,
pharmaceuticals, or making elections more open and cleaner. They are bought and paid for by the
super rich, the fossil fuel industries, and big pharma and they don't give one shit about America,
Americans, and the planet.
