George Takei on Sinema and the upcoming vote

[BootinUp]

If Sen. Kyrsten Sinema blocks the climate and healthcare bill in order to protect corporations from pay 15% minimum taxes, I will devote my time and platform to supporting her primary opponent in 2024. And I will ask others here with large followings to join me.

1. After all the times she nuked the Dem agenda...

she was already on my list to primary in '24.

[dchill]

2. That will only work if she's even planning on running...

...again. She might just take a much higher paying gig. She doesn't really care - do u?

[lunatica]

4. Whatever it takes to make her go away

[AllyCat]

9. No, not whatever it takes.

Whatever legal way it takes.

[lunatica]

11. I stand corrected

Thanks.

[AllyCat]

16. We must be careful

[lunatica]

21. I agree.

Thanks!

[dchill]

20. Well, I wouldn't want her to do anything illegal! 😁

[Magoo48]

23. I'm for massive direct action and peaceful civil disobedience. Often it is illegal.

Often it should be illegal, because some of our 1st amendment rights are already criminalized.

5. You nailed it. She is going to open her own lobbying firm.

[duckworth969]

30. Yep

[G2theD]

41. She will lobby for the pharmaceutical companies

She get $$mucho dinero$$ from the big drug companies, which is the main reason she will probably vote against the bill.

[WVreaper]

3. I am in with George

[Takket]

6. She should be primaried regardless of her vote on this.

[Warpy]

7. I will pledge $$$

I can't stand that opportunistic little twit.

[LudwigPastorius]

8. I think we all know what's coming.

13. Sad but true depiction of her

[prodigitalson]

19. That's her voting against a minimum wage hike...and thinking she is cute while doing it. nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. Took me far too long to see the pills. Need more coffee.

[Earth-shine]

10. Aye, aye, Cap't Sulu.

At this point, she needs primarying now matter how she votes going forward.

[live love laugh]

12. Well she's gonna nix it.

Don’t understand why she wasn’t included in the equation before all the celebrations started.

[Martin68]

15. Because she wouldn't play ball. Sop they left her completely out of it. It will be hard for her to

to say No at this point. She has nothing to gain. Manchin made the deal and got his earmarks. Sinema has nothing.

[Martin68]

14. Sign me up.

[czarjak]

17. Stop the steal, nitwit. You are the enemy of the people, we didn't vote for you. PLEASE try decency.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

25. Huh?

[W_HAMILTON]

18. She is DOA next time around anyway.

I'm pretty sure Ruben Gallego suggested that he would primary her -- and he would demolish her.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

22. Tens of thousands of Democrats nationwide feel the same.

And a large chunk of those live and vote in AZ.

[Raster]

34. This Democrat in Arizona is ready to #PrimarySinema

I campaigned for Sinema.
I raised money for Sinema.
I voted for Sinema.
I want my time, my money, and my vote back.

#PrimarySinema
#ArizonaDeservesBetterThanSinema

[calimary]

36. I'm not in Arizona but I donated to her campaign.

Won’t make that mistake again!

[AZ8theist]

38. Your post is my story as well....

WORD. FOR. WORD.

I would suggest another hashtag also:

#SinemaisaCircusClown

[housecat]

26. I'm with you!

[housecat]

27. just another greedy DINO who wants attention

[housecat]

28. Please be sure she knows that

[live love laugh]

29. Why? So she can laugh about it?

[housecat]

31. Yes, but she won't have the last laugh

[quakerboy]

32. I think its a mistake to think that matters to her

She is banking on the private jobs that are being promised to her AFTER she leaves the senate.

[Raster]

35. She is all about the #LobbyistCashDaddies and the #BillionaireBros...

... and NOT the people that elected her.

What. A. Profound. Disappointment.

[SWBTATTReg]

33. I wonder who bribed her?

[The Wizard]

37. She's only in it for the money

[Blue Owl]

39. Done!

[OneCrazyDiamond]

40. I read she was against the carried interest

proposal. Is she against the 15% minimum corporate tax too?

[YavapaiBlue]

42. Primary her ass

I live in the AZ, and yes I voted for her and she lied to us, I’m hoping and hearing that our congressman Ruben Gallego might make a go of it against her? Former combat marine doesn’t mince words, hell he might even throw an F bomb every now and then
