(2,574 posts)60. Arizona Democratic Party passes resolution criticizing Sinema on filibuster, reconciliation
The Arizona state Democratic Party overwhelmingly passed a resolution on Saturday that criticizes Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) for her opposition to eliminating the filibuster to pass legislation key to the party and for her stance on Democrats' $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill.
The resolution passed in the committee in a 415-99 vote, according to Progress Arizona, an organization that advocates for progressives in the state.
The measure warned Sinema that the state party will closely watch her upcoming votes, and if she does not vote for the massive Democratic budget reconciliation package, it will go officially on record and give Senate Sinema a vote of NO CONFIDENCE.
The Arizona Democratic Party also called on Sinema to support ending the filibuster to allow the passage of voting rights legislation, including the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. They urged her to nix the filibuster to help pass other urgent legislation, including the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, commonly referred to as the PRO Act.

Obviously some very deep pockets got her attention. She better fucking raise the debt ceiling.

Right, I wonder if she listens to her PR team, or thinks she knows better than they do.

Narcissists have poor social awareness, can't stand criticism, often claim victim status to deflect

I wonder if the AZ Dems publicly speaking against her might be part of the problem

What stood out is Sinema was the ONLY Democrat who supported Trump MORE than expected

So Manchin and Sinema are keeping the Infrastructure Bill from coming to a vote in the House?

If they obstruct negotiations on the Reconciliation bill? Yes, according to the President.

I predict she will face an unbeatable challenger in the primaries, will lose by a landslide.
