"Arizona Democrats have censured Kyrsten Sinema over her pro-filibuster vote

Arizona's Democratic Party is rebuking one of its own. Its executive board voted on Saturday to censure Sen. Kyrsten Sinema over her opposition to changing the filibuster. By opposing the change, Sinema, along with West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin and all Senate Republicans, prevented Senate Democrats from advancing major [legislation federalizing voting procedures] earlier this week.

ADP Chair Raquel Terán said in a statement that while the party appreciates Sinema's leadership in passing the American Rescue Plan and bipartisan infrastructure law, the "ramifications of failing to pass federal legislation that protects [constituents'] right to vote are too large and far-reaching [fact check: the proposed bill does not protect voting rights]."

Yeah...tow the party line or else. Not that Republicans havnt donenthe same thing.

I havnt read the statements but I seen headlines that Biden/Harris have claimed something to the effect that 2022 elections might not be trustworthy if voting rights isnt passed.

They have done the same thing, and certain people (cough tw cough) have cited it as proof that the GOP is some sort of cult that is an existential danger to the American system of government.

there is a ton of evidence of the cult, not just a single censure by one crazy state

and you should be getting worried... i imagine you like R's such as Dan Crenshaw, yet he's under fire for feuding w/ Trump acolyte Marjorie Greene

and they've shown they're willing to completely open fire on DeSantis if he doesn't stay under Trump's heel

Rugian is on record agreeing with me that Greene is AOC sort of crazy/ dumb.

IDK about Crenshaw. I mean he seems reasonable, but I don't know alot about his politics.

Looked up red flag laws. Turns out its a good thiing, not a surprise. Foreskin is a disgusting human being,

Hopefully a bad guy who who would’ve had his guns taken by such laws shoots up Forwyn’s family and not some innocent person’s instead.
