Democrat Senator Kyrsten Sinema Maintains Opposition to Ending Filibuster, ‘We’ll Lose More Than We Gain’

Katherine Hamilton 22 Jun 2021

Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) continues to staunchly oppose ending the filibuster, despite growing pressure from the extreme left wing of the Democrat party.

Sinema reaffirmed her position in a Washington Post op-ed Monday, saying ending the filibuster will do more harm than good:

To those who want to eliminate the legislative filibuster to pass the For the People Act (voting-rights legislation I support and have co-sponsored), I would ask: Would it be good for our country if we did, only to see that legislation rescinded a few years from now and replaced by a nationwide voter-ID law or restrictions on voting by mail in federal elections, over the objections of the minority?

Her op-ed ran the same day that far-left group “Just Democracy” began running a $1.2 million targeted ad campaign to pressure Sinema into trashing the filibuster, Breitbart News previously reported. The campaign, which will run from June 21 – June 30, comes amid Democrat fears that Republicans will use the filibuster to block the legislation designed cancel state voter ID laws and publicly fund political campaigns.

The “For the People Act” is up for a vote in the Senate this week — legislation which Democrats say will restore faith in democracy and Republicans say will rig elections permanently in Democrats’ favor.

No idea whether Sinema is trustworthy on this.  Just the fact that she's a D makes her untrustworthy in my book.

But at least she's aware that what she might want *now* could bite her in the butt in the long run. That understanding is becoming rare these days.

How any intelligent person can be a member of the Democommie Party is a mystery.  The Dems fully support anarchy organizations like BLM and Antifa, which should bring a criminal count of treason with it.  No joke.  And the same for any corporation that plows money into either anarchy group. 

And the USA needs to establish an extradition agreement with Hungary, and that would take care of George Soros, where he is wanted for treason and conspiring with the Nazis.

Sinema is right.  What the Dems strive for at present would destroy them.  It would stimulate a 2nd revolution.
