Women's Website: Don't Bully Women...Unless It's Kyrsten Sinema

It's a good thing Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) has thick skin. I can only imagine what her social media interactions are right now. The phone calls to her office that her staff must answer must be outrageous as well. She’s nuking her party’s plans for this $3.5 trillion spending package. Democrats want to pass it via reconciliation because every Senate Republican is opposed; they can’t invoke cloture. So, not a single Democrat can defect. Vice President Harris casts the tie-breaking vote. Except there are two defections. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) is another ‘no’ vote, calling this package fiscal insanity. Activists are following her into the bathroom, folks. This is the Left. The Democrats probably won’t have this opportunity to pass such a left-wing goodie bag for the foreseeable future, so the tantrums are as expected as well as the media hypocrisy. Take Jezebel’s post on Sinema. The women’s website was quite blunt: ‘Absolutely Bully Kyrsten Sinema Outside Of Her Bathroom Stall’ (via Jezebel):

    On Sunday, social justice organization Living United for Change in Arizona uploaded a video of activists asking Sinema to defend her opposition to President Biden’s Build Back Better Act, an ambitious package which promises additional covid-19 relief, an extension of the Child Tax Credit, the creation of millions of clean-energy jobs, the revitalization of the nation’s infrastructure, universal preschool, free community college, an extension of covid-19 economic relief, and more. The Biden administration intends to pay for the multi-trillion dollar bill by making wealthy Americans and corporations pay higher taxes.

    Democrats at large support the bill, but two Senate Democrats, in particular, are busy holding up any significant advancements: Conservative Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Sinema of Arizona.

    The two have been in lockstep, opposing any modicum of progress since Biden entered office and insisting that means testing and smaller budgets suffice in solving decades-old problems and systemic inequities. But it’s Sinema’s unique brand of amused aloofness that grates in a way that Manchin’s inherent stubbornness does not.

    […]

    for all the pearl-clutching, few are providing a more effective and safe alternative to what these activists did. They told Sinema, to her face—and through a door—that she was failing them and why. There was no violence, no rude language, nothing. Just a few constituents following their representative into a large bathroom to air their grievances. What should they have done instead? Call her office and direct their ire through a receptionist like surely countless Americans do each day? Write her a letter she won’t read? Vote her into office again and hope that, this time, she’ll deign them important enough to listen to?

    But maybe it’s easier to act like a public bathroom is a sacred place than criticize the fact that Sinema decided to hide from her voters like a coward.

    Meanwhile, publications will likely continue to busy themselves marveling at the ease in which Sinema refuses to back down from her convoluted principles. But outside of the beltway bullshit, voters who saw her as the lesser of any number of Arizona evils in the voting booth have to contend with the fact that they might as well have stayed home and let her Republican competitor win. At this juncture, it’s hard to see much of a difference.

Sinema's probably most signature move as a legislator so far is her big podium thumbs down (ala McCain) of the Minimum Wage Law awhile back.  She might be liberal to kazoo everywhere else, but might show  some fiscally conservative leanings.  All this vitriol might just harden her position too.

Since Manchin is bending, I'll laugh my ass off if she holds the line and stops this socialist madness.

No surprise, the quoted write-up from the website in question was fundamentally dishonest :

"Just a few constituents following their representative into a large bathroom to air their grievances. What should they have done instead? Call her office and direct their ire through a receptionist like surely countless Americans do each day? Write her a letter she won’t read? Vote her into office again and hope that, this time, she’ll deign them important enough to listen to?"

Go back and listen to the actual audio of the in-the-women's-room video.  The young woman talking is not a constituent, not a voter, not even an American Citizen.  She could not attend her grandfather's funeral because "there is no pathway to citizenship."  She is a DACA.

Sinema was not followed by, nor was she hiding from, her constituents.  These activists are illegal aliens trying to complete their jump to the front of the line.

Sinema has always been one of the more available of Democrats.  She does Townhalls.  She was here in my County a few months back, but in this highly "red" County, even Supervisors were afraid to attend.  The Rats, even here, tend to violence.  It's not safe to be a Republican politician.

This thing with Senator Sinema really is "just part of the practice."  These freaks even get in our faces (like this video) of even the most minor of elected officials.  It's what keeps me out of that rat race (for now).
