Kyrsten Sinema Faces No Confidence Threat From Arizona Dems Over Filibuster

The Arizona Democratic Party has pledged to hold a vote of no confidence against state Sen. Kyrsten Sinema if she votes against filibuster reform, accusing her of continuing to protecting a "Jim Crow relic" under the guise of bipartisanship.

In a statement after a Saturday meeting, the Arizona Democratic Party State Committee said the Democratic Party was at a "critical crossroads" and could lose both the House and Senate in the 2022 midterm elections if legislation is not passed on issues including voting rights, healthcare and immigration.

It noted that an overwhelming 91 percent of committee members had called for an immediate elimination of the Senate filibuster—which the committee branded a "Jim Crow relic"—in May.

She has long maintained that the filibuster forces Republicans and Democrats to work together.

Oh FFS no it doesn't. Two words, Mitch McConnell.

Please represent your constituents Senator.
