One such effort, Primary Sinema PAC, launched on Thursday, announcing that it would raise money to fund grassroots groups in Arizona that can “hold Sinema accountable” and “lay the foundation for a successful primary campaign when a strong challenger emerges.”

“It’s clear that Sen. Sinema is not listening to the people of Arizona,” "We fought tirelessly to elect Kyrsten Sinema in 2018," said Alex Gomez and Tomas Robles, the co-executive directors of Living United for Change in Arizona, one of the groups slated to receive funding from Primary Sinema PAC.

"Sinema has proven time and time again that she doesn't share these values, so it's time to organize and replace her with someone who does," they said.

“The people of Arizona voted for Joe Biden and the Biden agenda,” Leah Hunt-Hendrix, the co-founder and vice president of Way to Win, said. “Sen. Sinema is opposing Biden’s popular policies, which are supported by broad, bipartisan majorities of Arizonans. If she continues to stand in the way, then we’re going to hold her accountable.”

1. We need to make sure our candidates are screened better.

Something is really wrong with Sinema, maybe we could have caught it with better vetting.

2. She can be recalled

Arizona has a recall process.

4. No she can't

Can't recall members of Congress.

12. Only for state legislators.

So they need to use that on Karen Fann.

3. This is crunch time for Sinema. Today. There is no turning back for her.

She either comes to Biden or she will lose her job. Take your pick, Kyrsten. You won't survive your no-vote.

10. Unfortunately, she won't lose her job until 2024. We're stuck with her until then

Tbh, I don't think she's even planning to run for reelection.

5. In my humble opinion, Sinema doesn't have even

the AURA of a good Senator.

6. She's a bit of a joke

And she doesn’t give a shit about her job. She’s getting her 15 minutes of fame which she hopes will turn into a high paying lobbying job.

7. Best to treat Sinema with kid gloves and see if we can coax her into action gently.

This woman scares me and I'm afraid that if we push her too hard she will flip. Look, she already knows she not going to win the next election as a member of the Democratic Party, and she'll reach goddess status with the pugs because of her so-called owning of the libs.

8. I don't see Manchin nor Sinema coming remotely close to meeting consensus

on the reconciliation bill.

They're in a different world; where it's fashionable to bemoan the plight and struggles of the middle class and poor so long as you don't allow government to do anything about it.

It's all about big business and the oligarchs owning the rest.

13. No, I think the pressure needs to be put on her

and she needs to be reminded who elected her. Arizona is now capable of having a competitive Democratic primary and having their candidate win the general election too.

9. Being primaried tends to focus the mind.

11. Yes! Way to Go Arizona Democrats!

A good Democratic primary is just the ticket for the party to hold onto that seat and replace Sinema at the same time. There are more than enough Democrats in Arizona to do it.
