Thank you. I am not saying the Democrat Party has to agree with Sinema, but to censure her allows all of AZ’s posts the last few pages to be proven true. Act like adults and present your opinions to the Democrat voters in Arizona, and try and convince them that they should nominate a different candidate.

As to the many chastising AZ about the similar tactics used by the Republican Party against any anti-Trumpet, the analogy is valid. But removing someone from power because you don’t like their positions is kind of like what you are supposed to do! If the Democrats remove Sinema or Manchin from
a committee, that is within their rights. They are just too chicken to do so. If by some chance the Dems now had a 53-47 edge, they’d have kicked both of them to the curb.

You seem to think rules that exist shouldn't be used if it hasn't gone to the people first. Well, until it's designed that way, it's not the way it is.
I don't necessarily like it either, but that's what's been wrought.

You also said the same thing about Democrats with a barely there majority not supposed to pass a big bill like BBB. That's also allowed. Until that's changed it's perfectly valid.

Not only that, but the Tea Party was the PEOPLE, not the PARTY itself. Thus I do not even find it valid to be honest. I just find some liberals here upset that I am pointing out how the Democrat Party treats its own elected members. Obey or else should be their motto.

Democrats demand their members march in rank and file like the Prussian army. Get out of order and you will be dealt with. Same as if a Democrat refuses to say they love abortion.

Is it a surprise to you that they did this? Not the timing or exact measure, but to make her basically persona non grata in the party?

If they could pass that bill under the rules that exist they would have passed that bill a long time ago. I just think they are idiots to pass the big bill in the House until they knew it would pass in the Senate. They should have passed NO bill until they knew what would pass in the Senate. To not have any potential outliers (Manchin and Sinema) on board BEFORE it is passed in the House is the height of stupidity. Of course the Arizona Democrat Party could censure Sinema because they did censure her. If they think 1. She will now do what the Arizona Democrat wants her to do, or 2. The Arizona population is now more likely to vote for a primary challenger because Sinema was censured by party bosses, then they are even more stupid than I imagined.

The Arizona Democrat Party has censured Sinema! Her censurable offense? Voting to maintain the Senate filibuster! You can’t make this up! How long will it take the idiot Dems to realize that bullying Sinema (and Manchin) won’t work, and is a bad look for the Democrat party as a whole? Censured for voting like the MAJORITY of US Senators did!

Says a Trump supporter!!!???!!!!????

You can't even be serious right now.

Quote: Mission146

I think they passed the bill in the House first to put extra pressure on Manchin, who they knew would be a problem for them.

What does being a Trump supporter have to do with anything? How are Trump supporters different from Obama supporters?
