And That Is A Good Thing
by Bob Walsh
Krysten Sinema is the first Democrat elected to the U S Senate from Arizona in ages. She is by any reasonable classification system a centrist. She actually won in Maricopa County, not an easy thing for a Democrat.
Trouble is her "fellow" Democrats think she is dangerous. She actually voted (along with two other Democrat senators) to confirm Bill Barr as the Attorney General. Trump nominated Bill bar so clearly Sinema is a hater and a racist and a homophobe and an Islamophobe and must be DESTROYED.
Her fellow Democrats want to censure her. The state coordinator for Progressive Democrats for America, Dan O'Neal, said, "But the way she is voting is really disappointing. We want democrats to vote like Democrats and not Republicans." Yes, a paltry 81% of her votes have been against Trump policies. Clearly that isn't enough. If you don't support slavery reparations, illegal immigrants, MediCare for all, free college for everybody and mandatory gun confiscation you are not worthy to be called a Democrat. Ideological purity is what they DEMAND.
That is a good thing for America. If they keep it up we may very well end up with another four years of Trump. I think we can live with that. I may even vote for the sonofabitch this time around, just to bugger up the stats.
