“While I continue to support these [voting rights] bills, I will not support separate actions that worsen the underlying disease of division infecting our country,” said Sinema, a first-term Democrat from Arizona.
“We must address the disease itself, the disease of division, to protect our democracy, and it cannot be achieved by one party alone. It cannot be achieved solely by the federal government. The response requires something greater and, yes, more difficult than what the Senate is discussing today.”
Sinema’s speech comes at an extremely perilous moment for US democracy. Republican lawmakers in 19 states have enacted 34 new laws, according to the Brennan Center for Justice, that impose new voting restrictions. They have also passed a slew of bills that seek to inject more partisan control into election administration and the counting of votes, an unprecedented trend experts are deeply concerned about and call election subversion. Many of those measures have been passed in state legislatures on simple majority, party-line votes. (The Guardian)
Senator Sinema of Arizona, somehow thinks that the how and what and which way the Republicans have abused Democracy, have stripped away fair voting for all Americans, have undermined fair and equal elections is not so much THE DISEASE, as having the Democrats try and make this nation a MORE PERFECT UNION! What a fucking FOOL, what a hypocrite, what an imposter! One has to wonder, which big money Puppet Masters have decided to buy this SENATOR.
Either Senator Sinema is too blind as to witness the scales of justice being usurped, too deaf as to NOT listening to ALL of the minorities, and Democrat voters becoming disenfranchised, or just too STUPID, as to believe, any political party under the leadership of McConnell, McCarthy or TRUMP ACTUALLY seeks to cure the so-called disease she describes. Shame on you SINEMA, you had the power to heal, but instead, you decided to kill DEMOCRACY!
