Besides being only one of two Dems wanting to kill the voting rights act, apparently Khristian Sinema also is against wearing masks.
Gosh, why am I feeling highly cynical tonight?
For months Sinema and fellow centrist Democrat Joe Manchin have defended the filibuster which stands as a major hurdle to voting rights reform

Sinema says no to filibuster reform scuttling Democrats’ voting rights hopes

Joe Biden was in crisis talks with Senate Democratic rebels Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema at the White House on Thursday night after they thwarted his high-stakes efforts to push voting rights legislation through Congress, according to several reports.
Her surprise last-minute move with a speech effectively killed her party’s hope of passing the most sweeping voting rights protections in a generation.

    They don’t make great accessories. That purse, that chunky ring, those frames, and those earrings are just too cute; you don’t want to draw attention away from her incredible fashion sense.

    She once referred to John Lewis as her hero. Time to walk that one back, Kyrsten.

    She wore a mask (& a backpack) when she voted against raising the federal minimum wage.

    Why does what she wears or her accessories matter?  I mean other than the mask?

    What did Manchin wear?  Y'all are about as bad as the tan suit people.

    It doesn't matter to me at all. I just think that it matters a lot more to her than doing her job well.

    And that matters to all of us. 

    Of course, I could be wrong.

    Agreed.
  • Does anyone know where she got those boots? Lost in Space set, maybe? Strip her of her committee assignments after making her go on the record with her vote against ending the filibuster and her no vote on the Voting Rights bill. Along with Joe Manchurian.

    With much more serious issues at stake, I don't place a huge amount of emphasis on fashion, but I will say I think law makers who are serious about there work are going to make an effort to look professional.   That is becoming less and less a thing these days.  I'm rather conservative about this issue.  I think, for example, that it is very tacky to see people boarding airplanes wearing flip flops and shorts.  I can't help put think, "Have some self-respect people".

    But more importantly, here's the thing:  like Hobbes and JLGardell said (thank you, both), this is a lawmaker who is backsliding on important issues and turning her back those who want fair voting practices.  Like her tacking fashion bullshit, she is drawing attention to herself, inflating her ego, making a splash as it were.  Who knows, maybe she will decide to throw in her lot with Marjorie Taylor Greene. Fine.  Go suck eggs, traitor.

    She's trolling. 

    That's where we are as a nation, elected reps are trolling the citizenry.

    Exactly!  And it's disgusting.  We must look like a nation of fools to the rest of the world.  She doesn't represent all law makers, of course, but that she is tolerated for her petty insolence, she does represent a part of who we are.   Add to that,with almost half the country supporting Trump and seeming to be OK with things like the Jan 6 insurrection- these are sure signs of our failure at this time in history as a country.

  • I really could give a rats ass about what anyone wears but I’d be more outraged if she wore a tan pant suit. Seriously though, it’s her politics and her claiming to be a dem without offering alternatives to what she opposes. Same with Manchurian Joe. Sometimes your ego and/or your “dem” constituents need to take a hit for the team and/or the good of the country. If anyone thinks for a second that Moscow Mitchy Baby wouldn’t end the filibuster if it’d help his cause, either personally, for the party or POOTWH, they’re kidding themselves. Watch as millions of “other” ‘Muricans are disenfranchised. Good luck.

    So - everyone upset that the republicans all stick together and don’t vote their individual beliefs….

    then they get upset when someone votes their individual beliefs instead of towing the party line….

    Without offering alternatives or explicitly stating where they stand and what would get them to budge, if anything. Disingenuousness is what bothers me. She and Manchurian Joe have wasted months being liars and coy. Its almost like they want the repubs back in power so they won’t have to work, vote or worry about getting re-elected, just cruise along.
