you are ignoring everything he said and you're being a dick about it. Saying you and Sinema are racists is stating a verifiable fact

Denying people the right to vote because they are black is real racism. It's as racist as it gets.

Now that we've rescinded our contributions to Sinema, let's take the next step and primary her right out of the Senate. The state of Arizona may be just about ready to elect a Senator who doesn't curtsy while denying working people a living wage...

Um, yes, really. That’s seriously the part of the article that sticks in your craw?!

He's gonna run himself right out of business. Canada's already ahead of the US, and has far less hesitance to deal with. Should we take bets on how long this heroic idiotic posture will last? Bet based on %age vaccination in Toronto?

It's not just dealing with food. Anything contagious is a public health issue, and impacts others in the workplace, so the owners of the space have not only the right but the responsibility to ensure that one worker does not kill another (this is also true for guns, but because our system is kinda fucked up, it's not always possible to ask whether someone is carrying a firearm). With food or any other public service industry, it is also important not to kill your customers, but they aren't the only ones impacted by public health matters.

How do you get a principled, bipartisan solution to protecting voting rights when one party has concluded that protecting voting rights is not in their political interest?

This is my only noncomment for days now -

I am an Arizona voter -

Kyrsten Sinema should remember that lust comes and goes - but hate forms a core that will never crumble -

If she is the only candidate in the General, I will vote for her.

All politicians send canned replies. However, the important thing is when they start seeing the numbers of people taking the time to write pro or con on an issue. They never see your letters, unless one is so spectacular the intern going through the mail sends it up the line (but even they probably don't have time to read the whole thing, just up until they can figure out which columns to tick). But it does get tabulated, and they do see those numbers. Emails and calls will count the same if you prefer (unless they're still using the old formulas that snail mail counts some factor more than emails or calls).

So keep writing, especially if you're in AZ. It matters, as surely as your vote does.

He's the real deal, having survived the camp, and doing some Civil rights fights of his own.

I think she was copying John McCain's 'Maverick" act, which I enjoyed because his vote saved our health-care. (also, the fuck-you to tfg.)

Inquiring minds want to know how much did Charles Koch put in her bank account.

What is wrong with her? Who is funding her?
