Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) said on Thursday that she will not help her party to weaken or abolish the filibuster, all but ending President Joe Biden's aspiration to pass comprehensive voting legislation that would increase the federal government's power over elections. This announcement comes as little surprise to observers of the Arizona maverick who, like former Sen. John McCain, has long been willing to break with her party on various issues. "There's no need for me to restate its role in protecting our country from wild reversals of federal policy," Sinema said on Thursday.
The announcement, though unsurprising, is a hard blow to President Joe Biden and other Democratic leaders... Biden told a mostly-black crowd in Georgia.
"I support changing the Senate rules in whatever way they need to be changed to prevent a minority of senators from blocking action on voting rights." (https://media.gab.com/system/media_attachments/files/095/761/727/small/040a4cccc3c8fa77.png)
Democrats have made several efforts to pass various pieces of election legislation that would effectively put the federal government in charge of elections across the United States... Because of the Senate's filibuster rule, practically any election legislation that the House could send to the Senate would need the support of at least 60 senators, including 10 GOP senators, to open debate on the measure and allow it to go to a simple majority floor vote. To get around this Senate rule, which has been a mainstay in the Senate for decades,
Schumer, Biden, and other Democrats have formulated a new strategy: Change the Senate's rules completely to make the deliberative chamber into a smaller version of the House... Using the so-called "nuclear option," the majority party can change Senate rules by a simple majority vote.

This is not the first time that Sinema has expressed her opposition to weakening the filibuster. Democrats had the same debate during the summer of 2021, and in that debate
Sinema squarely opposed the radical changes being proposed by her party... Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) has also expressed opposition to changing the filibuster to pass voting legislation in the past, though it is unclear whether she continues to hold to this position as she has been far less outspoken than Sinema and Manchin.
Sinema's announcement represents another defeat for Biden, whose $1.85 trillion "Build Back Better" Act was effectively killed by Manchin's opposition...

The other thing we're saying here is this - ugly, bitter women who support trannys and pedophiles.
