Vote Out Sinema?

Why should anyone vote for Gallego over Sinema? Just getting a new face in the Senate means little in itself.


Yeah, we should just let the lying authoritarian hypocrites take away all our freedoms. 


What contraceptives we can use, what religion we can practice, what books we can read, what businesses we are allowed to patronize (No cake for you!), who we can marry, when and where we are allowed to peacefully assemble, where we can send our children to school without worrying some douchebag with an AR-15 will terrorize and murder them, how we can get healthcare without going bankrupt (nevermind how all those other countries can do it), how we can keep our retirements from being trashed in a manufactured crisis and then privatized in the name of reform by greedy profit-hungry vultures.


Sure, why should anyone want a lying, money-hungry sellout to be voted out of office? It's just one Senator, right? And another over here, and two over there. We wouldn't want a pedophile, evil, godless, communist, cross-dressing, rapist, tree-hugger to be voted into office, right?


So, how's that Republican healthcare plan working for you? The one where you drink Clorox and shove lights up your butt. The plan that would replace the older Republican healthcare plan known first as Romneycare, then Obamacare, the plan dreamed up by a conservative think tank. 


Just keep yelling "It's my body!" while refusing to wear a mask to protect others (Thou shalt not kill), then screaming at a woman who has a medical reason to get an abortion or take birth control to keep from dying. Or screaming at a pregnant 10-year-old rape victim.


Just keep thinking, along with millions of other apathetic voters, that voting for the 99% is an exercise in futility.
