Her actions don\u2019t seem to be enough for progressives, however, who have once against come out in full force to decry the actions of the Arizona senator, pressuring her to take action to push through the legislation.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LXzlnKtDIso\"><span class=\"s1\">ads<\/span><\/a> put out by the progressive group, it portrayed images of Sinema voting against raising the minimum wage and said that she \u201cdidn\u2019t even show up\u201d to vote on a January 6 commission. Sinema has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azcentral.com\/story\/news\/politics\/arizona\/2021\/06\/01\/sen-kyrsten-sinema-answers-why-she-skipped-jan-6-commission-vote\/7498330002\/\"><span class=\"s1\">said<\/span><\/a> that she had a \u201cpersonal family matter\u201d during the commission vote, and her office said \u201cshe would\u2019ve voted yes.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The ad criticized Sinema\u2019s actions and blamed her for the inability of Democrats to push through election reform legislation. \u201cAs the GOP tries to silence our voices, she\u2019s just standing by, supporting a Jim Crow relic instead,\u201d it said. \u201cYou\u2019re refusing to stand with us, Senator Sinema. Why should we stand with you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yBP6mjYUNQI\"><span class=\"s1\">ad<\/span><\/a> with several activists, including an indigenous activist, community activist, and union organizer, once again appeared to claim that voter laws are a \u201cJim Crow relic\u201d and the rights of certain people to vote is \u201cunder attack.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The group\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/justdemocracy.us\/about-us\/\"><span class=\"s1\">website<\/span><\/a> explained its controversial stances on current issues, saying, \u201cWe start by calling for eliminating the filibuster, abolishing the electoral college, reforming the Supreme Court,\u00a0 and passing D.C. statehood. The American government does not look like the will of the people, and neither does its policies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A spokesperson for the Arizona senator said in an email to NBC News: \u201cKyrsten believes the right to vote, faith in the integrity of our electoral process, and trust in elected officials are critical to the health and vitality of our democracy. She is a co-sponsor and supporter of both the For The People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act because she supports legislation restoring critical safeguards that protect every American\u2019s right to vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Regarding her stance against getting rid of the filibuster, Sinema has <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/556587-sinema-defends-filibuster-sparking-progressive-fury\"><span class=\"s1\">said<\/span><\/a> that it \u201cprotects the democracy of our nation rather than allowing our country to ricochet wildly every two to four years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cTo those who say that we must make a choice between the filibuster and \u2018X,\u2019 I say, this is a false choice. The reality is that when you have a system that is not working effectively \u2014 and I would think that most would agree that the Senate is not a particularly well-oiled machine, right? The way to fix that is to fix your behavior, not to eliminate the rules or change the rules, but to change the behavior,\u201d Sinema <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/556587-sinema-defends-filibuster-sparking-progressive-fury\"><span class=\"s1\">said<\/span><\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A little over a week ago, Arizona Democrats put similar pressure on Sinema to abolish the filibuster in order to force through President Joe Biden\u2019s plans.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/arizona-dems-pressure-kyrsten-sinema-to-help-kill-the-filibuster\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a>, in a letter sent to Senator Sinema, \u201cmembers of Arizona\u2019s state House and Senate argued that Republicans are enacting voter suppression bills across the nation and tasked Sinema with helping to pass the Democrats\u2019 voting rights bill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe 2020 general election saw record-breaking levels of voter participation across the country,\u201d the letter read, as reported by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/arizona-democrats-sinema-for-the-people_n_60c2166ce4b0af343e9ce58e\"><span class=\"s1\">HuffPost<\/span><\/a>. \u201cBut instead of celebrating this historic achievement, our freedom to vote is being threatened in state legislatures across the country.\u201d <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cGiven Republican obstruction, the bill will die in the U.S. Senate unless members are willing to work outside the box. We call on you to do everything necessary, up to and including reforming the filibuster, to pass the \u2018For the People Act.\u2019 Our democracy is too important to be sacrificed at the altar of archaic and anti-democratic Senate procedures such as the filibuster,\u201d the letter asserted.\u00a0\u201cAs fellow Arizona legislators we are calling upon you with respect and urgency to stand up in this crucial moment for our state and for our country to make the promise of democracy real for us all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watch the ads below:<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Words\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yBP6mjYUNQI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Thumbs Down\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LXzlnKtDIso?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
