Dems don't like when one of their own disagrees with them. Sic the liberal press on them.

Just go after her everywhere she goes and everything she's about until she caves in. The left are made up of sick people.

Now this:

NBC News op-ed accuses Sinema of pushing negative bisexual stereotypes like being 'greedy' and 'unreliable'

Sinema 'a cautionary tale about the limits of representation' writes Luz Alptraum

On Tuesday, NBC News published an opinion piece titled "Is Arizona's Kyrsten Sinema bad for bisexual Americans?" which focused on Sinema’s continued resistance against President Biden’s Build Back Better plan.

Sinema has been a target of criticism by progressive Democrats and their allies in the media for her opposition to several components of the trillion dollar economic legislation. Writer Lux Alptraum focused on Sinema’s status changing from a "bi icon" to "an unreliable centrist" and "a self-absorbed Democratic turncoat."

"Instead of a brash, bisexual icon willing and able to stand up to the far right, she’s now seen as an unreliable centrist, a self-absorbed Democratic turncoat more fixated on getting attention and lining her own pockets than uplifting her community. No longer a bi icon, she’s now held up as a cautionary tale about the limits of representation," Alptraum wrote.

 

More importantly, Alptraum showed concern for Sinema’s representation of bisexual women. As a bisexual woman herself, Alptraum claimed that Sinema’s recent stances pushes the image that bisexual women are "untrustworthy" and "greedy."

"Bi women are constantly told we’re untrustworthy, that our attraction to multiple genders means we’re more likely to cheat. We’re called greedy for finding more than one gender attractive, ‘confusing’ for liking more than one gender and self-absorbed because apparently our brains are unable to think about much beyond our own sexual gratification. Within the LGBTQ community, bisexuals can be viewed as fair-weather members at best — likely to bail the second we stop having fun. Media outlets might not be talking about Sinema’s sex life, but her political reputation as greedy, unreliable and attention-seeking echoes many of the stereotypes my community has been dealing with for years," Alptraum said.

"But in practice, it’s clear that politicians from marginalized backgrounds don’t always act in the best interests of their community. Sinema herself is proof of that. Despite her own history with poverty, she’s worked to gut the social safety net provisions included in the Build Back Better Act," Alptraum wrote.

Alptraum continued to argue that Sinema, by speaking out against the Build Back Better plan, is acting against "the best interests" of her own community.

Arizona Senators are in the habit of pissing off their own party, as McCain and Flake did before she came on the scene.

It’s called bird dogging, a long ago abandoned practice because it was considered rude, nasty and unfair.  But the modern left is shameless, so here it is again.

Makes me actually like her. Even if it costs her the next election I hope she stands firm on this one. This is a biggie. Gotta stop the spending. Who cares who calls you names?

Nowadays it's called "gaslighting".
