I’ve been thinking about how activists approached Sinema yesterday and I am still in agreement with what they did. They didn’t threaten her, beyond saying stuff relating to making sure she doesn’t get elected again. They didn’t bang on the stall door or say one thing that could be considered violent, hateful or threatening. They told the truth to a person who rarely spends time doing senate business in her own state. Maybe if she could make the time for the people who elected her that might have helped. These were college students who believed in her and she basically told them all to fuck off. IMO this needs to happen more, not less. A public restroom is where Sinema went to hide. She washed her hands and went into a stall, hiding. No one answers their calls in her local office, no email responses, no responses at all. So are they supposed to just be nice and polite and then what? The video shows nothing awful happening, no threats, no violence and not one open carry idiot with a flag on their shirt to be seen anywhere. It wouldn’t matter if they confronted her in the bathroom or the parking lot, the usual suspects will make them into antifaillegalsterrorizingamerica!!!!

She could have defused this by stopping for a few minutes and not being a smart ass jerk. She’s there to collect a paycheck no one makes her work for. This may likely backfire, but it’s because of our fucking stupid media and social media being sociopathic, not these young people fighting for their future. You will NEVER win this war without crossing some boundaries. And again, this is a public bathroom, those young women weren’t breaking any laws or rules.
