LUCHA Arizona noted that Sinema has been completely inaccessible and will not meet with constituents. They said that they wouldn’t have to chase her around Phoenix if she would meet with them.
Video of the chant of build back better pass the bill:
We wouldn't have to resort to confronting @senatorsinema around Phx if she took meetings with the communities that elected her. She's been completely inaccessible. We're sick of the political games, stop playing with our lives.

Sinema left Washington, DC, on Friday to hold a fundraiser. She didn’t go back to Arizona to meet with voters to hear what they wanted and needed. Anger and discontent with Sen. Sinema are growing by the day.
Sen. Sinema is going to be primaried if she continues down her current path. She has been so worried about being voted out in the general election in 2024 that she is setting herself up to get knocked off in a Democratic primary.Â
Sen. Joe Manchin attracts the rage of the left nationally, but that probably helps him politically in deep-red West Virginia. Arizona is shading more purple than red, so if Sinema keeps it up, she could find herself booted from the Senate by Democrats.
