Sinema is a Democrat. Sorry that reality doesn't care for your idiotic litmus tests!

Nah, emphatically voting against a minimum wage increase after campaigning on the idea that you grew up poor and needed government assistance to survive is a level of out-of-touchness that is reserved typically for Republicans. Not to mention the filibuster thing and voting with Trump over 50% of the time during her time in Congress. She may have been a Democratic 20-30 years ago, but not anymore. But 20-30 years ago, she was actually progressive. Funny how things change.
Looks like you are, instead of trying to put forth a thoughtful way to criticize a intra-party opponent, just decided to slap a label on someone you don't like and call it a day. You are displaying Ben Shapiro levels of rhetorical cleverness right now. Usually the lazy old "Democrat I don't like is a Republican!" talking point is done more elegantly.
What a shambolic display. You don't know how to define "Republican" and you might never will. Democrat and progressive are not synonymous and never have.
The talking points you are using do little more than imbue our politics with additional toxicity, and amount to laughable gatekeeping.

Yeah, you’re right. I don’t know what Democrats believe in. Let’s ask the Democrats:

Quote
Democrats will fight to raise wages for working people and improve job quality and security, including by raising the federal minimum wage so it reaches $15 an hour by 2026. Raising the federal minimum wage, so fewer workers are forced to hold down multiple jobs to make ends meet, will significantly decrease risks of infection from COVID-19 and in the future.

https://democrats.org/where-we-stand/party-platform/building-a-stronger-fairer-economy/
Imagine thinking that supporting $15 is a precondition for being a Democrat.
I guess everyone who recommended the OP in my thread calling $15 nationwide minimum wage an iteration of voodoo economics isn't a Democrat either! By default!

Anyway, I am stopping here. Your clownery has been exposed for what it is, and frankly, all that can be done has been done.
