Apparently, voting against the president 81% of the time constitutes being a raging right-wing reprobate in today’s liberal hive mind.

According to fake commentary in the American thinker perhaps.
Can you find a record of that censure by “Arizona Democrats”?
 
The americanthinker said “Democrat Censured” which has clearly not happened yet and may never happen. The proposal was from one faction within the party. Let’s wait to see if the party goes along with it.

LOL. This link, among others that read, that made it clear that the censure call came from the Progressive Caucus within the AZ democratic party. The party as a whole did not call for censure, and did not go forward with the vote for censure.

The Caucus indicated the her support for the Democratic platform was, in their eyes, insufficient - specifically citing three particular items - not that she is a “raging right-wing reprobate”.
 
ROFL, @dvdjs and @LeafByNiggle
You’ve repeatedly sidestepped the central issue her, trying to minimize and deflect.

Why do modern liberals push the ‘cancel culture’, this was just another example of that cancer.

They don’t. The “central issue” as raised by the OP is that a certain faction within the party wants to censure another member of the party. What’s to “address”?

In the meantime, it is appropriate to point out when someone is addressing it incorrectly, as in the americanthinker headline.

No. The problem is that that discussionof this story in, for example, The American Thinker, which was though worthy of linking here, was classic FAKE. As to h=wherhter or not the Progressive caucus will ever persuade the Democratic of Arizona to take an action against Sinema remains, in fact, to be seen - however much polemicists might like to fantasize about ti.

Yang: ‘Cancel culture’ has become source of ‘fear’ for Americans

Nice comments by Yang, one of those Democrats and liberals, on epistemic charity. Good for him.
It is an odd stretch, however, to take this =into the realm of political candidates. We are supposed to seek and be given a sufficient understanding of their thinking to inform choices, then to make.

An informed choice not to oppose a candidate is a far cry from calling to fire an actor or cancel a show because of a dumb remark by a celebrity.

I see you know this tune,
I guess one of the benefits of being an academic?
It’s the latest dance, the best in town: /
Grab a word like “epistemic”, then add a noun /
Like “angst” or “insouciance” or “indulgence” or “greed” /
If you want a paper topic that’s all you need!

Brown University philosophers [Nomy Arpaly] [Jamie Dreier], and [David Estlund]) wrote new lyrics to the tune of “Mambo No. 5” (the Lou Bega version), turning it into a song—“Epistemic Epidemic”—about the popularity of epistemic topics in philosophy.
