Krysten Sinema switching to Independent

- Start date
Sinema like politicians are the reason why the country is in the shitter. Too many of our Representatives only care about the people/corporations/super pacs who write the big checks.
I actually don’t care that Sinema bucks the party. I just think she craves attention. She’s the Democrat version of Tulsi Gabbard.
Yeah, pretty much you are the one driving that narrative just so you can go all TJ.
She's been reliably supportive, but she has made some curious stances. It isn't HROT that is presenting a problem to her political future, in case you didn't notice. You conveniently forget the values and priorities she espoused on the state level, and when running for the Senate. She is unpopular at home because she's pissing off the people who gave her a start in politics, and the people who put her in the Senate. But, yeah, you skewered the Libs.
You're singing the praises of Sinema while also complaining that all of our politicians are bought. That's the definition of irony.
They are all bought, but at least she doesn’t vote lockstep with her party. If she sees a problem, like the “Inflation reduction act” before it was reworked, she’ll say something.
Who is your example of a better politician?
I’ll ask you the same question: Who do you look to as a better politician?
I think I just said her voting history doesn’t bother me.
In terms of seriousness, there are countless others who do their work quietly without seeking the spotlight like she does. And negotiate in good faith and don’t play hide the ball on their negotiating positions. Those are the ones I prefer.
Yep, it was mostly procedural as some didn't want the increase attached to COVID relief package. But the curtsy stunt didn't win her any friends.
And what do you mean 'kinda sexy'? I had a meeting in her office when her hair was blue. It was um...distracting. 😍
She came in an ultra progressive and now she's voting down minimum wage increases. That's not independence. That's subservience.
LOL. She has been a complete prima donna, holding up and outright crashing key components of the Democratic party agenda. There might be more corrupt grifting corporate Democrats in the Senate, but Sinema appears to take pleasure in making a spectacle of herself in opposing broadly supported Democratic policy priorities (see the thumbs down on the minimum wage increase as one obvious example),
Good riddance to her in 24.
Prescription drugs is one obvious example. And along with Manchin, she strung Build Back Better along for forever with ongoing and ever changing demands. Again, Sinema appears to take pleasure in throwing a wrench into the gears of Democratic party policy priorities.
If the D’s want to lose the seat to a Republican they will…split the D leaning voters between Sinema and the D candidate? Beyond stupid.
Yep, she run as an independent in the general like Trump will. And the Republican will win the seat.
That’s why she registered independent….to keep from getting primary’d.
He won’t get it. The republican will.Says she doesn’t fit with either party, but still wants her committee assignments so I guess that means caucusing with the Democrats.
The real reason: she knows Ruben Gallego is coming for her seat in ‘24.
Kyrsten Sinema Says She Will Leave the Democratic Party
The Arizona senator is registering as an independent, noting that she “never fit perfectly in either national party.”www.nytimes.com
Someone explain how by announcing she is now independent, that she will vote any different than before
I wish there was more independent candidates. Blindly siding with a party is moronic. Especially with the us versus them bullshit that exists in this country
I want ideas and plans that appeal to me. Not a bunch jerkoffs voting for things that other jerkoffs that also have a R or D by their name tell them to
F—k Rs and Ds

They'll see if they can keep her off the ballot.
How difficult is it to get on the ballot as an indie in AZ?
Sinema has plenty of time.
She should work out a sponsorship deal with Cinnabon.
She’s become the devil to you guys. I will vote for her over the Dem and Republican candidates. Unless, you leave $1,000,000 in unmarked bills near the old oak tree of my choosing.They'll see if they can keep her off the ballot.

Seriously. Get a life you unwavering haters.
Yep, going to the highest bidder is not a winning hand in the long run. This will come back to bite her in the arse.
And didn’t vote for that bloated legislation you thought would save the country.

I believe already noted: she just doesn't want to get "primaried" in the next election cycle.
