Ruben Gallego seems formidable.

She's not going to caucus with Republicans; her abortion and judge/justice votes would make her anathema anyway. This is a 2024 flex.

Some partisans believe they own this Senate seat.  

They don’t.  

This Senate seat doesn’t belong to Democratic or Republican bosses in Washington.  

It doesn’t belong to one party or the other, and it doesn’t belong to me.  

It belongs to Arizona, which is far too special a place to be defined by extreme partisans and ideologues.

fuckin' partisans. they think just because you ran as a Democrat and received all the advantages that the party gave you, that they can expect you to stay in that party for a whole term.

2024 as in re-election or 2024 as in running for president? is she that deluded?

I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Friday, 9 December 2022 15:15 (one year ago) link

she just trying to avoid the dem primary thinking she can still win the general or at least intimidate dems with the prospect of splitting the vote, the only problem with this strategy is absolutely everyone hates her, shell prob end up not running at all or drop out so early due to lack of support its effectually the same

you cant be like this and expect people to support you

A friend is a big Sinema supporter, someone she knows by name. They ran into each other at an event & after warm greetings this person asked “I wanna be helpful, what can I tell my people when they complain about what’s going on?” Sinema smiled and said “tell them to fuck off.”

yeah, it's almost like an experiment to build the most repellent brand possible

based on her extremely alienating behavior i figured she must be planning on retiring to a cushy life of corporate kickbacks but no turns out shes just delusional

now sinema has free reign to play cards against humanity and do burlesque

— BrooklynGrad_Defiant! (@boomer_humor) December 9, 2022

It's so crazy that Kyrsten Sinema is a senator when she would be soooo much happier running a burlesque-themed knitting store that also sells those retro signs of housewives saying things like "I'm not a bitch, I just play one in your life."

Sinema's is going to be a really fascinating and satisfying downward spiral to witness.

its pretty funny that you can trace this genius political idea that theres some special huge desire for a brave independent politician in arizona back to the completely made up media idea that john mccain was a brave independent

lag∞n, Friday, 9 December 2022 15:55 (one year ago) link

even Joe L. waited until he lost the Dem nomination to go independent and claim that the party was too extreme for him now. Sinema is just like "not feelin' it."

shes clearly had this plan for a while lol but has confused only wanting to hang out with corporate donors with being the brave free thinker

lag∞n, Friday, 9 December 2022 16:01 (one year ago) link

on the bright side she seems to legitimately hate talking to the press or people in general, so it's likely we won't be seeing her with a tv show or something

The Beatles were the first to popularize wokeism (President Keyes), Friday, 9 December 2022 16:03 (one year ago) link

also she was obv hoping the georgia runoff would go the other way so she could be the center of attention oh well

lag∞n, Friday, 9 December 2022 16:05 (one year ago) link

the only problem with this strategy is absolutely everyone hates her

If times and circumstances weren’t so dire, I would wish her eventual Republican challenger all the luck.

From earlier this year:

Sinema believes she will be running to President in 2024 I am told. This self-styled bipartisanship she believes she speaks for, will be her brand to run as the candidate in the middle. Not far-left of far-right. She has convinced herself this is her calling and she has it.

after she finishes 5th in the primaries, she will join Tulsi's show

seems a little high

lag∞n, Friday, 9 December 2022 16:52 (one year ago) link

oh wait, she's going to run independent, what fucking primary lol

Fash Gordon (Neanderthal), Friday, 9 December 2022 16:54 (one year ago) link

would think shell prob still run as a dem if she goes for pres but who knows the idea is so bad already maybe shes convinced she can win as an independent

lag∞n, Friday, 9 December 2022 16:56 (one year ago) link

Sinema would make a lot more sense if it were purely a Tulsi-like grift. The fact that she seems to think she can become President while not making a single voter like her is a sign of something off.

I mean I know Bernie did that, but it's easier to do when you've always been an Independent and need to run as a Democrat out of necessity than when you purposefully took a shit on the party and expect them to carry your water 2 years later.

in any case i can't wait to watch that dumpster fire

she seems to think she can become President

she couldn't be that delusional, could she? seems more likely to me she imagines this is the way to recapture being 'the most important person in the room' and believes that Arizonans appreciate 'mavericks', when in reality almost everyone can see that her maverick pose is just an infantile contrarianism and she can only 'dominate the room' by throwing loud tantrums.

centrist, third way thinking is the religion of op-ed writers and lobbyists. they are always looking for a champion.

I’m let’s be clear, after Trump’s presidency we should all feel emboldened to throw our hats in the ring because there seem to be absolutely no qualifications for the job beyond “be born here” and “be at least 35”

even with the Morning Joe crowd she's become the butt of jokes, so I wonder who'd be her constituency besides Big Pharm.
