Kristen Sinema switches from Democrat to Independent, Changing Up Majority Democrat Senate

[Yzak]

Sinema switches to independent, shaking up the Senate

The Arizona senator won't say whether she's running for reelection but said in an interview she doesn't expect a change in how the Senate operates.

www.politico.com

Right after Warnock defeated Walker and made Dems 51-49 in Senate





Current theory is that she's doing this so Democrats have a harder time getting rid of her in AZ. If they run someone against her, itll be D, then Sinema, then R, and split the vote and give it over to a republican. Basically she's saying it's me or give AZ to the republicans.

Vile human

The Democrats are doing this on purpose lol

Damn,…bytch will peel away Dem votes.

If I were head of the AZ DNC, I'd be willing to take that risk. She can't be that popular where folks would be forced to make a decision. Either that or focus my efforts on another seat. I'd go out of my way to make sure she's a do nothing politician (not like that's hard) and her record reflected that.

They should see if they can get a recall vote going. Get her the fukk outta here now.

She is a republican so it don’t matter …. Her career as a politician is over…I also don’t think she’s going to split the Dems to the degree people think …nobody likes her ..those likeability ratings i believe would be even lower if she didn’t have a D next to her name which she now doesn't …she doesn’t have a group of constituents rocking with her that she’s taking along the way

Yeah, the bolded is an overlooked fact. Just about NO ONE likes her out here. She's too much of a roadblock for Democrats to like her, and voting along with anything Biden approves of gets you the automatic "THEY JUST VOTE FOR BIDEN'S RADICAL AGENDA" tag that the Republicans love to hate.

Knowing that the worst case scenario is a very real possibility, this dumbass might make the rare move to run for Governor after having been a Senator.

This is the double agent I'm talking about. Why can't democrats do that with Republicans? Why is it always Republicans who run their agents in? They did it with lieberman a few years back too.

To do exactly what is stated. Be the fall guy for people not knowing politics, and when nothing gets done you can use that as an extra excuse when most folks don’t realize the senate is at a stalemate anyways if you don’t also have the house

That doesn't make any sense. She doesn't need to change parties to be a 'fall guy.' Anybody who cares already knows exactly was Sinema is about, and it's not like she was entirely on board with the Dem agenda even when she was one.

You think the majority of folks know who she is or what state she reps?

You realize that by your own logic, it makes no sense for her to change parties to be the 'fall guy'? If the majority don't know who she is, they're not gonna know or care about any of this.

And anybody who does know who she is already knows what she's about, so there's no reason to do this at all.

 

[itsyoung!!]

How many people voted for Sinema because they wanted to vote Democrat?

You dont see anything wrong with that?

 

[itsyoung!!]

And these hoe ass nikkas are in here applauding lol

It’s literally the 3rd and 4th post in this thread. The fukk ?

 

[Reflected]

I swear this is a simulation

 

[CrimsonTider]

That bytch is smart! She knows she’s gonna face a primary challenger next election and more than likely lose that primary. This bullshyt stunt effectively squashes that, now she can play spoiler and siphon off enough votes and get the republican’s that seat back. A big fat fukk You to the dem party on her way out.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Manchin one ups her and announces he’s switching parties and caucusing with the Republicans.

Why would Manchin do this?

Breaking: the Dems don’t actually want to pass anything extreme they push for in elections, so even if they had the house this was the endgame so they could still not pass anything and they will point to this as the reason why

What have Dems pushed for that they haven’t tried to pass?
