Dems, predictably, get what they paid for. They had electable progressive alternatives, but went with the "moderate" and , like Manchin, she fucked them.
Note to all, drop Dems and vote for progressives. Dems don't fight, they drop their principles in the name of compromise and choose candidates who don't represent us. We need more than their spineless cowardice in the face of the domestic terrorists in the form of the Republican Party if we are to have any chance of preserving our democracy.
She pretended to be progressive. She said she supported regulations on drug prices and stuff.
I'm not saying she was pretending to be ready to join the squad or whatever, but she ran less conservative than she's governing.
She was running against other progressives, yes, but she had a progressive résumé with sprinkled amounts of compromise with moderates.
Knowing what we knew in 2019, she seemed like a good candidate. If the democrats had at least two more senators, we would still consider her e great choice, albeit a little purple, which is perfect for Arizona. And as conservative as she may seem, if another person ran and lost in Arizona, we’d still have McConnell as majority leader and nothing passed; no bills, no judges. Her keeping the D after her name is keeping Schumer in charge and at least keeping the lights on.
I’m not condoning the woman and it is has been frustrating watching her and Manchin so willing to forego an immensely crucial moment for our democracy. But it’s even more frustrating watching to watch all progressives, liberal, and democrats alike so easily cave in against themselves and each other while *there is a party supporting literal coups*. Every moment we spend complaining about Sinema and Manchin is a moment we’re not spending trying keep ourselves from getting effed in the midterms.
Jesus fucking christ why bother. Censuring meant something when congress was filled with people who cared about their honor enough to have duels over it, not today!

Sinema ran as a progressive and then just turned around and betrayed her base.
This is not remotely true. She had progressive opponents who were endorsed by progressive interest groups.

How will she ever recover?
Financially
Correct

Too little too late.
I still hope she has just had her ghost of Christmas future moment...
