“Well, it amuses me to hold the entire US Senate hostage, and this seemed like a good way to keep doing that”
Own the libs amirite?
This solidifies her Senate vote is for sale. Lobbyist will name their price.
*Too bad no one could stop The Moles that the Republicans placed within the Democrat Party **_(Joe Manchin & Krysten Sinema)._* 🤬🙃
#WTF 💔🇺🇸
*#StayHealthyYaLL* 🌐😘😷💙
this, right here👆👆👆
My heart goes to the entire community for Amazons AMA3X building up something even my grandpa can understand. This is so smart by them to launch it to shatter the doubts and fears of the common folk which is not even correct to begin with. Everyone knows the state of inflation and recession now and the way out is already in progress. Now it’s just about catching the big fish
1 thousand morons agree with you
Her handlers have no more use for her.
Words beside each other in succession do not make statements that are comprehensible. That fact that your total nonsense has 1.1 thousand upvotes in 1 hour tells me you’re either a bot or I’m not brain damaged enough to understand wtf you wrote.
The way out?
So you have no clue what caused it.
interesting.
When you get your facts straight.
come back and post.
Right now. you are in the dark so bad it’s scary.
I’ll give you a hint.
The democrats didn’t cause it
To some extent the republicans did. Mostly Trump. but the real culprit is actually the germ.
Do a little research and find the real reasons we and everyone else in the world are in this mess.
Believing the garbage you clearly believe. Frightening that you are that easily manipulated. Just frightening.
Don’t trust either party.
Neither puts flag first.
Right now, today there is an extremely good argument that the republicans are actively working to cause the nation harm. Certainly out to weaken it’s defenses.
Just face the facts of things. and vote accordingly like the rest of us.
The GOP should have a 60 plus seat advantage. and have the senate.
They don’t
The reason.
We are keeping the garbage out of office. We … the red voters. TRUE PATRIOTS. You can get our vote back. IF YOU CAN SHOW US WHAT WE WANT TO SEE.
When you can’t win elections. Then all you have left. Is deflect and pivot. I guess you didn’t hear the voters last mouth sending you a message. The people have spoke. Democracy is more important than your issues. Your presidential candidate didn’t win a second term either.
This could become the new GOP playbook. Run Republicans as Democrats in Democrat districts/areas, get elected as a Democrat and once in office vote republican. AZ should recall her.
@hebe Dabber That would depend. Most of their demonstrations are peaceful. I would highly recommend they go start a parade with a legal petition at the end. Line up, demonstrate, sign it, go home. I know a great way to stop BLM, STOP MURDERING UNARMED PEOPLE. They will also be likely targets from people like Kyle Rittenhouse.
@Timothy Lopez you sound stable
@Ma Ri Yes she may lose it to a GOP challenger that isn’t supported by Trump. She blew out her progressive challenger in her primary. The majority of registered AZ voters are independents, followed Reps then Dems. The reason she won over McSally is by attracting independent centrist voters.
@Atrail McKinley But they can be Expelled by the Senate. Or House for Representatives.
@Timothy Lopez I don’t care what side to the lunatic political coin a militia is. You should add Grandmaster Jay NFAC militia to the list, he said he was going to burn down Louisville if he didn’t get his way. Militia should be regulated, trained and inspected by the states. They give gun ownership a bad rap and likely couldn’t do any fighting without some insulin or a candy bar.
She’s doing it to look out for herself! I hope she loses her seat in 2024
She is guaranteed to lose, so she will not run again.
She will lose to Ruben Gallego.
She will not
My taxes are done being LIED to. At least half the government needs to get out and find a REAL USEFUL PRODUCT/JOB that American citizens don’t have to be THREATENED to buy. Time for American citizens to start voting once a month on our cell phones and get rid of these political tax leeches. If the lobbyist need someone to bribe they can bribe the American citizens.
@Antonjlavey She definitely will, Her career is OOVVVEERRR.
This comes as no surprise. The timing of her decision is deliberate, intentional, strategic and crafty. It wasn’t about the people of Arizona and what they wanted. She’s selfish, spiteful and once again proving where her loyalty lies.👀👀
@Diane Bannister That means Liz Cheney had no regard for the Constitution and believed those who were simply accused of Terrorism deserve no rights and attacked public officials who were actually doing what our democracy allows which is defend unpopular suspects and allow innocence until proven guilty. She literally attacked multiple constitutional rights with that ad.
@I CAUSED BIDENFLATION of course you would. She doesn’t stand for anything except her corporate donors. Sounds a lot like MAGATS LIKE YOU
@I CAUSED BIDENFLATION PS. Biden didn’t cause the inflation. In fact the whole World has high inflation so is Biden the President ofbthe whole world? Didn’t think so.
@Ow3 Wells I think it’s pretty clear the little hats have been called out quite vividly. They’ve literally proved everyone’s criticisms to be pure fact over the past month or so, now haven’t they. Sit it on down shitter.
@Prophet 👈🏼 Disinformation pusher
I’m glad to see the wolf in sheep’s clothing gone will not have to give her any more DNC money. Took that bag four years ago, knowing her plans were always to do this.
Money Money Money Greed, corruption what else if she is an independent why didn’t she run as such from the beginning, like I said greed “corporations money.
Sinema was gonna have a rough time getting re-elected regardless of her party affiliation. This decision by her was made purely so she wouldn’t risk getting primaried. The real question is how many Independent voters she’ll get in 2024
@Lesco Brandon if you hit that Google application on your cellular phone you can type in questions. It’s amazing.
@Meton2526 No you will vote for your parties Republican nominee once it becomes obvious she can’t win.
@Steven Jay You have no idea what you’re talking about or just a everyday disinformation pusher
No the point is that she wanted to take away votes from the Democrats and she won.
Sinema keeps showing who she is she claims she working for her Arizona but she worry about next election switch party hopefully won’t make a difference she worse ever Senate she lying to Arizona citizens vote for some who won’t jump ship for their own benefits 2024
Sinema: ever the wet blanket. She’s been sabotaging the Democrats since she’s been in the Senate.
Exactly
AGREED
She’s voted with them 97% of the time. She’s pure Democrat, She’s just changed her title for reelection.
Honestly, it doesn’t sound like a loss. The Democrats never actually had her to begin with.
@Disgruntled Veteran her vote doesn’t matter at all. All she does (if she votes against the democrats and herself) is make kamala fly to D.C. for a formality vote. 🤷♂️
And $h!t take by the bald idiot
She’s still effectively a blue seat, she’s just been harder to control for the Democrat establishment. The DNC wanted her gone solely because of that reason, but by going independent and splitting the blue vote in Arizona, she removes the Democrat party’s ability to remove her in a primary.
@lazymansload why would she vote for a child sniffer and a criminal.
@lazymansload you said “they never had her to begin with.” I’m saying sinema literally voted lock step with a generic democrat. Who knows if she will actually move to the center or caucus with republicans or whatever. My point is people act like she was a massive traitor to the democrats when she is no more “conservative” or anti Biden if you will than someone like Jacky Rosen. Did the democrats never have Rosen? Yet only sinema gets this song and dance (I guess Machin too) because not supporting literally one bill makes you a traitor
@Imlandorith and yet she is more loyal to Biden than Jacky Rosen or Cortez masto
This was exactly why we needed to win every toss up senate seat in the midterms! We would have avoided this had we also won Wisconsin and North Carolina!
*Losing Tim Ryan was Fuq-dup.*
JD Vance #WTF 🇺🇸🤦🏽♂️
If Dems are EVER going to bring real freedom and real democracy to the American people, they are going to have to stoop to using FOX propaganda techniques that actually work, bypassing the rational brain and going straight to the emotion/fear/rage centers…with truth instead of lies. Emotion beats reason and logic EVERY SINGLE TIME.
who is we, we the union, we the confederates, we the Nazis?
She was never a Democrat to begin with. She’s always looked out for herself above all else, just like Manchin.
The fact that she says she’s focused on her constituents is laughable, especially considering Arizona’s notable shift towards Democrats…
I WILL agree with the notion that more and more of the country are going from R and D towards I. More and more have been adopting self-interest and selfish mentalities rather than helping each other.
“Narrow-minded self-interest doesn’t impress me.”
– George Carlin
so becoming an independent is adopting self-interests and selfish mentalities? i guess not seeing eye to eye on issues is selfish in your eyes. so much for the party of acceptance 😂
The US could do with at least one or two more political parties, mate. As for the self-interest issue, you have Ayn Rand to thank for that…
Manchin is taken care of the coal miners in his state. He stands for his state. Sinema stands for herself. She is worthless for any party.
Wow how dishonest can she be… She’s never really been a Demacrat.. She worked with Ralph NADER and the GREEN PARTY before she got elected to her seat as a Democrat… Now she’s claiming to be an INDEPENDENT… Watch in 2 years she’ll still be playing for the REPUBLICANS OBSTUTIONIST AGENDA.. maybe she’ll actually claim to be what we all see her as…
A TWO FACED SHILL FOR THE REPUBLICANS.
Verifiably false, but you do you.
She’s done absolutely nothing for Arizona but she’s done a lot to fill her pockets.
@Satisfaction Guaranteed If that was true she would not have left the party
That’s what politicians do!
@NJ SS she was also a massive roadblock for much of Biden’s agenda as well, along with Manchin. At one point, I wondered whether both senators were actually GOP plants in the Dem party.
Sinema may have a reasonably consistent voting record, but she’s also very opaque and her conduct suggests she’s more beholden to her donors and is well-aware of the power and value of her vote, as opposed to actually working to help improve the lives of everyday Americans in her state and beyond, as well as helping to reform Senate procedure, like the filibuster.
@Lupe Diazlmao do you think lobbyists and donors are a party issue? god you are naive, both parties are open to corruption.
@jambo2685 I share your concerns about her lack of transparency. However, well I do not entirely agree, her reasons for keeping the filibuster are logical. While eliminating the filibuster would help Democrats at the moment, the moment Republicans regain control of the Senate, which will happen eventually, they can undo anything Democrats have done immediately and institute even worse policies. From her perspective, she has had to work almost her entire career in the minority and she views the filibuster as a tool to preserve the minority’s relevance
I truly hope the party and the individual donors, large and small, find a loophole so they can bring criminal charges against her for fraud.
It doesn’t work that way and would actually be counter-productive. It’s no big deal. She’ll be gone in 2 years anyway.
okay groomer
Never happen. Look at all the other politicians that have done way worse and they will never be held accountable. Long list Trump, Clinton, Biden, on and on.
Sinema is focused on the needs of her donors only.
She’s for sale = those are her “values.”
Isn’t that every politician?
Why would her changing to an “independent” be positive for her donors? Please elaborate
Sinema definitely puts the “I” in Independent. All she cares about is herself.
@BP not a US citizen but pretty sure all conservatives voted against poor people ( the majority of US population given the corruption from rich males) and women rights Bill each time.
@BP 🤣🤣🤣🤣 think you mean Trump who ALWAYS cares only about himself
@Valdestot’s Voice Such a bad and shallow take. If Trump only cared about himself he wouldn’t have ran for office, there was no incentive to. He’d be much personally better off if he retired a billionaire and lived the rest of his days in Mar-A-Lago.
@BP Back to your GQP safe space, little one. The adults are talking here.
@Imlandorith Still believe that lie? How dense are you?
She should have made this announcement before the election
Can anyone from Arizona confirm she’s actually doing what’s best for you?
She has a 19% approval rating amongst democrats, according to alex wagner tonight msnbc
https://youtu.be/-PGSIXiswkc
How ironic of her to say that she wants to “get results” and to “get things done”, when she’s been one of the most obstructionist senators out there.
Yeah…….if you’re an ignorant liberal stooge.
It’s entirely about avoiding a primary that she knows she cannot win, nothing more.
