Good. We need more Independents and fewer congresspeople tied to one of the two major parties.

Our entire political party system is broken.

The GOP will put up a MAGA candidate in 2024 and that person will get 35% of the vote in a general election. That leaves 65% to split between Dem Gallego and Ind. Sinema. Gallego will get at least 40%

The math doesn’t work for Independent Sinema in the 2024 General Election. Shes appealing to disaffected non-MAGA Republicans and there are not enough of them to win.

Yeah. Progressives backed her strongly in 2018. She spent 6 years ignoring them, not out of principle but to build her own profile and power. She could have chosen to behave like a moderate Democrat and maintain strong relationships with progressives. For an example, she needed to look no further than Mark Kelly, for god’s sake. But she chose not to.

Why does he expect democrats to not field a candidate? Do the Arizona state party rules even allow for that?

Democrats just did this in Utah for Evan McMullin and did it in Alaska in 2020.

Al Gross was on the democrat's primary ballot- Alaska is a weird state

Democrats in Utah voted to not have a nominee at their convention. Arizona democrats hate Sinema now- why would they defer to her like that?

They won’t. They’ve already made that clear.

She has not confirmed that.

I wish more politicians, both Democrats & Republican, would do this!

Women would not run as Democrat, tank progessive bills which are popular in AZ and in the country and then declare yourself independent when her popularity i the state tanks. A woman of integrity would resign and run as a independent in 2024.

Yes, she basically has confirmed it. And Schumer has confirmed that she will keep her committee assignments, and the White House has affirmed that they will continue to work with her.

She criticized Joe Lieberman for this lol.

It’s not about “integrity.”

People grow and change.

Yup, she grew and became dishonest corporate shill.

So, all this is kind of a nothing burger.

I'm sick of people who don't realize that the most important votes that congressmen cast is for speaker.

People voted for her with a D by her name.

I don't even see the disaffected non-MAGA republicans voting for her. She's basically adopted the most unpopular positions from each party. She's all in on the left wing social stuff that republicans and independents hate, and also all in on the plutocratic low tax/ kill the safety net agenda that democrats and independents hate. She would finish a very distant third place in a three-way race.

She's proof that fiscally conservative/socially liberal isn't as popular as people think

Come January, Biden needs to offer her a plum job in the administration and let Hobbs pick a replacement.

Because she holds liberal political positions. What about her says "Republican" to you?

Aren’t all the sometimes pink- haired bisexuals Republican?
