Say what you will about Sinema. She was effective as a bridge, and I don’t know which Democrats are going to be that liaison to getting things done once her and Manchin leave next year.

Utter nonsense.

Almost every single Democratic senator is willing to or has sponsored bipartisan bills with republicans, usually far right Republicans, even ones you would call far left like Elizabeth Warren. Almost every Democrat was on record willing to support every right wing immigration "reform" bill in the last 20 years, only for Republicans to play politics at the last second and sink their own bills.

The intelligent question to be asking yourself is what Republicans are left who are willing to compromise in good faith?

What a shame that one of the most effective, bipartisan, and hardworking, no-nonsense Senators I have EVER seen was forced out due to hyperpartisanship. No one has had a more successful one-term Senate career IMO. She is an absolutely brilliant legislator and was extremely instrumental in bringing people from all sides of the political spectrum together to pass good, longstanding legislation.

I had a feeling this was coming, but it's devastating nonetheless. When she won in 2018 I envisioned a long career as a leading Senate moderate for her, which was perfect for a purple state like Arizona. Instead, the leftist activists and their damn purity tests decided she wasn't good enough.

I hope she runs for President under No Labels or for Governor of AZ one day.

Enjoy Senator Kari Lake, y'all. Sinema woud've won easily if Gallego didn't get in.

Can't take the blue out of the blue av!

BTW, Sinema also torched a possible lobbying career. What good are you to a lobbying firm if every one of your soon-to-be-former colleagues hates you?

I think this is satire but just in case, Sinema was 3rd place in every single poll. She was losing a lot. This is why she decided not to run

She knew she would lose the Democratic nomination, so she went independent hoping to win as a third party in the general. Than she realized there was no magical center to elect her as an independent senator. So she is dropping out, she doesn't want to give Dems the satisfaction of removing her. To spite them

My point is Sinema would've won a Sinema vs. Lake race, but Gallego just HAD to get in there and challenge her.

He had to get there and challenge a senator whose approval ratings were in the 30s and had managed to alienate every single constituency.

Huh? If Gallego was beating Sinema in hypothetically Democratic primary polls, why would he not get in the race? This is a stupid take

Also, I think a non-socialist broom would defeat Kari Lake. There is no reason for Democrats to kiss Sinema's ass and accept her constant grandstanding instead of getting someone they actually want and supports their agenda in office.

And Gallego will beat Lake too meaning the seat flips from Republican (Sinema) to Democrat (Gallego).

I can't tell if your trolling. But if a primary challenger automatically means you lose, than you don't deserve to be the party's nominee

Sinema was a good senator. She stood up for the institution of the Senate and for measured policy and gave needed votes to Biden's judicial nominees and most of his general policies.
She will be missed.

Parts of BBB not passing was a benefit to us in the long term actually. Though I don't think 100% of what Sinema did was necessary, I wouldn't go that far.

Unsurprising, but glad he wasted no time. Kelly will be one of Gallego's biggest assets this fall

What an idiotic thing to say towards a fellow sitting senator. Bernie Sanders is a garbage human. Remind me again how much legislation he's been instrumental in passing?

You think Bernie caused more harm to America than Ron DeSantis. You don't get to discuss Dem politics.

If Biden was any weaker on Israel, he would be attacked relentlessly by the right in the same way they are attacking him for being weak on other foreign policy / border issues. He would lose far more people than just super online leftists who have their heads too far up their own a$$es to understand the gravity of a second Trump term.

But seriously, I'd like to give a sincere middle finger to Bernie, who continues to do more damage to our country than anyone other than Trump himself. Bernie needs to retire and be shunned from politics forever. He is absolutely one of the worst politicians in American history and words cannot describe just how much I loathe him.
