"Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, an Arizona independent, announced Tuesday she will retire at the end of her term this year.
She blamed growing partisanship and mudslinging in Washington for driving her decision to not run for reelection, only a few weeks after the Senate rejected the bipartisan, negotiated compromise on immigration policy that she had worked on for months.
"Because I choose civility, understanding, listening, working together to get stuff done, I will leave the Senate at the end of this year," she said in a video Tuesday.
I believe in my approach, but its not what America wants right now, Sinema continued. Despite modernizing our infrastructure, ensuring clean water, delivering good jobs and safer communities, Americans still choose to retreat farther to their partisan corners.
Its all or nothing, the outcome less important than beating the other guy, she added. Compromise is a dirty word.

So she's not going to be a spoiler for Gallego v Lake, sounds like we need more more partisanship and mudslinging if it gets rid of sacks of shit like her.

I don't know... Sure, she obstructed like a champ, but she also didn't really get anything done for her corporate sponsors, and ended up getting both Dems AND Republicans to hate her. And she was only there on term, hardly much time to make illicit connections.
I don't see her getting a Fox/OAN tv deal or sweet lobbying gig. I think it's quite possible she goes out with a whimper and nothing to show for it.

Every AZ state poll and my assumption internal polling showed her losing badly to Gallego and Lake in a 3 way race. While still losing in a head to head against one or the other.

She really burnt her bridges with the AZ state Democrat party to the point that more Democrats in AZ despise more her than Republicans. Which is even more hilarious in hindsight due to just strong the AZ state party has become in such a short time.

She can fuck right off and disappear. I guarantee she'll end up a commentator on some Fox News program though.

Also, yeah compromise is a dirty word when the people you want to compromise with are fascists.

Unfortunately, Manchin was the best we could get in a place like West Virginia. Anyone even a smidge left of Manchin had no shot of winning.

Arizona is all blue for now b/c Republicans went super hard right and insulted McCain. But it is still very much a moderate/purple state.
So don't have unrealistic expectations if you want to keep that Senate seat. Fight for leftists in solidly blue states if you want more of them.

I'm sure this warning will fall on deaf ears, though.

She kept a Republican out of the Senate and kicked off the recent trend of republicans losing statewide elections in AZ. So it wasnt all bad.

No you chose lying, you lying t***.

You ran as a democrat and then flipped, and then you ignored your voters rightly calling your lying t*** ass out for it.

Her pivot from lefty activist to centrist asshole was unexpected. Before she became Senator, Arizonans that worked with her thought very highly of her. I know she was active in her community and getting things done to help her constituents.
