Her final fuck you, to Democrats.

Also, I feel like this should be illegal. Voters elected her to be a Democrat. This a betrayal of the people who chose her for specific reasons. She never told them she would switch her party

Yeah, there should at least have to be a special election if you do this.

As long as she continues to pursue the goals that she ran her candidacy under, its fine. If she completely changes her tune for entire philosophies, then its an issue.

She was never consistently Democrat, she was a failure almost immediately after we elected her. She and Manchin were both mistakes, actively thwarting the party they claimed.

I assume Sinema thinks this will somehow pull more Rep voters to support her, but she also does not have enough Dem support to get her elected as an Independent in AZ. Good riddance to her.

Maybe the Dem party will be a little more diligent in selecting their candidate next time.

Im now expecting Manchin to switch parties and become a Republican.
The line he takes is really fucking annoying but makes sense considering he represents West Virginia. Sinema is a purple state senator who in no way represents the platform she campaigned for. Totally different situations

You are never getting any other Democrat elected to senate in WV besides Manchin, while Sinema is very much replaceable. In fact that is why she is making this move to begin with, to threaten Dems that she will act as a spoiler candidate if they try to oust her the next time her seat is up.

It's almost like you shouldn't be voting for people just because of the color hat they wear. I don't know who this woman is and I'm sure she's full of shit but that's the whole problem with bipartisan politics to begin with.

20 years ago you would be right. However in 2022,everyone should vote based on party. We are in a ideological battle for America. When 1 party wants to destroy democracy, you don't have the luxury of voting independent

This might apply if she hadn't straight-up lied when she was running to be elected. She didn't get elected *just* because she's a Democrat.

Sinema told Politico she will not caucus with Republicans. She also said she won't attend weekly Democratic Caucus meetings, but rarely does that now.

Her lying is literally the only reason she's in the Senate right now. It's absolutely not a separate issue here.

It's not like she was like this when she was running for election in the first place and people just went "Well she's running as a Democrat so we'll have to vote for her regardless!". She lied to the party and lied to the people who ended up voting for her.
