Charlotte Clymer

Kyrsten Sinema has been planning this move for years. She’s been openly moving toward this with every hypocritical, self-serving move she’s made. This has been the most cynical marketing effort in American politics and the worst kept secret in D.C.

She hasn’t been a Democrat for years but even “independent” is inaccurate. That word suggests an openness. Sinema’s true political affiliation is herself. Her own narcissism is her political party. Her entire platform is her self-preservation.

@Fzr600 @charlotteclymer but she was not always this way. She was an awesome state-level player. She and Katie Hobbs were both my state rep/senator. I can't imagine the two even communicate at all these days.

I don't think she even has a hope of winning as an independent. Her play is to split the Democratic vote.

@moliver @charlotteclymer - MY strong guess is that Sinema is smart enough to know she has no chance of winning in 2024, as Dem, as Independent, or as GOP. I' think she will just fade out of politics.. Why leave Dem Party? My guess is that she is just tired of being criticized for doing what she sincerely believes is right.

@charlotteclymer Kyrsten Sinema is up for re-election in 2024. Two years that the Arizona Democratic Party has to prepare. One, they must block her from copying Bernie’s scam of running as a Dem to do away with viable competition and to soak up party funding. Two, find a strong Democratic candidate. I’d take a look at state house rep Alma Hernandez.
In any case, Arizona needs to start the process to get rid of Sinema NOW!

@Blueskyfox @charlotteclymer I think it's a little hostile to call Bernie Sanders' practice a "scam". He reliably caucuses with the Democrats and when he diverges, it's usually an obvious moral stand. Sinema has been years of uncooperative-for-the-sake-of-uncooperative.

This is just her way of saying "I know I'm being primaried and have no chance of arguing my resume to a Democratic audience, so let me hope I can play better in the general."

Show threadParanoid FactoidDec 9, 2022

@charlotteclymer

The question here is, what do Dems do?

I don't mean here, because that's baked in and nothing anyone can do about it. Warnock's win helps and still retains the majority. Unless Manchin bolts too. Which is not an impossible outcome.

So Dems still need to play nice with Sinema and Manchin. Also, 2024 is going to have a lot of Dems on ticket. Dems want to retain that majority. Preferably even increase it.

So, as angry at Sinema as we all might be, she still has leverage.

@charlotteclymer What she did was fraudulent and unfortunately there is no "rule" preventing it. If it had been a Republican defecting from the party, the Republicans would have gotten the matter referred to the Supreme Court. The gang of five justices would have granted relief.
