- Thread starter evince
- Start date
No, evince, Bernie will never become a Democrat and at the juncture, the party needs him, more than he needs the party.

You really think Sinema will vote against the Dems judicial appointments? That's all we need her for. King and Bernie, both "I's", caucus with the dems.

Provided that Sinema sticks to that vow, Democrats will still have a workable Senate majority in the next Congress, though it will not exactly be the neat and tidy 51 seats they assumed. They’re expected to also have the votes to control Senate committees. And Sinema’s move means Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) — a pivotal swing vote in the 50-50 chamber the past two years — will hold onto some but not all of his outsized influence in the Democratic caucus.

She voted to confirm Brown. She'll vote with the Dems on judicial appointments. We still have Kamala to break any ties. The Dem party is far from ruined.

Almost certainly she has no intention of sticking around.....COngress is a deeply broken place.....so many good people have left because it is not worth their time.
She wasn’t good, she misrepresented herself to the AZ voters. People like her is why Congress is broken. She represents herself and her interests, not her constituents.

I think her voting record already did that, but this is just her Elon Musk moment.
It's a yawner. It's no different than expecting Manchin to suddenly stop caucusing with Republicans.
At least Sinema will be on board for any/all gay rights issues, but the fact is there won't be anything coming out of the House for 2 years.
This could all be moot.

I don’t think it’s ruined
But she didn’t do this to Help all the Americans who are trying to rid us of Trumpers
She knows exactly what she’s doing
I don’t trust the asshole
Do you?
It would change nothing Bernie votes 95-99% for Democrats as an Independent. That would not change if he became a Democrat. It’s not the party that counts it’s the way they vote. Why don’t you feel King should change his party?

Further proof that Citizens United was the worst thing to ever happen to elections

This changes nothing. There are already 2 Indies that caucus with Democrats. Now there are 3

How about both of them?
Bernie uses my party’s platform and cash to run when it suits his ass

Why do you think an R/D before the name means anything?
Manchin is a Republican.
This changes nothing
