Simema leaves Democratic party

signalmankenneth said:

After the Arizona mid-terms results in November, it will be easy to beat or replace Simema now?!! She is not poplar in Arizona either and is a very bad senator too?!!

She knows there is no future for her in politics. She would get trounced as a Dem, but can garner many more millions from lobbyists as an Indie.

She ran as a pixie, green haired ultra liberal, and turned into some form of Libertarian whore once she was seated.

ah you still dont get it.
do you call Dems party line votes "knee jerk" "counterproductive?"

For them, no. Of course not. It's what they want. They want violent criminals roaming the streets, they want people camping and pooping on their sidewalks, they want open borders. If given a chance they want war and nation building. FFS, it's what they want. But a prime example was the AK delegation voting for the infrastructure bill. Of course it adds fuel to inflation and it's bad for the country as a whole but the benefits to AK far outweigh that. It's called voting for your own best interests. If the dims in the lower 48 want to pay to give us free money we'll take it.

and voting against a Rep nominee (Lindsey is the same on that yes)

Don't know what you're talking about there.

"All politics are local" but not in DC.. why do you think we have bad inflation and a drop in GDP ranking from number 1 to number 4 in the G7 since Trump left?

It did not help Tchibaka's campaign for Trump to come up here and have a rally endorsing Tchibaka and Sarah. She should have distanced herself from Trump and treated Sarah like kryptonite (because she is), but that just goes to show how inept a politician she was. I firmly believe part of the reason Lisa was re-elected was as a rebuke of Trump. Agreed he had some good policies but his behavior and personality got in the way of implementing those. He's just horrible at playing the game of politics. He exasperated many repubs. Most of my intelligent republican friends understand he's just overall very, very bad for the republican party and consequently avoided the candidates he endorsed. GA is a prime example. Kemp was re-elected easily and he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Those very same voters did not give the same amount of support for Hershel.

I have always had low expectations for Sinema to begin with, and as a practical matter I don't think this matters as much as some of the alarmist headlines I've seen imply.

All that really matters in a tangible sense is that she caucus with Dems (like Bernie does) so they maintain a 51 seat Parliamentary majority, and she keeps voting for 90 percent of Biden's judicial nominations.

I agree. As I stated...others were getting some oxygen, so she had to stake her claim.

She knows that she's done in the next election
 
Dutch Uncle said:
Agreed. The deep pockets and connections of the two major parties will see her lose in the future.

She's the darling of Big Pharma and Wall St.

She'll have more money than the Dem. candidate, which will come in handy when splitting the vote with the Republican

Brandon is also hated in the US wiuth a similiar unfavorable rating yet this asshat is in office. I guess that blows your theory.

Nope. National polling is very different than local polling.

She's done.

The mid term showed that Biden is not hated in America.

Thats a lie. I have had knock down drag outs with him and disagree with him a ton politically. But I respect him. I respect him because unlike a lot of others he has his OWN opinions and ideas instead of parroting a party line. Thats a sign of intelligence and balls,.....instead of weakness and mental deficiency like yourself. It is GOOD when people think for themselves instead of being told what to think Desh. Something you will never have the ability to understand.

There is no path to Sinema winning re-election in 2024 because she won't have the AZ Dem Party infrastructure and fundraising behind her.

Instead, she will have to build that all entirely from scratch without Democratic money, support, or personnel.

No Democrat is going to vote for her as an Independent after this, so the only votes her 3P candidacy will siphon off will be those pervert GOPers who aren't quite MAGA enough to vote for the whackjob Conservative, but are still fascist enough to not vote for the Democrat.

I think Sinema knows that, but I also think this defection is her last ditch effort to save her political career (albeit misguided). Good riddance to her.
 
She was a Democrat who voted with the far left Democrat Socialists most of the time.

She is no longer a Democrat.

About the same as Susan Collins.
Lindsey and Mitch vote with Biden over half the time .

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/biden-congress-votes/

The entire AK delegation which included Don Young at the time voted for the infrastructure bill.
That gives funds for the AK Marine Highway and for the much needed gas pipeline which has been a boondoggle here decades for lack of funding.
The bill was definitely in our best interests.
Believe me, I understand that we could do better than Lisa but knee jerked votes against Biden just because he’s a dim and a doddering senile old fool is counterproductive.

I prefer people who don’t always support their party line.

Fine. It doesn't matter how much Big Pharma or Wall St. cock she sucks; neither will throw money at her unless she produces results. I doubt she can do that for them as an Independent.

IMO, she just signaled she's open for business as a Democrat until January 2025 then she's cashing out.

She still has time to cash out the way she did the entire time they were crafting the infrastructure bill.

She will caucus with Dems, but she will take tons of cash to gum up the works.

Denying an end to carried interest just earned the wealthiest in the nation billions of dollars. They invested well.

Same for Big Pharma, which is why Arizona voters hate her. She forces them to pay more for medication

There are 8 dem senators that vote w/ Biden 100% of the time.
20 more of them that vote w/ him 98%

Compare that w/ the Trump years.
Only 2 repubs voted 100% w/ Trump
0% voted > 98%

Overall, republicans have been more likely to vote across the aisle than dems are.

trump had no policies. Nobody could vote 'with trump'.

No Republican has voted across the aisle in 10 years. Sure...one house will vote with Dems, knowing it will die in the other house. See the bipartisan immigration bill under Obama.

Until Biden. Biden knows how to get things done.
