i truly do not understand how someone can be so politically inept as Sinema is. all she had to do was be a boring ass Dem and she’ll be in this seat for life but instead she wants to be a maverick corporatist so she’s going to either wash out or get like 12% running the worst independent campaign of all time
right but she could totally do that while still being a boring Dem instead of all the stuff she’s done to this point to piss people off! that’s what makes it confusing, she’s treating this like she has to either Be a Senator or Be a Consultant when like half of even Dem Senators are doing both, lol

And then get hired at 10x her Senate salary by one of the corporations she represented.

I guess being a boring Dem wouldn’t be as lucrative?
