Sen. Krysten Sinemas Build Back Better Obstruction Backfires And Enrages Arizona
https://www.politicususa.com/2021/10/27/sen-krysten-sinemas-build-back-better-obstruction-backfires-and-enrages-arizona.html
"SNIP.....
Sen. Krysten Sinema (D-AZ) has obstructed the passage of the Biden Build Back Better agenda and isnt talking to her constituents who want her to just vote for the bill.
......
MSNBC reported, I think the point you made about the way that shes going about this, we just saw Senator Manchin talking to the media there. That is not something that Senator Sinema is doing. Shes not doing interviews or holding town halls or talking to constituents. Constituents have told me that they are not able to have a meeting with her, and theyre upset about that, and youre hearing that really across the political spectrum.
......
One of Sinemas constituents said, Our families are struggling, affording their bills and electricity, but at the same time, theyre going through a rough period of time, when they dont have a/c, through the high polluted days and high extreme days. So we thats why we need her support. So my message to our senator will be to, to support us and vote on the Build Back Better plan, because it will help our low-income communities and communities of color.

Time to face the People--your constituents, whose votes gave you the office you swore to serve.

asshole, camera crew, moderator (not chuck todd!), and constituents can be live at a "town hall." if asshole is a no-show the show still gets aired

(16,844 posts)so she has no incentive to listen to her constituents, if you want to call them that. I don't think these attempts at shaming her are doing any good. If anything, I get the impression they're making her dig deeper into her contrary position.

(24,412 posts)I mean she could just stop being a total contrarian if she wanted to. Any time. And the voters would probably eventually forgive and forget if something good gets passes. If shes just building her golden parachute for when she has to face re-election we are probably SOL.

(16,844 posts)Her unfavorables in Arizona are at 65% in the last figures I saw. I don't see her coming back from that, at least not if she runs again and runs as a Democrat. I think that's why she isn't paying any attention to voters and doesn't seem to care what anyone else thinks. Maybe she's considering running as a Republican next time. However, I don't think she could win the nomination on that side, either. Judging by her behavior, it just makes sense to me that she isn't interested in continuing a career in politics.

(6,278 posts)Not particularly ugly in her outward appearance, but her mannerisms and her countenance. And disregard for anyone other than herself.
She really is not someone that I could see making it in that industry. Men can pull that bad clothing and attitude off, but so far, I have yet to see a woman who works hard at being unpresentable get into that space.

Or any other one for that matter.

whatever party she thinks she's gonna run with--everyone is gonna remember this crap she's pulling now
she should create her own party: Indifference

She knows this, and she knows she has no chance of winning the Democratic nomination in 2024.
If she ran as an Independent, her treasonous sabotage of the Democratic party, democracy, and the United States would be a success. I wonder who will reward her, and what the reward for her betrayal will be, if she runs as as an Independent.
Does she have a secret crush on Trump, or some other bizarre reason for betraying the country?
