Yup. She could’ve been quiet and had a job for life. But that’s not her nature.

Sometimes the people who dress like, “Hey! Look at me!” it’s like a signal to everyone else, “WARNING! DANGER! STAY AWAY!” like some kind of poisonous frog.

Well well, mister fancy-pants, I hope you're wearing your matching sweater today, or you'll be cut down like the ugly tree you are.
"If the evidence doesn't agree with me then that's actually evidence that there's a coverup and I'm right" has got to be one of the most infuriating aspects of modern politics.

I've said it before: Manchin was an obstructionist piece of poo poo, but he was better for this country in that WV senator seat than whatever miner-killing coal executive republicans would send. Sinema was worse because we could have had someone who wasn't complete human garbage instead.

she says: well these immigrants crossing the border now aren't mexican, they're from sourth america and they're dangerous

Boomers are amazing at getting people to argue.
It's from watching a poo poo ton of sitcoms where it's all just just actors turning mundane inconvenience into apocalypses

"You have any insight on the people on the ballot."
Answer Yes - all of sudden 'what do you think about this or that."
Answer No - Well why not? did you vote?!

I got out of it by asking "Are you talking about the judges?"
And yeah they were.

But that abstract "people on the ballot" - Is just a perfect question to miss-understand and piss people off.
It's the only thing boomers are good at.

Even if she couldn't hold onto her seat, she could have stayed in the race to act as a spoiler and/or ruin whichever party's chances depending on whoever the gently caress is still supporting her.

The fact that she's leaving now means she's definitively locked up some board position or whatever other grift she needed to make enough money to retire on.

Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona said on Tuesday that she would not seek re-election, ending more than a year of speculation about her political future and clearing the race for a traditional matchup between the eventual Democratic and Republican nominees.

“Because I choose civility, understanding, listening, working together to get stuff done, I will leave the Senate at the end of this year,” she said in a video announcement.

Its our fault we cant see Sinema's enlightened centrism as genius.

quote:

"Despite modernizing our infrastructure, ensuring clean water, delivering good jobs and safer communities, Americans still choose to retreat farther to their partisan corners," Sinema said. "These solutions are considered failures, either because they’re too much or not nearly enough."

This is every single Trump voter I've ever interacted with. They are all this loving stupid. Everybody reading this knows that but it still just makes my head spin at how utterly loving deplorable they all are. Just imagine buzzing around all day with those kinds of thoughts in your head.

"loving Obama! Biden's puppet master letting illegal immigrants taking our jobs and raising our the gas prices. If Trump weren't our the President this would be so much worser. God bless Trump for being our President in such a dire times I swear because Biden's presidency is worse than I would have imagined! And these caravans Obama is letting in. Don't get me started on Taylor Swift. She's are the President too!"

Just absolutely NOTHING between those ears.

I don't even think it can be a complete "gently caress you got mine," because that has a sense of self preservation.
Saying that, trump was chosen by god, and ignoring that his army of fan boys would kill her, is American Propaganda brain worms.

The problem with New Mexicans is that they exist through a series of unfortunate consequences, got government handouts, and they poo poo on natives for getting "handouts" (living on reservations), poo poo on immigrants (MEXICANS), and think the hand that feeds them has infinite bites

then you want this car Ideas to be popular (not the car or the brand itself, just its ideas)
This is the automobile purity test.

I mentioned this before but that's some of my own family. Desperate for acceptance in the USA, after carving out a living here in a hostile place, they adopt the prejudices of the white majority. How much of that is performative to fit in vs. actual selfishness & malice towards people who could've been them, I can't say - I figure it's a case by case thing. I remember seeing a poll in 2020 that said around 20% of Latino voters went for the orange guy, and that lines up with my personal experience.
