She has even got arrested a few times fighting for what she believes in. You can't say the same for someone like Sinema

That's why she joined the Green party and Code Pink. Those things are outside the system. It lets her feel like she's not part of the crowd. It's also why she dresses so outrageously. It puts her outside the norms.

Now that she's an actual insider, she doesn't know how to handle it. So, she goes against her own party to set herself apart.

But it's awkward when someone whose whole brand is about being an outsider becomes a senator, part of the establishment. Really stupid to keep pretending to be an outsider when you're an insider. She's not the only one.

She went from pretty liberal to whatever she is now. My guess is she proves that money, and who you get it from, does change everything.....apparently in her case she’s added snotty with her retorts to Reporters.

It is disgusting and another reason why we need Public funding of elections.

She will not be the Democratic candidate from AZ in 2024, because she will lose the Dem primary, but it won't matter.

Her work at helping destroy the Democratic party, and democracy in the US, will be done.

Who are her handlers?
