Can we focus on getting Mark Kelly reelected?

Sinema is not up until 2024. Kelly is up this year.

Can we stop worrying about Sinema and potential primary opponents and put all our efforts into reelecting Kelly and other Democratic Senators?

Please?

If Kelly loses this year, we probably lose Sinema’s seat whether she’s primaried or not

If Sinema is the candidate, she can’t win enough support on the left to keep the seat. If she is taken out in an ugly primary, the new candidate loses the benefits of incumbency and probably loses enough of the center to give the seat to the republicans if they’re already beat Kelly.

He needs to win and win convincingly

but 90% Sinema and 10% Kelly isn't multi-tasking, it's ignoring the soon upcoming midterms in favor of 2024.

I also donated to Charles Booker but Dems like Sinema are killing our chances at winning the midterms not to mention we aren’t getting anything done. I will vote for a primary challenge to Sinema as well.

Sinema will have her day in 2024. Right now all attention and focus in Arizona should be on Kelly's reelection efforts.

too much time talking about a Sinema primary (which I hope happens) and not nearly enough time talking and working to get Democrats elected and re-elected this year.

I’m also voting for someone other than Sinema in 2024. I actually have a say as an Arizona voter.
