Chris Hayes To Kyrsten Sinema: What Are You Doing Here?

[The Fifty Stateman]

Maybe she's just a vacuous dullard. . .

[PoliticAverse]

1. She's having the time of her life. n/t

[alwaysinasnit]

2. She is working on her retirement plans.

[Botany]

3. She is bought and paid for

[dchill]

4. She's doing her REAL job...

That measly Senate gig barely covers the wardrobe.

5. Thank you, Ryan Grim. She's not behaving like this because of being beholden to corporate money.

"Bought and paid for." Tired of hearing that! The only motivation is NOT money.

"Nobody's seen anything like this. And so there is an impulse out there to say: 'Look, stop trying to overanalyze this. It's quite simple. She raises a ton of corporate money and she's doing the biding of her corporate donors.' No. That analytic framework doesn't work because so many other politicians with so much corporate money aren't behaving his way. You need more."

6. I agree, there is much more to this than money and corruption.

We have some psychological factors at work.
And it is not a pretty picture.

7. Let's fight to get publicly funded elections! What other evidence is needed to prove our

system is rigged?

[Crowman2009]

8. She better get ready for constant choruses of boos if she ever shows her face at a pride event in AZ

[Sucha NastyWoman]

9. Seems like a fine person

But a horrible Senator. Has no interest in representing her constituents.

10. One of the worst aspects of all this, imo, is that the whole time

Sinema is doing all this (hiding from constituents, spending all her time on activities unrelated to her job, and just generally refusing to act like an elected representative of anybody), she does it with an air of smugness and entitlement that is absolutely gagworthy. Someone needs to tell this woman that 1) she is NOT all that and a big of chips, 2) she is not even half of that and and a serving of rancid, week old fries, and 3) she is NOT fooling anyone, least of all those who voted her into office

I just wish to hell she was up for reelection next year, instead of 2024. Of course, that's assuming she even plans to run for reelection, which is definitely debatable, but I sort of hope she does just so I can point and laugh when she gets squashed like a 🪳 in the primary.
