(128,073 posts)22. I've seen and scrolled through your posts on DU.
The last time that I felt compelled to offer as many reference links to support a simple statement or opinion was when I wrote my research paper for my advanced organic chemistry class in 1987 (before you were born and most people were on the Internet). That is why I rarely read or comment on your posts, but since you decided to engage me tonight I am responding to you.
:sigh:
Unfortunately, there are no guarantees that Democrats will hold onto that Senate seat whether or not Sinema is the nominee. Arizona is a purple state and Sinema rode into office based upon dissent of Trump. Pretending that a progressive can carry the state in 2024 will possibly result in disappointment.
:double sigh:
However, giving Republicans the gift of dissing Sinema on a Democratic Website isn't anything that a Democrat should be happy about it.
