I think it’s just been short sighted self-interest at every turn which has led to no good options for the self’s long term career.
Very good point. Its pretty clear she’s now an independent grifter for hire, whereas she was a “democrat” grifter for hire
She knows she’ll get thrashed in a primary. Calculated move.
She is quite possibly every single thing I hate about US politics in one package.

I saw it as an opportunity to retain some form of relevance combined with a bit of a tantrum
Sinema is a risk to Dem and GOP chances. If the GOP candidate is a nutcase, many right wing voters will shift to Sinema. She’s in a weird middle ground between the two parties, so no real indication of what way she’d split the vote.

Whilst I get the unfovaurable rating looking “bad”, how would that set of ratings be if normalised against the overall ratings of Washington politicians according to each of those groups?
I suspect it might not look bad at all.
I more posted that because there’s no clear bias. She’s consistently liked and disliked by pretty much every demographic. That makes it really hard to predict the wildcard effect in the next election.

How do you make $10m in 4 years as a senator. How’s it even possible unless your taking bribes.

Starting to sound like a Windsor / Oakshot scenario hotting up in Washington.
We all know what happened to that pair after the end of that parliament.
She’s said she won’t caucus with the GOP so she’s probably not going to get any spill of significance vote wise from that side. She’s voted with Dems on vast majority of things, it’s what she’s destroyed by not that tells the tale. She’s bought and sold, it just stinks so much more because most of them aren’t pretending to be anything other than grifters, and obviously because she’s held the country to ransom on huge beneficial legislation in order to exact maximum benefit for her billionaire benefactors. Prada Socialist was a kind description.

Only a matter of time before Musk publicly identifies with Qanon I reckon. Looks to be following the playbook. He’s a nutcase, created almost entirely by Governments subsidising his businesses for many years. Ironically, many of those now cheering for him would formerly have been rabidly scornful of his “green energy” beginnings.
We’re heading for an ever deepening cesspool of completely spurious lies and worshipping of falsehoods. The stupid are desperate to prove their superiority over any form of genuine knowledge. Galileo would look on with personal sympathy as to the current situation.

If you look at the so called “Twitter files” - and I’m never doing it again , I need a wash - theres actually nothing terribly revealing in them anyway. Hell, even Miranda Farking Devine thinks they’re disappointing ,lol. And yet the Trumpists have gone into full meltdown, government interference, Twitter trafficking child ■■■■, Hunters laptop, stolen elections, blah blah farking blah. And Musk goading it all with “this is a crime scene” bullshit. We’re well and truly through the looking glass with these people now.

Yes, you know they are “would be” when a check on net worth is given variously as $50M, 170M 300M .
