Sinema has gone full mask off. Obviously she wants to void get primaried so she decided to go independent to stay relevant for as long as possible. Glad we know it now versus later in 2024….

Not sure this changes anything. The Dems already rely on 2 independents that becomes 3. For most things they will win votes 51 to 49, 1 better than pre mid terms where they relied on the VP extra vote for a majority. But now with the one they picked up the 2 dodgy dems would both have to vote with the GOP to stop something. This is a non event.

So if she stands as an Independent, does she take votes from the Democratic candidate and let in the Republican?

Yes she could. But from what I have heard, she’s not that popular in her state of Arizona but 2024 is bit of a while away so things could change. However, even if she does her political future is done. A split ticket would be her nuking her’s and the Democrats chance of holding that Senate seat in AZ. But I guess for Sinema that’s not a big deal since she can just get a cozy corporate job. Maybe even become a talking head on Fox News.

I think she possibly takes as many of the Republican voters. The dems will be delighted and odds are she won't run.So if she stands as an Independent, does she take votes from the Democratic candidate and let in the Republican?

More important than a treasonous insurrection?
I dunno how to quantify that statement as it's all relative.
But, I will say dickheads who say "ignore the troll" aren't suffering with healthcare issues, nor 'unhoused' living under bridges in minus temperatures, nor on strike trying up their wages whilst billionaires keep collecting, nor struggling whilst taxes go abroad as they suffer without choice.
For any fucking **** similar to that knobhead that says 'ignore these issues', fuck them and fuck anything they believe in.
If you believe that Jan 6th, which dominates Dem and MSM airwaves, is MORE important than any of the above, there's nothing I can help you with.

Honest question, are you a Trump/MAGA/GOP supporter?I dunno how to quantify that statement as it's all relative.

No.
I didn't know being working class and supporting people who are at the bottom end of the scale made me right wing.
Then again, it's how people on these threads absolve themselves with these type of accusations when I pitch reality to them.
If you don't fall into that category, we're good.
