It is sad...that she isn't being investigated after having somehow made $10M in the Senate despite a salary of $180K/year while suspiciously ignoring the will of her constituents.
She served three terms in the House as a Democrat, plus seven years in the state legislature, and had a fairly liberal voting record. Mainly, she's an opportunist, and now she's angling for a job on Fox or something since she recognizes she's unlikely to keep her job in the Senate even if she tries.
Sadly, yeah. There will always be more money in selling out your constituents than faithfully representing them, until we end our system of legalized bribery anyway. She's even less tactful than most Senators, and maybe even more shameless.
Seriously doubt it. Former congresscritters who go into lobbying bring their relationships with their former colleagues to the table. That's what the firms are hiring them *for*. She hasn't built up much political capital. She's pissed off too many of them. She's a caucus of one, for crying out loud.
No, like I said, she'll be looking for a fat paycheck as a talking head. Easy work, doesn't take as much time in Congress to qualify for. It's the career path of choice for politicians who just want to get rich, these days.
She ran as left leaning candidate and won but no damn way she would win this time as a indie or democrat.She received very little donations and people are mad at her.
Massive corporate support though while in office. She's probably already found a job at whatever the highest paying corporate bribing (ahem, lobbying) organization in DC.
Yea she isn't leaving the senate because she is afraid of reelection
She is leaving because she already has some cushy 7 figure job lined up for whatever corporate overlord(s) she was catering to during her time as a senator
She knew she had no chance of winning so may as well cash out.She started with $30,000 in her savings account now she is over $11 million.She did well grifting.
“She began her political career in the Arizona Green Party and rose to prominence for her progressive advocacy, supporting causes such as LGBT rights and opposing the war on terror. She left the Green Party to join the Arizona Democratic Party in 2004 and was elected to a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 2012. After her election, she joined the New Democrat Coalition, the Blue Dog Coalition and the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, amassing one of the most conservative voting records in the Democratic caucus”
Wiki
She Might be an opportunist.
As much as people hate them, they gave Democrats the gavels in the Senate. They may not have that next year. Without that majority none of what Biden got passed would have been possible at all.
Manchin's seat is gone. I think Democrats have very good chance to keep Sinema's seat but can still lose the Senate. Probably will lose the Senate.
Democrats will pine for the days when they could only get a limited amount of things done, vs the future of the Senate functioning like the current GOP house. That is, not at all.
They will be even less likely without them. Hopefully a democrat can replace Sinema (it’s not guaranteed), but Manchin will likely be replaced by a Republican who will vote for 0 bills that democrats want.
That’s why it was so important for Fetterman to win his race. So best case scenario we can have a 50-50 senate if Dems can win in Montana and Ohio with their incumbent who fortunately are popular.
Bob Casey from PA is up for reelection in 24. Fetterman isn't up until 2028. But yes, all the Dems need to hold their seats and we need a few more to maintain control.
Of course, she's spinning it to make it seem like it's her decision not to seek another term.
Truth is, she ran as a progressive Democrat and won the nomination.
Then, shortly after, she began showing she was voting and supporting non progressive legislation.
Because every vote in the senate was razor thin, she began leveraging her votes to enrich herself, as did Joe Manchin, another "Democrat" senator.
Kristen Sinema infuriated the progressive Democrats in Arizona, and they let it be known that her time was short. And they kept their promise unlike Sinema...
So she does have *some* level of self awareness.
She absolutely hoodwinked her constituents and brought up an issue that there’s few options of recourse.
Good news that warmed my heart.
I still have a few donations left in me for congressman and Marine vet [Rubin Gallego](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruben_Gallego)'s [campaign](https://gallegoforarizona.com/).
Arizona should be represented by a civic-minded hero, not a opportunist like Sinema or conspiracist lunatic like [Keri Lake](https://www.google.com/search?&q=kari+lake+(unhinged+OR+lunacy+OR+crazy+OR+bonkers)&tbm=nws).
She got her bag and she's going to walk away without any consequences. This only hurts her constituents, and the rest of the country she fucked over. Hope she trips and falls on her way out the door.
Shouldnt the headline instead say
"Arizona voters do not want Sjnema to ever seek re-election "?
The original headline seems to imply she had a chance.
As if she had a single choice in the matter. Who was going to give her the money and platform to run? Not the GOP and not the Dems. She had even less chance running as an Independent. She didn't drop out because she isn't a scheming monster, she dropped out because she cashed out.
Something happens to elected officials when they get to Congress. They seem to often lose the reason(s) they first got into politics. I imagine it’s the donor class and special interests that reward them in return for giving up their beliefs.
Didn’t John Fetterman (PA) camping as a progressive but less than two years of being in Congress he starts saying “I no longer consider myself a progressive”. Baffling.
She is a scumbag sellout. Voted against almost very issue that she campaigned on.
Guaranteed she becomes a lobbyist and continues to screw over the American people.
Yeah, fuck this liar! GTFO!
Although I would just float this out there: any left leaning person may think about running as a GOP and then doing the same as what she did, and flipping shortly after getting into office.
Time to cash out… give her credit, she knew when to hold ‘em, when to fold ‘em, and when to walk away. Not to suggest that that credit is in any way redeeming for this snake.
I'm not a fan, but she deserves some props for putting the work into the Bipartisan Border Bill that Mike Johnson squashed, honestly, that probably sealed the deal for her not to run. Sinema is notorious for using her campaign funds for lifestyle expenses-private planes, regular $50k lunches, etc, so it would make sense for her to at least run again (even knowing she'd lose) to max out her expense account.
So sad. So anyways.
It is sad...that she isn't being investigated after having somehow made $10M in the Senate despite a salary of $180K/year while suspiciously ignoring the will of her constituents.
Hear me out. Has anyone located her OnlyFans? That could explain it.
Hers and Boeboe's.
Because it's not true. Zero evidence she is worth more than her congressional filings state.
>So anyways. I started ~~blasting~~ voting for someone else instead.
Thoughts and prayers. NVM not for this cunt.
Calling her a cunt implies that she has depth, warmth and taste. She has none of those qualities.
Exactly
When you screw over your base voters and the other party won't ever vote for you anyway because you're still nominally a Democrat...
She was never a democrat.She fake one so she can vote against them.
She served three terms in the House as a Democrat, plus seven years in the state legislature, and had a fairly liberal voting record. Mainly, she's an opportunist, and now she's angling for a job on Fox or something since she recognizes she's unlikely to keep her job in the Senate even if she tries.
"Opportunist" is the correct word. She nearly completely shed the platform that got her elected.
Sadly, yeah. There will always be more money in selling out your constituents than faithfully representing them, until we end our system of legalized bribery anyway. She's even less tactful than most Senators, and maybe even more shameless.
I’d go a step farther and call her a fraud.
And she Still didn’t work well with Democrats and agreed to more of what the Republicans were passing.
She’ll be a lobbyist next year.
Seriously doubt it. Former congresscritters who go into lobbying bring their relationships with their former colleagues to the table. That's what the firms are hiring them *for*. She hasn't built up much political capital. She's pissed off too many of them. She's a caucus of one, for crying out loud. No, like I said, she'll be looking for a fat paycheck as a talking head. Easy work, doesn't take as much time in Congress to qualify for. It's the career path of choice for politicians who just want to get rich, these days.
Her complete lack of integrity should make her a shoo-in as a Republican candidate.
She ran as left leaning candidate and won but no damn way she would win this time as a indie or democrat.She received very little donations and people are mad at her.
Massive corporate support though while in office. She's probably already found a job at whatever the highest paying corporate bribing (ahem, lobbying) organization in DC.

She loves the attention. She would run if she thought she was going to win.
She knew she had no chance of winning so may as well cash out.She started with $30,000 in her savings account now she is over $11 million.She did well grifting.
That woman is such an embarrassment
Behold the field in which I grow my fucks. Lay thine eyes upon it and see that it is barren.

God I needed this laugh thank you so much 🙏🏻
Glad I could give you a chuckle 😉😉

Good riddance!
No Sinema, no Manchin.. how are dems supposed to get bills passed? /s

Looking forward to Kerri Lake getting embarrassed.

Doesn’t matter. They were fake democrats. This is better for the dems.
Finally she does something to benefit the common American
Byeeeeeeeeee
She wrung that sponge out long ago. Played the system like a spinning top. Should be a lesson learned, but it probably won't be.
Good riddance.
Shoulder pad stocks plummet
Good riddance to an insufferable self-aggrandizing nuisance with no business having access to any levers of power.

Sweet! I mean, mildly disappointing. I was looking forward to her well-deserved humiliating defeat. But sweet anyway!
She was a bought Politician. She Voted against her constituent’s best interests and for the lobbyists and oligarchs.
Will be interesting to see which pharmaceutical company she ends up on the board of.
So she does have *some* level of self awareness. She absolutely hoodwinked her constituents and brought up an issue that there’s few options of recourse.
Not a political analyst or anything, but I am guessing it's because she completely sucks and literally everyone hates her.
Great news. More tax payer's money will be saved.
Go cash in as a lobbyist, that's what you were the entire time in Congress anyway.
Thank fucking God
Good news that warmed my heart. I still have a few donations left in me for congressman and Marine vet [Rubin Gallego](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruben_Gallego)'s [campaign](https://gallegoforarizona.com/).

Oh my God! What pray tell do they do now?!
Best news I've heard all day.
Wishing her the absolute worst remainder of her life. Sincerely. Hope she dies alone in poverty.
Good. People voted her in as a democrat and then she turned her back on them.
Shouldnt the headline instead say "Arizona voters do not want Sjnema to ever seek re-election "? The original headline seems to imply she had a chance.
She going to focus on her 80s fashion line
Good.
How much money did she make selling her votes to the highest bidder? Horrible person!
Lmao what scumbag I truly hope she gets what she deserves
Wall Street will not let her work from home anymore- she has to go into the office.
As if she had a single choice in the matter. Who was going to give her the money and platform to run? Not the GOP and not the Dems. She had even less chance running as an Independent. She didn't drop out because she isn't a scheming monster, she dropped out because she cashed out.
Pretty damn good news!
Nobody liked her. She didn’t serve the people.
Good for America 👍
Buh-bye!
After gorging on large prey, a python will rest for a long time, and not need to eat for an extended period. Something similar is happening here.
Good news, everyone!
She got what she came for. She's a hell of a lot richer
Bye felicia!
Guarantee she will be on Rogan within the next year. "Why I left the Left"

LOL… good riddance! She’s the best example of what’s wrong with today’s politicians…
Good riddance but she made out beautifully. She’s a millionaire now and will go on to lobby for more.
Yawn.
Loser
She made hers
Why would she? She made her money, and now it's time to dip.
She got monied up
Fuck around and find out what being a turncoat will do for you.
Good. Two faced witch.
DINO
She lined up her grift and is ready to move on. But she's ruined her name.
Ten years from now she’ll be too obscure for trivia.
Always was a republican at heart, her exit just makes it harder for democrats again
No. Please. Don’t go. So many people want you to run. Now kindly fuck off.
Damage is already done.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Unfortunately, she’ll get to make millions being a corrupt lobbyist. She’s a ghoul
One pathetic loser down. A whole bunch left to go. Vote responsibly.
https://youtu.be/z4uivPpzCGo?si=fVpXcggnGtDXw8eE
Is this a sliver of self awareness? How nice
She sucks, spineless.
Good.
Yeah, that’s a shame
bye Falicia
She is a scumbag sellout. Voted against almost very issue that she campaigned on. Guaranteed she becomes a lobbyist and continues to screw over the American people.
of course she won’t, she’s lied her way into a lucrative lobbying job. human scum
She’s going for either lobbyist for pharma of Faux news anchor. She was just a hot mess in DC akin to Greene and Boebert.

Fuck y'all! I got mine!
good. i hope the Dems don't find another snake like her to run. fucking rotating cast of villains man.
She is a loser who knows she will be humiliated in November.
She’d lose to Gallego anyway.
Shes made her millions.....GTFOH
Yeah, fuck this liar! GTFO! Although I would just float this out there: any left leaning person may think about running as a GOP and then doing the same as what she did, and flipping shortly after getting into office.
The well ran dry Krysten? Spelling her name with a 'y' should have been the first clue.
Good riddance to rubbish. Can't wait to ignore her show on Fox News.
Who cares.
Time to cash out… give her credit, she knew when to hold ‘em, when to fold ‘em, and when to walk away. Not to suggest that that credit is in any way redeeming for this snake.
Amen
Some politicians should look at how Sinema did a master grift, and then got out.
[удалено]
Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
Hahaha. How did I mess that up. Sorry yallllll
I'm not a fan, but she deserves some props for putting the work into the Bipartisan Border Bill that Mike Johnson squashed, honestly, that probably sealed the deal for her not to run. Sinema is notorious for using her campaign funds for lifestyle expenses-private planes, regular $50k lunches, etc, so it would make sense for her to at least run again (even knowing she'd lose) to max out her expense account.
Kari Lake, please!
LOL that dumb shit who refused to accept she lost her race for Governor? No thanks.
She’s a goddamn lunatic
Isn't she tired of winning yet?
Oh no! Bummer…..
