Our clay ankles — these two senators who have debased themselves with lobbyist money and become drunk on their own power to destroy. Watching them from outside the halls of power is beyond demoralizing and underlines the helplessness we feel every day.
Sinema's become just another corrupt, self-serving politician, bought and paid for by corporate selfish interests, and easily manipulated by flattery. Maybe she supported Ralph Nader, not because she believed in his policy positions, but because she liked the idea of being a rebel sticking it to the establishment. Contrast with Rep. Cori Bush, who was homeless for a time, and doesn't want her constituents to suffer as she did.
I'm a Dem drowning in a sea of trump's braindead army in the state of AZ (thank you for the sympathy). Just sent your succinct message to sin-enema. She has heard from me many times as I have believed she was receptive to voter input. That foolish hope is now dead
As one of her constituents, I can freely say she is a complete disaster and nothing like she portrayed herself as when we voted for her. Can’t wait until we can replace her with a real Democrat.
I think President Biden should invite her into his office & recite your letter to her. Maybe make an audio tape on a loop & make her listen to it until she comes back to reality.
She's been paid by republican donors. Congress needs to make their salary. No more. No donations from anyone. Total financial transparency. Less holidays. No lifetime benefits. Congressional job requirements should include a minimum of a four year degree, pass physical/mental health eval and full time residency in the district they serve. They need to be held to the same ethical/behavioral standards we are. They should be paid the average income of the districts thet rep. No gerrymandering - no electoral college- simple majority rules. No filibuster. Pass voting rights. Expand scotus. Any elected/appointed official, media source etc... who spreads false information immediately fired/shut down. This is what we need. Common sense.
It’s clear that she has a glaring personality disorder but I think her stance is more about the donations she gets from big Pharma and other donors. I wonder why so few commenters follow the money. The system is corrupt and people like Sinema and Manchin (fossil fuel industry) are being richly rewarded for protecting the interests of the powerful.
What you described in the above Dr. Reich is at the heart of the psychological evolution of our species. We are at a crossroads. We can go the way of Sinema or the the way of Martin Luther King. We as a nation are in the process of choosing the beliefs and assumptions, values and norms that will drive our civilization for the foreseeable future. The battle field of the new American revolution lies within the mind.
This is just a fun gig for her, she’s not a believer in public service, obviously. I’m still somewhat surprised at the lack of qualifications required to be an elected official, but if a narcissistic sociopath, a crooked washed up TV reality show host can be president, we don’t have any standards, Kyrsten Sinema can be as nutty as she likes.
Thank you so much for doing this (referring to the overall project, not merely this specific post; sorry to be off-topic). But I just wanted to say that I’m thrilled to be a part of this and have the utmost respect for everything you’re doing, and I look forward to checking out Office Hours! I’ve been having a particularly hard day and signing up for this just made it a little better. Hats off to us all for participating!
Manchin and Sinema reached a deal with McConnell during the the month that McConnell refused to call a session handing the 'gavel' to Schumer. McConnell finally did so only after reaching a deal with Manchin and Sinema. Has any reporter ever asked what that deal entailed? Sinema turned on a dime after that 'deal' was struck, so what was she promised? Clearly it was enough to sell out her party, and her country.

Arizona Democrats - please censure this self-centered twit immediately and make sure she has no friends and no future in our party.

But I SHALL continue the good fight!

The narcissist's pronouns: me/my/mine

Wow! Mr.Reich knocks it out of the park! I haven't had a good laugh/cry like that in a while.

Did you email that to her? PERFECT!

I do believe Mr. Reich has captured sinema's psyche.
