Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) announced she will not seek reelection this year, avoiding an unpredictable three-way race in the swing state that had many national Democrats worried about holding onto the seat.

    I didn’t think she really ever intended to run again, which is why she was so brazen about burning every possible bridge to the ground. I assume she intends to get a bs job for one of the people who bought her.

    I agree, it is a gift link… it feels like Christmas.

    As a pan person can I just briefly express how disappointing it is that Kyrsten was our first bi senator? Fucking hell.

      She wasn’t bi, she was buy. As in “you could buy me.” which we often found her happily being bought.

      “Bi” seems an apt description of her party affiliation.

        Some newspapers and online news sources require a paid subscription to read the article. Subscribers can create a link to the article so people who don’t have a subscription can read it. There’s a limit to how many gift links a subscriber can create, in the case of Washington Post it’s 10 per month.

          Thank you for the explanation. It’s a term I’ve only seen recently and I’ve waited a little while to see if I could figure it out by context but that hadn’t happened yet.

    Somebody convinced her she wasn’t going to win?

      Or paid her to drop out.

        Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.

        This would be my guess. Most of the polling showed her hurting Lake more than Gallego.

      That’s precisely why she’s dropping out. Her handlers did the math. Same reason No Labels is doing their bullshit. All the polling data says they would take more from the GOP, which is the exact opposite reason they even exist.

    Sinema always reminded me of Sarah Paulson cosplaying as George Santos cosplaying as Sarah Paulson cosplaying as a politician.
