In reply to the discussion: Arizona Democratic Party has passed a resolution pledging a vote of NO CONFIDENCE in @KyrstenSinema [View all]W_HAMILTON
(7,840 posts)...no, in a 52-48 Democratic-controlled Senate, Democrats would not need Sinema nearly as much as Sinema would need Democrats and their voters.
And I'd happily thumb my nose at her, just like she seems to be doing to us. She is an anchor on Democrats at the moment and her only benefit is that she is voting with Democrats; if she no longer does that, she serves no useful purpose to Democrats or the Democratic agenda.
And if Democrats were to take back the Senate next year only to lose it in 2024, odds are that the very unpopular Sinema would be one of the reasons why and her seat would be one of the ones most likely to change hands. So, once again, not a problem worth worrying about.
We might need to kiss her ass now -- which is pretty shameful to begin with, given that even the no-morals Republicans that have parted ways with Trump still support most (if not all) of his agenda, yet we have to kiss Sinema's ass to get her to support Democratic policies and appointments? -- but odds are we won't have to for very long and, when that time comes, there should be hell to pay for her part in obstructing our party's agenda.
