    I mean, words could be said about Kyrsten Sinema but I think this is far more appropriate of a summary of her time as a politician…

    Good. She can’t win; she’d only function as a spoiler. Not that I’d want her to win anyway, she was awful. I still remember that weird thumbs down into curtsy motion she made to kill a bill (I think it was to increase the federal minimum wage). Had real “fuck the poors” energy.

      It blows my mind that Sinema was once a member of the Green Party.

      That makes zero sense.

        Does this help?

          Not really; it’s just a convenient excuse for the Dems to blame others and not take responsibility for their own mistakes.

          For example:

          How the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately “elevated” Donald Trump with its “pied piper” strategy

          (Also, the Green Party had nothing to do with Scalia stopping the Florida vote count in 2000, which is how George W. Bush “won” the presidency.)

            The Dems making mistakes and Greens being spoilers are not mutually exclusive.

              In some cases that’s a mistaken assumption.

              Some voters don’t bother voting if they don’t have an acceptable candidate to vote for, and sometimes that’s a third-party candidate.

              Despite protests to the contrary, the two major parties are not entitled to these votes.
