• 2006: “looking forward to the revolution” when “overweight white men” no longer ran government."
• 2017: "If they only saw my closet,” Sinema said, putting the point more finely. “I’m, like, an awesome capitalist.”

• "...ramped up her work as a legal observer with the ACLU and a group called No More Deaths."
• "asked why she hadn’t helped with the recall. Pearce, she replied, as Senate president, was her boss; antagonizing him would have made it harder to get things done."
Sinema has taken more than $466,000 from individuals and political action committees tied to the pharmaceutical industry since she was first elected in 2018.
She started out so strong, right? She makes me think of Brando's Terry Malloy now though. Only we're the ones stuck holding the one way ticket to Palookaville.

"...I could'a been somebody." She could've too.
BrazenDropout
AZ voters let the replacement begin. She's going to come back around to hope we forget but please remember just what a fake human she is.
ThePerks2010
That pink outfit is a bold choice...

Bought.

Who is her handler? Like, is there someone making sure she's taking her meds?
Gryphonosiris
She'll vote in whatever way will get her that new Coach hand bag and Gucci boots.
simplejacksoffhismeds
I bet money had everything to do with it.
MsAlderaan
Thanks for the info. I will take my vote and send it elsewhere next election.
Bizarkly
Apparently lying through your teeth to get elected is *not* restricted to Republicans...
pr3viso
The first objective is to get reelected. Then gather as much money as possible. Maybe look after the citizens of the republic.
londonosierra2000
She's become republican, meaning she's got a price!
SixSixxtySix
Maverick-y!
trojaSpaceBandit
Oh she's a monster for hire. She also wants to sabotage any climate change legislation. Wants to cut $100 Billion in proposed climate funds
trojaSpaceBandit
She'll literally watch the world burn for her own benefit.
Xerxes4242
No more votes for her from me.
Syxcfaq
Ditto. I plan on donating what I can to a primary challenger.
Xerxes4242

I never did. 'Course, I'm not from Arizona anyway...
Crazycoke1994
Greed, once they aquire power and are given money then they show who they truly are.
buzkilljoy
blatantly corrupt. when there are no consequences, this shit continues
ProjectDA
if only we seized their assets, tosses them in jail and and went after those paying them off also
iwanttobebobdylan
My theory is that she started boning that Biggs guy and learning about all of his dirty, conservative tricks.

She has betrayed every constituent that worked to get her elected. No question she was seduced by the dark-side. Vote her out!
DragonSamurai1600
She’s going to lose us our thin majority
ISayShenanigans
I really want to believe Arizonanians will vote her out, I just don't think they can do it. Prove me wrong, Arizona.
goodforyouman
I worry they’re ripe for some firebrand qop'r to slide in and play/prey on their want for change.

Just add money ?

When are people going to learn that politicians do not care about you
goodforyouman
They do not. I just don't know what to do. They feel untouchable. How do we compel rich sociopaths to decency? Flummoxed.
Bridgiebird
Some people change their minds once they find out how much money they can make if they listen to "donators" preferences.
HeroThatWasNeeded
She's burnt bridges, she can't become a lobbyist after she's primaried and no GOPer will work with a bisexual woman. Just pure greed.
bugcooper
you mean a politician lied?
Hambonerhandy
There was an article where the interviewed a lot of her past friends, colleagues, and subordinates. She's in it for herself 100%. She does
Hambonerhandy
Anything to advance her career and doesn't give a single shit about positions on things. Pretty much a female mayo Pete.
defiedthestars
Biden has taken over 8mil in pharma lobbying and lied to our faces about M4A being more expensive during the primary and we still got him.
defiedthestars
Love how imgur Dems downvote with their feelings to try to suppress facts. That inclinations one of the reasons why our party isn't trusted.
defiedthestars
...So far as all the top establishment DNC being corporate shills. Agree on the Pete. Good seeing your observation here.
cardinal29
Y'all have a link?
Hambonerhandy
www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/10/27/kyrsten-sinema-ambition-loyalty-517224 I think this is it, not 100% on that.
Cabreza
When it comes time Primary her.
EmptyHouseBurglar
Can she be recalled?
Richter12x2
Can you do a recall election, like they tried for governor in California?
BlacknCrimsonRose
Not for a national senator or representative. You can only recall on local or state level, not federal.
mpalos25
And get on social media, threaten to boycott any corporation that hires her on or pays her to speak. F up her retirement plans
goodforyouman
Spent last week or so meeting foxnews posters and their "we'll kill you","here's pics of your kids at school" approach is really taking off.
Meteodrive
People like you are the problem. Spread her entrails across city hall spelling out "beware what we do next time"
goodforyouman
So, 20ish ft of viscera, 22 letters. Just stretch each intestine out, halve them both lengthwise twice and it should shape enough letters.
Bhargo
she doesnt care about another term, its why she is selling out so hard. it was always about money to her.
rossimus
That's still many years away, and chances are she doesn't run for reelection; the goal was to position herself for a cushy job in Pharma.

goodforyouman
Thank you jreno236.
mormacil
She knows hence she abandoned all shame. She just wants to grift till she's ousted.
Magjee
Yep, it's a 6 year term, she's going to ride it out. Raise money for a campaign, not run it, pocket the cash and get a lobbyist gig.
Strategicgnomer
Don't you folks have a way to get her out of office before her term? There's gotta be a way to have a recall election
PopeTart
Can’t discuss it here. Meet us under the bridge at midnight. The password is Sic Semper Tyrannus
BlacknCrimsonRose
I'd looked it up. At this point, the Senate would need to vote to remove her. Removing a rep/senator is like removing a pres once in office.
Strategicgnomer
Well, guess you just need to hope for midterm wins. Good luck America
cdlong
Can senators be recalled?
treed240z
Not anymore. Our country is fucked and broken.
morrighan42
Yes, but I think sometimes the Governor of the state can pick their replacement so you don't want this in this case.
BlacknCrimsonRose
No. They would be removed in the same manner as a president - through trial and punishment within Congress. Then it depends on how the state
BlacknCrimsonRose
deals with a vacancy. Some are appointed based on party, some are just whomever the gov picks, some are voted in by state congress.
morrighan42
Thank you for clarifying!
BlacknCrimsonRose
No problem. I thought the same, but ended up researching it like a week or 2 ago.
NeverDownvoteMelBrooks
Depends on the state
cdlong
I'm talking about at the federal level. Are there different laws in different states for a federal level office?
Tyriks
No. No state or the federal law allows for recall of Senators.
StarscreamAndHutch
And since the bounds have been tested, these are the sort if things that need to be fixed and made law. But that sure the fuck wont happen.
