I attended a virtual meeting with the Democratic Women of Greater Prescott AZ and there is a link to primarying Sinema

Dammit I had such hope for her. Now she is just a royal pain in the Ass.

I get Manchin a bit more considering the mineral lobbies going after him. They are pretty powerful. But seriously, are you a Democrat? Or are you something else.

My daughter was so happy when Synema defeated the "crazy lady" I am not so sure AZ did any better.

I do hope the person who ends up primarying her is a whiz - bang who can knock her out and take down the Republikcan, whoever that may be.

There are a number of things which are making me very tired. Please please Democrats - don't let this strange situation stop you from voting straight Democrat in every election

As bad as Sinema is, she is heads and tails better than every single Republican senator.

The worst Democrat is better than the best Republican in the Senate. Ask the majority leader and the judges Biden has been able to appoint.

Her poor selfish naive performance will probably give that seat back

A fart is better than shitting your pants but they both stink
